NetApp - Performance Analysis on Clustered Data ONTAP (NA-PERFCDOT)

Der Kurs wird in deutscher Sprache angeboten, obwohl das Schulungsmaterial auf Englisch und in digitaler Form bereitgestellt wird.

Er richtet sich an Fachleute, die NetApp-Speichersysteme verwalten und sich näher mit der Leistungsfähigkeit des Clustered Data ONTAP Systems befassen möchten.

Ziel des Kurses ist es, den Teilnehmern nach Abschluss des DCADM-Kurses ein fundiertes Verständnis zur Leistungsverwaltung auf Clustered Data ONTAP zu vermitteln. Die Schulung zeigt, wie man verschiedene Tools, wie Systembefehle und NetApp OnCommand, zur Erfassung und Überwachung von Leistungsdaten nutzt. Die Teilnehmer lernen, diese Informationen zu verwenden, um Änderungen am System voranzutreiben, die die Effizienz steigern. Während des zweitägigen Kurses kommen praxisorientierte Labore, Fallstudien und technische Diskussionen zum Einsatz.

Diese Weiterbildung wird in Zusammenarbeit mit der Fast Lane GmbH durchgeführt.

Module 1: How a NetApp Storage System Works

- Describe the layers within the Data ONTAP architecture

- List the advantages that are provided by the ability of WAFL to optimize writes

- Explain the purpose of NVRAM

- Diagram the flow of read and write requests through the network and protocol layers of Data ONTAP

- Describe the benefits that RAID provides

Module 2: Performance Overview

- Define performance-related terms, such as “baseline,” “bottleneck,” “Little’s law,” and “latency”

- Describe baseline performance guidelines and methodologies as they relate to NetApp storage systems

- Module 3: Clustered Storage System Workloads and Bottlenecks

- Gather information about the workload of an existing storage system

- Identify the storage system components that can affect performance—become bottlenecks

Module 4: Cluster Performance Monitoring and Analysis

- Describe the performance analysis tools and commands that are commonly used for cluster health checks

- Identify the key performance commands and describe the command output that they produce

- Explain how to use NetApp tools for performance measurement

- Describe the benefits of using the AutoSupport support tool for performance analysis

Module 5: OnCommand Management Tools

- List the three categories of performance tools

- Explain the features and functions of Insight Perform

- Explain the features and functions of OnCommand Balance

- Use OnCommand management tools to view performance data

Module 6: Storage QoS

- Discuss how the Storage Quality of Service (QoS) feature works in a clustered Data ONTAP environment

- Identify the commands that are used to manage policy groups

- Monitor workload performance

Labs

- Identify the exercise environment

- Log in to the exercise environment

- Add a cluster to OnCommand System Manager

- Configure SNMP public community name

- Identify clustered Data ONTAP components

- Set the clustered Data ONTAP command line system timeout value (optional)

- Examine the statistics catalog commands

- Examine the statistics start and statistics show commands

- Defining workload characteristics

- Perform initial health checks on the cluster

- Baseline performance monitoring from the cluster shell

- Performance monitoring from the cluster shell

- Unlock diag userid

- Using the performance and statistics collector (Perfstat)

- Reactively limit thoughput to a workload by associating the workload with QoS policy group

- Proactively monitor workload performance by associating a workload with a QoS policy group

- Isolate a tenant workload by associating the workload with a QoS policy group
