Description

In this intermediate Cisco skills training, Jeff Kish covers the basic operability and terminology of Cisco Unified Computing Systems (UCS).

Cisco UCS allows you to easily shift loads, perform hardware maintenance, and effortlessly scale all your resources from a single point of management — as long as you know what you’re doing. Though this UCS Essentials skills training maps to a CCNP exam, Jeff breaks down the topics so anyone can get a basic rundown on UCS deployment and maintenance or just see why UCS is a popular choice.

More details

Once you're done with this Cisco UCS Essentials training, you'll know how to configure UCS for RBAC, install a hypervisor using virtual media, upgrade a UCS environment by selecting and downloading the appropriate firmware, and schedule a maintenance window for an upgrade.

For IT managers, this Cisco training can be used for UCS prep, on-boarding new network administrators, as a Cisco reference resource, or curated into individual or team training plans.

Cisco UCS Essentials: What You Need to Know

This UCS essentials course covers topics including:

Fundamental and advanced networking elements of UCS environments
Components of Fibre Channel (FC), such as fabrics, zoning, and port types
Backup types of UCS, including logical, all, system, and full state
Maintenance windows for UCS upgrades
Components of UCS multitenancy, including organizations and locales
UCS storage networking, such as VSAN, DAS, unified ports, NPIV, NPV, and FLOGI

Who Should Take Cisco UCS Essentials Training?
