Learning Objectives

Create an implementation task list to integrate the SVC solution into the storage network fabric
Establish or update zoning policies to enable the SVC to control storage device access and facilitate storage provisioning to host servers
Utilize SVC user interfaces to manage the networked storage environment, assign storage to servers, migrate data, replicate data across storage systems, and monitor storage access activities
Assess issues related to coexistence between the SVC and native disk storage access across host servers
Migrate existing data to the virtualized SVC environment
Implement SVC storage efficiency solutions including Easy Tier, Thin Provisioning, Volume Mirroring, and Real-time Compression
Implement data replication services including FlashCopy and Remote Copy
