Course Overview
TOPThis newly updated to ONTAP v9.3 is a three-day, instructor-led course uses lecture and hands-on exercises to teach basic administration of an ONTAP cluster. You configure and maintain a cluster. You practice working with ONTAP features. You use the cluster shell and OnCommand System Manager to manage storage and network resources. ONTAP Cluster Administration is an intermediate course in a comprehensive learning path for customers, partners, and NetApp employees.
