Understand core storage concepts across file-level and block storage, including file storage via NAS, NFS and CIFS/SMB, and block storage via iSCSI and Fibre Channel with LUNs presented to hosts.
Explore direct attached storage concepts, including disk enclosures, external boxes, channels, and raid controller integration to expand local storage for servers.
Explore network-attached storage concepts, including nas boxes, storage operating systems, iSCSI protocol, initiators and targets, and sharing data via shared folders across Windows and Linux environments.
Understand san concepts by examining storage pools, lands, hosts, and storage controllers, and learn how fiber channel, iSCSI, or ethernet networks create an isolated storage network.
Explore EMC vnxe overview, hardware architecture with multiple storage processors, dedicated memory, and a unified operating system that supports file and block storage over fc and iscsi, with high availability.
Configure Windows Server 2019 as nas storage by installing File and Storage Services via Server Manager, enable iSCSI service, and create iSCSI virtual disks and targets to manage storage.
Understand storage in a VMware ESXi environment, including hypervisor setup and datastore configuration. Learn to enable the iSCSI initiator, set storage IP and port 3260, and build VMkernel storage networks.
Create a VMkernel network on an ESXi host to enable storage communication, then configure its IP address and subnet and attach it to the storage initiator.
Create and share a folder on Windows storage using the NFS service, configure read-write permissions, enable anonymous logon, and access the share from Linux devices.
Log into the ESXi host web client, create a new NFS datastore from the storage IP and path, name it, select the NFS version, and verify the mounted capacity.
Enable the iSCSI initiator on a VMware ESXi host, generate the iqn, and use it to configure a target in storage.
Create and present an iSCSI LUN for a VMware ESXi host by creating a new virtual disk, configuring a target, and attaching it to the host for verification.
Configure the iSCSI initiator on a VMware ESXi host by setting VMkernel network bindings, adding a storage IP as a dynamic target, and verifying the LUN connection with a rescan.
Configure the connected LUN as a datastore on a VMware ESXi host, create it from an unpartitioned disk, name it, set the partition size, and finish with data loss warning.
Learn to increase datastore capacity on a VMware ESXi host by extending existing volumes or adding new virtual disks, while preserving existing virtual machine files.
Learn to enable the iSCSI initiator on Windows Server 2019 using server manager, start the service, and review the initiator properties and the IKEA name to share with storage teams.
Create and present a LUN for Windows Server 2019 by configuring disk management, creating a virtual disk, setting capacity, and assigning a target and access service.
configure the iSCSI initiator in windows server 2019 to discover and connect a LUN presented by storage, verify in disk management, and initialize and format the disk.
Learn how to extend the LUN in storage to increase the logical drive capacity on Windows Server 2019, including rescanning disks and extending the volume.
