Having expertise on virtualisation, Citrix and storage is a
great combination. It’s good to know as many storage technologies as possible
but we can’t be expert in everything. In this article, I would like to write
Hands-on lab options to self-learn NetApp technology.
To use this feature, you should be either employee or partner
of the NetApp. During the registration, you need to provide your company email ID,
it doesn’t access free email address like yahoo or Gmail. If you are partner,
you need to enter your Partner contact person name in NetApp to finish registration.
For NetApp lab on-demand access and registration information,
please visit http://labondemand.netapp.com
Option 2: NetApp Simulator
Download NetApp Simulator and practice. Again, to download
NetApp simulator, you need to have an employee or Partner account. If you are not
a NetApp employee or partner, try option 3.
Download NetApp Simulator and instruction from here.
Option 3: NetApp
ONTAP Edge Evaluation
This is basically developed to fulfil modest branch office shared
storage requirements but you can use evaluation version to familiarise yourself
with NetApp ONTAP operating system. You need to import Edge appliance on VMware
vSphere host.
I believe this is the only free option for non-partners to get
access to ONTAP operating system practice.
Download NetApp ONTAP Edge and instructions from here
