Description

Discover how to automate administration of a NetApp® ONTAP® based storage system by using modern ONTAP REST APIs and Python. Explore how to use the Python client library (PCL) in your Python program to automate storage administration tasks. Also, learn how to configure your system for SMB, NFS, Simple Storage Service (S3), and SAN protocols by writing Python programs.

Learning Objectives

This course focuses on enabling you to do the following:

• Analyze ONTAP REST APIs and Python frameworks
• Illustrate how to use PCL calls from within your Python program to automate storage administration tasks
• Configure SMB, NFS, S3, and SAN protocols programmatically by using Python programs
• Identify the performance metrics of an ONTAP based system

Prerequisites

• You must have good Python programming experience
• We also highly recommend that you have attended the ONTAP Cluster AdministrationONTAP Cluster Administration (ONTAP9ADM)

Who Should Attend

Sales, customer success manager, solutions engineer (SE), architect, support engineer, implementation engineer, and professional services
