Unified File Storage
VSP One File converges file and block storage on a single platform, reducing data centre footprint and simplifying management while serving NFS, SMB, and SAN workloads simultaneously.
Build expert-level knowledge of Hitachi VSP One File — from system models, hardware and software architecture, single-node and cluster installation, Ethernet and Fibre Channel networking, HDP pool-based file systems, access protocols, cluster failover, to GUI/CLI management, firmware upgrades, and parts-replacement procedures.
HQT-4230 focuses on the installation and maintenance of Hitachi VSP One File — the converged file and block storage platform. The learning path covers system models and management network, hardware and software architecture, license management, single-node and cluster installation (with embedded SMU), Ethernet and Fibre Channel network configuration, HDP pool-based file systems, NFS/SMB access protocols, cluster failover and CNS, and complete maintenance workflows including GUI/CLI tools, firmware upgrades, Remote Ops Agent integration, and parts replacement.
The result is a complete VSP One File skill set: from pre-installation planning through to a fully functioning, high-availability NAS cluster delivering secure file services to Windows and Unix clients.
The capabilities covered in this syllabus — unified file storage, high-availability clustering, SAN-attached NAS, and protocol-level security — are central to modern enterprise file infrastructure requirements.
VSP One File converges file and block storage on a single platform, reducing data centre footprint and simplifying management while serving NFS, SMB, and SAN workloads simultaneously.
Cluster failover, Cluster Name Space (CNS), and embedded SMU capabilities ensure continuous file service availability during planned maintenance and unplanned node failures.
Fibre Channel port configuration and HDP pool integration allow VSP One File to consume enterprise block storage from VSP arrays, delivering scalable, tiered NAS capacity.
Link aggregation, VLAN awareness, and protocol-level security for Windows and Unix clients enable VSP One File deployments to meet enterprise network security and access control requirements.
