IBM ESCC IBM Spectrum Scale Administration and Problem Determination Hands-on Workshop

Objective
You first learn about the basic IBM Spectrum Scale architectures and concepts and then design, install, and configure your own IBM Spectrum Scale cluster.
In the next modules, we introduce important configuration parameters, monitoring tasks and operational procedures and you apply this knowledge during further hands-on sessions. With this knowledge and experience, you are prepared to perform problem determination.
After understanding basic steps, important tools, and log files for problem determination, you isolate, analyze, and repair problems ingested into your clusters. The problems ingested to your cluster include common sources for trouble in IBM Spectrum Scale such as network, storage, and configuration issues.
At the end of the workshop, you understand the IBM Spectrum Scale architectures and concepts and you are able to design and build your own resilient clusters. You can also use IBM Spectrum Scale commands, tools, and log files to identify and correct problems in your cluster.

This workshop is based on software defined infrastructure including virtual machines and Linux® and IBM Spectrum Scale software.
