Opleiding: IBM Storage Scale Fundamentals (Digital version) [H010DG]
OVERVIEW
This course is intended for IT professionals tasked with administering an IBM Storage Scale storage cluster in environments running Linux and AIX nodes. The course includes information on installing, configuring, and monitoring an IBM Storage Scale cluster. Many Storage Scale features are described in lecture materials and then implemented in lab exercises. These features include: Storage management, high availability options, cluster management, and information lifecycle management (ILM) tools.
Upon completion of this course, you will earn an IBM digital badge that recognizes your skills and knowledge in this area.
