Course Description:

'' The SAN infrastructure facilitates storage consolidation, data sharing, server clustering, Local Area Network (LAN)-free and server-free backup across heterogeneous host server platforms. Focus on the planning and implementation considerations associated with establishing the Storage Area Network (SAN) infrastructure. Discuss functions provided by the SAN fabric components, such as Fibre Channel (FC) host bus adapters (HBA), FC switches and directors, and Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) to FC protocol converters. Explore the interdependencies of these components. Examine mechanisms to implement resource access control for data access integrity among heterogeneous hosts in a storage networking environment

SAN infrastructure and data access

relate the storage networking infrastructure to host data access using file Input/Output (I/O) and block I/O protocols
identify control points, such as zoning and Logical Unit Number (LUN) masking, where resource access control for data access integrity can be implemented in a SAN environment
state the purpose of FC services provided by FC switches such as login server, name server, zoning, and registered state change notifications
identify the functions of the FC host bus adapter as it relates to host I/O access and to the SAN fabric
state the purpose of the login process and differentiate among fabric login, port login, and process login
correlate HBA discovered and reported devices from the fabric with host display interfaces
FC switches and directors - Brocade (b-type)

plan for the implementation of the IBM TotalStorage SAN switches and directors (b-type and m-type), and the Cisco directors and switch by reviewing default configuration parameters and tailoring options
list the steps necessary to set up and use the Brocade Web Tools Graphical User Interface (GUI) , the McDATA Enterprise Fabric Connectivity (EFC) Manager, or the Cisco Fabric Manager user interfaces
describe switch port interfaces and port initialization
interpret topology, routing, and trunking data displayed by switch management interfaces for a given fabric
plan and implement switch zoning to restrict any-to-any data access and ensure resource access integrity
FC switches and directors - McDATA (m-type)

plan for the implementation of the IBM TotalStorage SAN switches and directors (b-type, m-type), and the Cisco directors and switch by reviewing default configuration parameters and tailoring options
list the steps necessary to set up and use the Brocade Web Tools GUI, the McDATA EFC Manager, or the Cisco Fabric Manager user interfaces
describe switch port interfaces and port initialization
interpret topology, routing, and trunking data displayed by switch management interfaces for a given fabric
plan and implement switch zoning to restrict any-to-any data access and ensure resource access integrity
FC switches and directors - Cisco MDS

plan for the implementation of the IBM TotalStorage SAN switches and directors (b-type, m-type), and the Cisco directors and switch by reviewing default configuration parameters and tailoring options
list the steps necessary to set up and use the Brocade Web Tools GUI, the McDATA EFC Manager, or the Cisco Fabric Manager user interfaces
describe switch port interfaces and port initialization
interpret topology, routing, and trunking data displayed by switch management interfaces
plan and implement switch zoning to restrict any-to-any data access and ensure resource access integrity
Course summary and introduction to design

identify SAN exploitation goals and technical issues to be considered when designing a SAN
explore options available to configure multiple switches for supporting server to storage access requirements
list one series of steps to follow when designing a SAN infrastructure
assess server requirements versus storage subsystem capabilities
build a fabric based on server and storage bandwidth estimates
