Description
Designing Cisco Storage Networking Solutions (DCSNS)
v3.0 is a 5-day hands-on workshop that provides learners with advanced
skills in designing Cisco storage networks. Students will learn about
the key features of the MDS 9000 platform, and how to leverage these
features to build highly available, extensible, intelligent SANs.
DCSNS includes hands-on labs to familiarize students with basic MDS
9000 configuration procedures, and design workshops where students will
learn to design multiprotocol enterprise SANs and SAN extension
solutions.
DCSNS enables the student to design enterprise Cisco MDS 9000 solutions
that include core Fibre Channel SANs, iSCSI for mid-range applications,
and SAN extension solutions.
This course replaces Cisco MDS 9000 Storage Networking Fundamentals
(CMSNF) v2.0 and Cisco Storage Design Essentials (CSDE) v2.0. It
includes SAN-OS 2.1, 3.0 and basic IP networking. Objectives
After completing this course the student should be able to:
- Given a SAN environment, identify the components, services, and
features of the MDS 9000 platform that can be used to improve the
availability, scalability, performance, and manageability of the SAN.
- Given the MDS platform components, design a multiprotocol SAN to meet a variety of customer requirements.
- Given a SAN environment, design a SAN that enables storage consolidation.
- Given a SAN environment, design a SAN security implementation
that includes port and fabric security, secure management protocols,
and role-based access control to meet security policy requirements.
- Given an understanding of SAN extension applications, design
a SAN extension solution that meets application availability,
performance, and scalability requirements.
