IBM Storage Scale Remote Data Access (Digital version)
Course Description
Overview
Enterprises are creating, analyzing and keeping more data than ever before. An organization's underlying storage must support new-era big data and artificial intelligence workloads along with traditional applications while ensuring security, reliability and high performance. IBM Storage Scale meets these challenges as a high-performance solution for managing data at scale.
This course is intended for IT professionals tasked with administering a Storage Scale storage cluster consisting of Linux nodes. The course includes information on various Storage Scale features that enable remote access to data that is stored in a cluster file system. This includes: multi-cluster support, clustered NFS, cluster export services (CES) and protocol support (NFS, SMB, and Object), Active File Management (AFM), and AFM-based Asynchronous Disaster Recovery (AFM DR). The features are described in lecture materials and implemented in lab exercises.
Objectives
- Configure a cluster to allow remote file system access
- Mount a Storage Scale file system from a remote cluster
- Implement Active File Management (AFM)
- Summarize AFM cache modes
- Describe AFM DR
- Differentiate AFM and AFM DR
- Implement AFM DR
- Describe and implement Clustered NFS (CNFS)
- Describe the Cluster Export Services (CES) architecture
- Implement CES protocols (NFS, SMB, and Object)
- Differentiate CNFS and CES NFS
Audience
This lecture and exercise-based course is for individuals who want to configure a Spectrum Scale cluster to allow remote data access.

Self-Paced Training Terms & Conditions
This is a Self-Paced virtual class; it is intended for students who do not need the support of a classroom instructor.
If you feel you would better benefit from having access to a Subject Matter Expert, please enroll in the Instructor-Led version instead. Minimal technical support is provided to address issues with accessing the platform or problems within the lab environment.
Before you enroll, review the system requirements to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for this course. AFTER YOU ARE ENROLLED IN THIS COURSE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CANCEL YOUR ENROLLMENT. You are billed for the course when you submit the enrollment form. Self-Paced Virtual Classes are non-refundable. Once you purchase a Self-Paced Virtual Class, you will be charged the full price.
After you receive payment confirmation from LearnQuest, you will be sent further access instructions and time limits for your course from IBM.
IMPORTANT!!! If your course provides access to a hands-on lab (Virtual Lab Environment), you will have a specific number of days (varies course by course) on the remote lab platform to complete your hands-on labs. Do not start your lab until you are ready to use your lab time effectively. Time allotted in the virtual lab environment will be indicated once you log into your course. The self-paced format gives you the opportunity to complete the course at your convenience, at any location, and at your own pace. The course is available 24 hours a day.
If the course requires a remote lab system, the lab system access is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. When you are not using the elab system, ensure that you suspend your elab to maximize your hours available to use the elab system. Note: This does not add additional days to your Lab Environment time frame.
