Unified File Access
NFS and SMB/CIFS multi-protocol support through EVS enables a single Hitachi NAS system to serve both Unix/Linux and Windows clients, simplifying storage consolidation and reducing per-protocol silo costs.
Build expert-level NAS administration skills for the Hitachi NAS Platform — covering system overview, EVS configuration, clustering with CNS and read cache, link aggregation, VLAN tagging, tiered storage pools, deduplication, file systems, virtual volumes, quotas, NFS/SMB access protocols, snapshots, cloning, object and file replication, and NAS data migration.
HQT-6200 is a comprehensive Hitachi NAS Platform administration course. Beginning with system hardware, cabling, and management interfaces, the learning path progresses through EVS configuration, cluster architecture (CNS, read cache, failover), Ethernet link aggregation and VLAN tagging, tiered storage pool management, file system creation with deduplication and snapshots, virtual volumes and quotas, NFS/SMB access protocols, snapshot cloning, object and file replication, and NAS data migration planning and execution.
This breadth makes HQT-6200 the definitive Hitachi NAS Administration certification — covering every operational domain an enterprise NAS administrator encounters in managing Hitachi NAS environments that serve Windows and Unix clients.
File storage administration competencies for high-availability NAS, multi-protocol access, data efficiency, and seamless migration remain core requirements for every enterprise storage team.
NFS and SMB/CIFS multi-protocol support through EVS enables a single Hitachi NAS system to serve both Unix/Linux and Windows clients, simplifying storage consolidation and reducing per-protocol silo costs.
CNS, cluster read cache, and automated failover ensure continuous file service availability during both planned maintenance windows and unplanned cluster node failures in enterprise environments.
Tiered storage pools, deduplication, virtual volumes, and quotas allow NAS administrators to optimise capacity utilisation and enforce per-user or per-project storage governance policies.
Object replication, file replication, and structured data migration capabilities enable Hitachi NAS environments to participate in hybrid cloud strategies and support NAS consolidation and refresh projects.
Describe the Hitachi NAS Platform architecture, hardware components, cabling, and administration interfaces including CLI and GUI tools.
Configure EVS, perform initial NAS setup, and administer file system operations using Hitachi NAS management tools.
Configure and manage Hitachi NAS clustering, including CNS, cluster read cache, and cluster failover procedures for high-availability file service delivery.
Configure link aggregation and VLAN tagging on Hitachi NAS network interfaces, applying best practices for performance and availability.
Manage tiered storage pools, configure file systems with deduplication and snapshot settings, and administer virtual volumes, quotas, and EVS security.
Configure NFS and SMB access protocols, manage snapshots and cloning, implement object and file replication, and plan and execute NAS data migration tasks.
