This course is intended for IT professionals tasked with administering an IBM Storage Scale storage cluster in Linux and AIX environments.
It 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.
Note: Although the lab environment is running the Linux operating system, the differences in Storage Scale compared with an AIX environment are minor. Therefore, the skills acquired during the course can be applied in both Linux and AIX environments.
Upon completion of this course, you can request an IBM badge that recognizes your skills and knowledge in this area.
