Best TRs for storage admins

flaak — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 06:49:16 GMT

Hi all,

I wanted to reach out to the community and see if anyone had some good reading material for new storage admins? I have the NetApp Cookbook as well as the Storage Admin Guide but I wanted to see if there was anything else that anyone would suggest. Any suggestions are encouraged. The material does not have to be NetApp specific. Anything that can help me learn is always welcomed. I am currently an onsite storage admin for a web hosting company and I want to ensure that my knowledge is useful to the customer.

Thank you very much!
