This course teaches you how to create a prepared and complete NetApp simulator laboratory from scratch using NetApp's most recent operating system, ONTAP 9. The lab is comprised of two NetApp simulator clusters that include Windows as well as Linux clients on separate IP subnets, to create as realistically a working scenario as is possible... And the best of all, you can create and run the lab at no cost All you require is a computer to use it. We will walk you through step-by-step how to download all the software free of charge and how to create the NetApp simulators and both the Windows as well as Linux clients as well as the VMware configuration and the way to set up the network. Nearly all NetApp features can be used and tested in the Lab. It can be used to study or to test features prior to installing the features in the production setting. The lab design described in the book is similar to the one I use to create the practical demonstrations I use that I use in my NetApp training videos. The instructions in this course to construct your own lab, and then follow my instructions. I hope that you will benefit from this course to increase your knowledge of storage and expand your career.
