NAS: SGI InfiniteStorage NEXIS System Administration Workshop
This workshop is designed to provide the system support engineer (SSE) with the knowledge and skills necessary to install, configure, maintain, diagnose, and repair data failures associated with the SGI's InfiniteStorage NEXIS product line which is a hi-performance Network Attached Storage System (NAS). NEXIS provides a universal data access point by connecting a high-performance storage system to an Ethernet network using NFS, CIFS, SAMBA, or FTP protocols to serve clients (UNIX, Windows, Apple, etc.) in a heterogeneous environment. Network Load Balancing software maximizes performance across multiple Ethernet connections on the Data Manager(s). NEXIS Data Managers (Linux servers) can be set-up in a clustered configuration to maintain high reliability and availability. NEXIS scalability is achieved by adding additional disks to an existing storage system or by connecting additional storage systems together through a storage area network (SAN). At workshop completion, the student will be able to install, configure, and maintain SGI supported NEXIS configurations by using the Appliance Manager and storage utilities such as SMWEGUI and SMEEGUI.
