Course title:
Planning and Implementing a Storage Area Network (SAN)
Course duration: 3.0 days
Course number: SN71
Abstract: 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
Note: You may also be interested in attending Introduction to Storage Networking (SN70). SN70 is generally scheduled immediately preceeding SN71.

IBM System Storage: Implementing an IBM SAN
Publication number: SG24-6116
Includes the latest additions to the IBM SAN family, e.g., products from companies such as Brocade, QLogic, Cisco and McDATA. We show how they can be implemented in an open systems environment, and we focus on the Fibre Channel protocol (FCP) environment in particular, and we have included a FICON quickstart section . We address some of the key concepts that they bring to the market, and in each case, we give an overview of those functions that are essential to building a robust SAN environment.
