Learn how to configure the basic technologies of the NetApp Data ONTAP operating systemclustered Data ONTAP and Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode. Through lectures and hands-on exercises, learn how to create aggregates, storage virtual machines (SVMs), virtual interfaces (VIFs), FlexVol volumes, qtrees, Snapshot copies, and more. NOTE: The term storage virtual machine (SVM) is equivalent to the term virtual server (Vserver).
