Overview

This course is designed to leverage SAN storage connectivity by integrating a layer of intelligence or virtualization, the SAN Volume Controller (SVC) to facilitate storage application data access independence from storage management functions and requirements. The focus is on planning and implementation tasks associated with integrating the SVC into the storage area network. It also explains how to:

  • Centralize storage provisioning to host servers from common storage pools.
  • Facilitate the coexistence and migration of data from non-virtualized to the virtualized environment.
  • Improve storage utilization effectiveness using Thin Provisioning and Real-time Compression.
  • Implement storage tiering and optimize solid state drives (SSDs) or flash systems usage with Easy Tier.
  • Utilize network-level storage subsystem-independent data replication services to satisfy backup and disaster recovery requirements.

  • Distinguish the concepts of IBM Spectrum virtualization.
  • Recall the history for IBM SAN Volume Controller.
  • Classify the characteristics and components of the IBM SAN Volume Controller system and SAS attached expansion enclosures.
  • Outline setups required to integrate an SVC system solution.
  • Compare the characteristics of the RAID and DRAID.
  • Summarize the SVC systems’ ability to scale for capacity and performance.
  • Summarize the virtualization process converting physical storage space into virtual resources.
  • Recall the process to create host access storage on an SVC system.
  • Differentiate the advanced software features designed to simplify data management, reclaim storage space, and preserve storage investments.
  • Differentiate methods in which to migrate data to and from the virtualized system environment.
  • Summarize the methods of remote data replications to improve availability and support for disaster recovery.
  • Employ administrative operations to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot the system. environment.
  • Summarize the characteristics of IBM Storage Insights’ ability to identify, troubleshoot and minimize potential system downtime.
