SCSI school training courses in Boston, MA (public, in-house or online)

This class is a mix of lectures and labs with the goal of providing students with a first-hand familiarity with iSCSI storage technologies. The lectures start with a review of the fundamental concepts of storage networking and the architectures of SAN solutions, and then quickly move into an in-depth description of iSCSI and the various roles it can play.

The labs are designed to give students a chance to configure iSCSI connections of various types and to explore various iSCSI storage d...

This course is intended to provide you with an introduction to iSCSI storage concepts as they relate to AIX and Linux on IBM Power systems. We will configure iSCSI devices within these operating systems, and see how to utilize Power firmware menus to manage installation and booting from iSCSI devices. Our discussion will include configuring an IBM N Series storage server to act as an iSCSI storage appliance, and we will interact with a TCP/IP Offload Engine (TOE) adapter.
