Data ONTAP NFS Administration (NFS)

Overview
 
This course covers how to administer NFS version 3 (NFSv3) and NFS version 4 (NFSv4) in Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode and NFSv3, NFSv4, and NFS version 4.1 (NFSv4.1) in clustered Data ONTAP.
 
Who should attend
 
Professionals who implement NFS solutions that use NetApp storage systems
