This course is designed for new or entry-level HPE B-series SAN administrators. It provides a comprehensive understanding of everyday administration within an HPE SAN solution, covering a broad range of technologies and concepts such as FC, iSCSI, and FCoE. It discusses basics and building blocks of FC and IP-SAN with examples based on HPE B-series products, as well as the role of SAN-enabled hosts and disk targets. HPE B-series SAN features and management options are also presented. Other topics include data protection, basic SAN security, and performance aspects of SAN components. Please note that advanced technologies are only introduced in this course, while they are fully covered in the SAN Essentials II: Advanced B-series Networking class. This training helps students gain the experience needed to tackle the challenges of working in medium-sized and enterprise class HPE B-series SAN environments. This course covers general SAN technologies and HPE StoreFabric B-series specific topics.
