StorageGRID Software Troubleshooting [ARR_NEP_SG-TS]

OVERVIEW

In this course, students learn troubleshooting skills to support the implementation and lifecycle management of NetApp StorageGRID software.  Through theoretical explanations and hands on exercises, delegates will learn to control the architecture, option, services and features of the StorageGRID system

Students will also learn about the security and authentication mechanisms, logging and monitoring resources and Apache Cassandra implementation.  Additionally, the processes to expand and upgrade the system, FabricPool technology plus investigating Simple Storage Services (S3) issues.
