Course details

If you are enrolling in a Self Paced Virtual Classroom or Web Based Training course, before you enroll, pleasereview the Self-Paced Virtual Classes and Web-Based Training Classes on our Terms and Conditions page,as well as the system requirements, to ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for thiscourse.The IBM PureFlex System is a new category of computing that integrates multiple server architectures,networking, chassis, storage, and system management capability into a single system that is easy to deployand manage.This fundamentals and implementation services class covers IBM Pure-Systems, IBM PureFlex Systems, thenew IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis along with the IBM X-Architecture and IBM Power Systemscompute nodes, systems management, networking, and the external storage device - IBM Storwize V7000.Implementation guidelines build on this to understand what services are performed; quick start configurationsfor the Chassis Management module as well as the Flex System Manager. Configuration steps related toStorwize V7000, typical Ethernet settings and how to create and manage a Power Systems virtual server arediscussed. Last you will recognize the features of the VMControl component and install and implementVMware vSphere 5.0.Hands-on lab exercises reinforce some of the steps outlined in the foundation services for IBM PureFlexExpress and IBM PureFlex Standard product offerings.
