Discover enterprise storage concepts, including block-level and file-level storage, storage pools and raid groups, and how Windows and Unix environments access data via network protocols.
Explore direct attached storage (DAS) concepts, including disk enclosures, hard disks, and storage controllers, and examine how backups, archives, and usable space affect server storage.
Explore nas concepts, including nas architecture, initiator and target roles, iSCSI protocol, software adapters, and ip-based storage networking.
Explore SAN concepts, including how storage area networks connect servers to storage via Fibre Channel and Ethernet, detailing storage controllers, host bus adapters, and provisioning in a SAN environment.
Explore the EMC VNXe SAN architecture, unified storage, and storage processors. See how mid-range to high-end models offer scalable, highly available block and local storage with RAID and battery backup.
Configure Windows Server 2019 as nas storage by installing the File and Storage Services role, enabling Storage Spaces, and creating volumes via Server Manager.
Explore storage design with VMware ESXi, including creating data stores, configuring iSCSI and VMkernel networking, and aligning initiator and target connections for hypervisor storage.
Configure a VMkernel network for storage on an ESXi host, set the IP configuration and range, assign a subnet mask, and apply default storage networking settings.
Create an NFS share in storage by creating a folder, enabling the NFS service, and configuring read-only or read-write permissions for network groups.
Learn to configure an NFS share as a datastore on a VMware ESXi host. Create and manage datastores and allocate storage for virtual machines.
Enable the iSCSI initiator on a VMware ESXi host, configure the storage adapters to connect to the iSCSI target, and create a datastore from the new storage.
Create and present a LUN for an ESXi host in storage, using server manager to configure targets, name the target, and understand dynamically expanding storage considerations.
Configure the iSCSI initiator in a VMware ESXi host to connect a LUN, manage targets and bindings, then perform rescan and reconfigure storage connections for reliable access.
Configure the connected LUN as a datastore on the VMware ESXi host by creating a new datastore, selecting the storage, provisioning capacity, and formatting partitions to enable persistent storage.
Demonstrate how to increase datastore capacity on a VMware ESXi host by selecting the datastore, choosing to extend existing VM storage, and completing the capacity expansion.
Enable the iSCSI initiator on windows server 2019 and configure initiator and target connections to establish storage access for the server.
Learn to create a new virtual disk and LUN for Windows Server 2019 using the server manager storage service. The video demonstrates configuring targets, access, and authentication for storage presentation.
Configure the iSCSI initiator in Windows Server 2019 to connect a LUN by setting up the target portal and managing storage on the server.
Extend the LUN size to increase logical drive capacity in Windows Server 2019, leveraging unallocated space and storage management practices without data loss.
Course Overview
An Enterprise Storage System is a centralized repository for business information. It provides a common resource for data sharing, management and protection via connections to other computer systems.
