Objective

Using the history, hardware & software features, functions, and components of the DS8000 family determine the architecture of the DS8880 Distinguish those elements that contribute to virtualization and the DS8880 Carry out those steps needed to configure the DS8880, using the Data Storage Command Line Interface (DS CLI) Carry out those steps needed to configure the DS8880, using the data storage Graphical User Interface (GUI) Outline those benefits of host attachments that will enable higher throughput and lower response times when connecting a DS8880 to your z System Clarify the features of cache, performance identification, and TPC and their contributions to the physical and logical setup of the DS8880 Relate those functions of copy services, flash copy, and global mirroring to business continuity Summarize the features and functions of the DS8900FDistinguish the benefits of the three DS8900F models
