Description
Overview
This course covers how to use Veritas Access to manage storage, file systems, and shares using the Veritas Access web-based GUI and command line. You learn about file system and file share administration as well as creating and maintaining NFS, CIFS, S3, and FTP file shares. In this course, you configure cloud-based storage as a secondary tier in Veritas Access. You also learn how to integrate Veritas Access as LTR storage for NetBackup.
Duration
Five days
Course Objectives
By the completion of this course, you will be able to:
Install and configure a Veritas Access cluster.
Configure authentication services in Veritas Access.
Configure Veritas Access shares (NFS/CIFS/S3/FTP).
Configure and administer storage tiers.
Deduplicate and compress data.
Configure quality of service (QoS).
Configure file retention for WORM-enabled file systems.
Configure continuous and episodic replication.
Create a scale-out file system.
Configure a cloud tier in AWS S3 and Glacier.
Move files between primary and cloud tiers.
Backup and restore data using NetBackup.
Install and configure Veritas Access as NetBackup LTR storage with optional migration to the cloud.
Perform basic troubleshooting tasks.
Who Should Attend
This course is for UNIX/Linux system architects, system administrators, system engineers, technical support personnel, network/SAN administrators, and systems integration/development staff who will be designing, installing, operating, and/or integrating Veritas Access.
Prerequisites
You must have working knowledge of advanced computer terminology, including TCP/IP networking and Internet concepts, and administrator-level knowledge of RedHat Enterprise Linux 7.4. Knowledge of cloud technologies and Microsoft Windows 2008/2012 operating systems is a plus.
Hands-On
This course includes practical hands-on exercises that enable you to test your new skills and begin to transfer them into your working environment.
