Course Description:
The Fundamentals of Performance Analysis course provides students with the knowledge and skills to perform data collection and analysis on NetApp storage systems. The student learns how to interpret the data and apply performance changes based on their analysis. The student will use data for tuning, monitoring, and other performance related areas.
Who Should Attend:
This class is for students who want to perform data collection and analysis on NetApp storage systems.
Benefits of Attendance:
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Recognize performance terminology and basic methodology
- Describe how Data ONTAP reads and writes data to disks
- Diagram how data flows through Data ONTAP components
- Use knowledge about how data flows through the network and protocol layers of Data ONTAP to monitor and analyze storage system performance
- Use Data ONTAP tools and NetApp provided scripts to identify networking disk I/O, Fibre Channel loop saturation and CPU bottlenecks
- Use the reallocation command to optimize disk performance
- Utilize both client and storage system tools to monitor and analyze a performance problem
- Identify where to find further information
Prerequisites:
Students must have taken Introduction to NetApp products and Data ONTAP Fundamentals and have three months of experience with NetApp hardware and software products. It is recommended, but not required, that students have taken NetApp Hardware Fundamentals and FAS3000 Series Hardware Maintenance courses.
