Résumé du cours
This course is for advanced HPE B-Series SAN administrators and is a follow-up to the HPE SAN Essentials I: Administration Fundamentals class. This course does not cover basics since those are discussed in the Fundamentals training. This course introduces new topics such as advanced fibre channel (FC) features, additional HPE B-Series SAN management options, SAN extension technologies, advanced SAN security, and hardware installation. All practical parts are based on HPE B-Series SAN devices. This course helps students gain the experience needed to tackle the challenges of working in medium-sized and enterprise-class HPE B-Series SAN environments.
