This course teaches you how to create a prepared and fully NetApp simulator laboratory from scratch, employing NetApp's most recent operating system, ONTAP 9. The lab features two NetApp simulatorclusterswith Windows and Linux clients in separate IP subnets to make it as close to a real world environment as possible...and best of all you can build and run the lab completely for free, all you need is a PC to run it on. We will walk you through step-by-step how to download the free software and how to create the NetApp simulators and for both Windows as well as Linux clients as well as the VMware configuration and how to set up the network. Nearly all NetApp features are available to be used and tested in the Lab. It can be used to study or to test features prior to installing the features in your production environment. The lab design described in the book is similar to the one I use to create the practical demonstrations I use that I use in my NetApp training videos. Follow the steps in this course to construct your own lab, and then follow my instructions. I hope that you will benefit from this course to increase your knowledge of storage and advance your career.
