Description
Implementing Advanced Cisco Storage Networking Solutions (IASNS) v3.2.3 is a
5-day lecture/lab course that provides learners with advanced skills in
implementing and troubleshooting Cisco storage networks.
IASNS v3.2.3 focuses on advanced storage networking topics for the Cisco MDS
Family of switches, including building virtual SAN fabrics, building
heterogeneous SAN fabrics, configuring management and security services,
configuring iSCSI, and advanced troubleshooting skills. A significant portion of
the course is devoted to troubleshooting.
The course enables the student to implement advanced Cisco MDS 9000 technologies
and features that apply primarily to enterprise SANs, and troubleshoot common
SAN problems and configuration errors.
IASNS v3.2.3 merges CASI and a portion of the Internet SCSI (iSCSI) content
formerly found in CMSE.
SKYLINE-ATS Course Enhancements
- Lab equipment running SAN-OS 3.2.3
- Incorporating VMware Virtual Machines into a storage network
- Implementing NPIV to enable individual zoning of virtual
machines
- Booting a virtual machine from a storage network
IASNS v3.2.3 includes additional supplemental content covering:
- New Hardware Platforms
- MDS 9222i Multiservice Modular Switch
- MDS 18/4-Port Multiservice Module
- MDS 9124/9134 Multilayer Fabric Switch
- New Feature Set

- N-Port Virtualizer (NPV)
Objectives
After completing this course the student should be able to:
- Given a detailed Fibre Channel SAN design specification, the
learner will be able to implement a SAN with multiple virtual fabrics using the
full range of features and capabilities provided by the Cisco MDS platform, so
that the SAN demonstrates high availability, scalability, performance, and
interoperability.
- Given a detailed set of Fibre Channel SAN management
requirements, the learner will be able to configure and use fabric management,
performance management, and security services on the Cisco MDS platform, so that
the SAN can be effectively managed, tuned, and secured.
- Given a set of observable symptoms on a Fibre Channel SAN, the
learner will be able to diagnose and correct software configuration issues and
inoperable hardware components, so that the problems are resolved with minimal
disruption to the SAN environment.
- Given a set of requirements for an iSCSI implementation, the
learner will be able to identify and configure the appropriate iSCSI features to
meet the requirements.
