In this course, you learn the basic administration tasks of a NetApp ONTAP 9.10 cluster. You use the cluster shell and NetApp ONTAP System Manager to manage cluster storage and network resources. The course explains the configuration of basic data protection and data efficiency functions and common cluster maintenance tasks.
