Using hands-on labs, this course teaches students how to perform common management tasks, including array installation, volume creation, and data protection/recovery using snapshots. This course also covers system monitoring basics using Nimble Storage’s InfoSight
By the completion of this course, the learner will be able to complete the following tasks using the Nimble operating system:
• Perform initial configuration of a new array with NSM and GUI
• Perform post-installation tests
• Create volumes and zero-copy clones
• Attach and verify volumes/clones to Windows
• Create and modify data protection policies for volumes
• Restore volumes and individual files from a snapshot • Use the Nimble GUI to monitor array capacity/performance
