Course Overview
This content pack provides information and skills related to HPE Synergy implementation, configuration, administration, and management. The content pack starts with an overview of the infrastructure, compute, storage and fabric options to help those specifying a composable solution. From there, the curriculum provides a baseline understanding for system administrators setting up and configuring the infrastructure, and then introduces the HPE OneView appliance. The later courses in the content pack provide the skills to manage the solution through common tasks.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to:
• Explain the concept of composable infrastructure, including its technologies, components and benefits
• Explore the functional architecture of the HPE Synergy environment, including management infrastructure (HPE Synergy Composer, HPE Synergy Image Streamer, Frame Link Modules), compute modules, interconnect modules, local storage systems, power and cooling
• Identify, correctly position and cable the management and networking modules in a HPE Synergy frame
• Understand how to access the HPE OneView management appliance to initiate the hardware discovery; perform initial tasks to set-up hardware including the Composer and Image Streamer
• Navigate the HPE OneView dashboard, locate current information on firmware and server inventory, and generate basic reports; perform firmware updates using the integrated Smart Update Tool
• Have the knowledge to install the HPE OneView appliance to manage and maintain firmware, implement compute and networking configurations, monitor the data center, and respond to issues
Pre-Requisite
HPE recommends that students starting this content pack have basic server, storage and networking industry experience.
Who Should Attend
This content pack is for system administrators, engineers and consultants who install, manage, and monitor HPE Synergy solutions. It is relevant to HPE ProLiant and HPE BladeSystem customers planning a move to composable infrastructure.
