Course Overview

This course introduces participants to the methodology for analyzing performance of Symmetrix VMAX 1/2 arrays. Participants will learn to analyze Symmetrix VMAX performance using ControlCenter Performance Manager and Symmetrix Performance Analyzer tools. Metrics that are relevant for analysis of each of the components in a Symmetrix VMAX 1/2 array are presented. Participants will learn to identify bottlenecks for performance and provide recommendations to remedy the problem. Hands-on lab exercises using performance archives reinforce the concepts and methodology presented in the lecture.

The content of this course are designed to support the course objectives. The following focus areas are included in this course: ?
Module 1: Performance Management Overview

Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:

• Relate knowledge of the Symmetrix architecture and I/O handling processes to their performance benefits

• Identify the performance impact different types of workloads have on Symmetrix VMAX 1/2 architectural components

• Use key metrics to identify performance bottlenecks and components over utilization

• Make performance-oriented recommendations when allocating new storage or migrating applications

To understand the content and successfully complete this course, a student must have a suitable knowledgebase/skill set. The student must have an understanding of basic Symmetrix DMX and VMAX 1/2 architecture and the use of ControlCenter Performance Manager. Some experience with Symmetrix Performance Analyzer will be helpful.
A list of specific prerequisite courses can be found in EMC Education Services Learning Management System.

This course is intended for anyone responsible for operating, maintaining, and optimizing the performance of a Symmetrix storage environment.
