Duration: 35 Hours of Deep-Dive Technical Training
🏗️ Module 1: Next-Gen Architecture & Foundations
VSP Family Tree: Deep dive into VSP 5000 Series, E-Series, and the new VSP One (Block & File) architecture.
Hardware Internals: Cache partitioning, Front-end/Back-end directors, and Grid-link interconnects.
Virtual Storage Machines (VSM): Understanding virtualization layers and resource grouping.
Global Storage Virtualization: Logic behind external storage virtualization via Storage Navigator.
⚙️ Module 2: Advanced Storage Provisioning & Admin
The Command Suite: Mastery of RAIDCOM and Command Line Interface (CCI) for bulk operations.
Legacy vs. Modern Admin:
Allocation via Device Manager & Storage Navigator.
Modern workflows using Ops Center Administrator.
VSP One Ecosystem: Management via VSP One Block Administrator and VSP One File Administrator.
Capacity Management: Advanced Pool creation, LDEV expansion, and Thin Provisioning (HDP/HDT) optimization.
📊 Module 3: Performance Analysis & Optimization
Ops Center Analyzer: End-to-end performance visibility from Host to Disk.
Deep Dive Tools: Utilizing Detail Viewer and the IO Tool for granular bottleneck identification.
Performance Tuning: Managing MP Blade utilization, Cache Residency Manager, and Sideband traffic optimization.
Reports: Generating automated health checks and performance baselines for stakeholders.
🔁 Module 4: Business Continuity & Replication (The Core)
Local Replication: Configuration and troubleshooting of ShadowImage and Thin Image (Snapshots).
Remote Replication: * TrueCopy (Sync): Low latency synchronous setups.
HUR (Async): Journal-based asynchronous replication for long distances.
High Availability: Global Active Device (GAD) setup, Quorum disk configuration, and cross-site path management.
Replication Troubleshooting: Handling suspended pairs, journal overflows, and RPO lag.
☁️ Module 5: HNAS & Cloud Integration
HNAS Administration: Day-to-day File Services management, EVS (Enterprise Virtual Servers), and File Systems.
HNAS Replication: Object-level and File-level replication strategies.
Hitachi Content Platform (HCP): Managing unstructured data, metadata, and cloud tiering.
Hybrid Cloud: Integrating Hitachi VSP with Cisco Intersight for unified infrastructure management.
🛠️ Module 6: Monitoring, Troubleshooting & Lifecycle
Proactive Monitoring: SNMP setup, Syslog integration, and Ops Center Clear Sight for cloud-based insights.
The Troubleshooting Toolkit:
Host reservation issues and SCSI-3 persistent reservations.
Block and NAS array error code analysis.
SSL & Security: Renewal of SSL certificates for Ops Center, SanNav, and HCP.
Firmware & Software: Ops Center Upgrades, SanNav installation, and microcode upgrade pre-checks.
🔄 Module 7: Data Migration & Automation
Volume Migrator: Non-disruptive storage-level migrations.
Ops Center Automator: Creating automated service catalogs for "one-click" provisioning.
External Virtualization: Migrating data from 3rd party arrays (Dell, NetApp) to Hitachi using VSP as a virtualization engine.
🔌 Module 8: SAN Fabric Mastery (Brocade)
Zoning & Fabrics: Advanced Zoning, Aliasing, and Virtual Fabric (VF) implementation.
Switch Lifecycle: Brocade FOS upgrades and SanNav management.
Troubleshooting: Analyzing SFP power levels, CRC errors, and "slow drain" device detection.
🎯 Course Highlights
Who is this for? L3 Engineers, Storage Architects, and learners from non-technical backgrounds (includes "Storage Basics" bridge sessions).
Outcome: Prepare for real-world L3 production support and high-level design interviews.
Interactive: Regular Q&A Sessions to solve your specific on-the-job technical hurdles.
