Managing HPE 3PAR StoreServ II: Optimizing and Remote Replication [HK904S]

OVERVIEW

This course covers Remote Copy, System Reporter, Adaptive Optimization, and Peer Motion. Additional topics include best practices: performance, cost, and high availability along with the new EVA to HP 3PAR Online Migration feature. Hands-on lab exercises help illustrate the concepts learned. The two-day course is 50 percent lecture and 50 percent hands-on labs using HP 3PAR arrays. In some cases students will partner with other students for hands-on labs.

OBJECTIVES

At the conclusion of this course you should be able to:

• Understand the difference between Synchronous, Periodic Asynchronous, and Synchronous Long Distance (SLD) modes
• Perform a failover of a Remote Copy Group (RCG)
• Use Management Console 4.3 GUI and the CLI to manage Remote Copy
• Use System Reporter quick reports, custom reports, and scheduled reports
• Configure email alerts in System Reporter
• Set up an Adaptive Optimization (AO) configuration
• Know how SSDs, Fibre Channel (FC), SAS (FC – Fast Class) and Near-Line (NL) drives fit into an AO tiered storage solution
• Use the AO reports in System Reporter and the new AO reports in Management Console 4.3
• Describe RAID impact on overall performance, cost, and availability
• Understand the HP 3PAR caching algorithms
• Use the CLI stat commands for troubleshooting HP 3PAR performance issues
• Use the System Tuner capabilities
• Administrate a Peer Motion configuration

AUDIENCE

HP 3PAR administrators who desire additional training on more features and concepts of the HP 3PAR disk array.
