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
2-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.
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
Benefits to you
Understand tradeoffs between cost, availability, and performance when making HP 3PAR administration decisions
Learn how to migrate your midrange and enterprise block storage data using Peer Motion reducing migration time and application downtime so users experience smooth functioning IT operations
Optimize your systems by generating and interpreting the Adaptive Optimization reports available within System Reporter
