This three-day, instructor-led course uses lecture and hands-on exercises to teach the basic administration tasks of an ONTAP 9.7 cluster. You use the cluster shell and ONTAP System Manager to manage storage and network resources. ONTAP Cluster Administration is an intermediate course in a comprehensive learning path for NetApp customers, partners, and employees. This course is generally taught with the two-day ONTAP Data Protection course.
