How can I prepare for netapp certification NS0-145 NetApp Certified Storage Associate. ??

1.  Take all the available (and free) web-based training

2.  Download and install the simulator and play with it.  Learn the CLI commands to do all the basic tasks of creating and maintaning aggregates/volumes/luns/exports/shares.

3.  Download and install System Manager (not sure if you'll need a valid support contract for this) and learn it.

4. Take the practice exam/practice questions.

You need NetApp Support account to get the simulator? I am an unemployed NCIE who wants to learn cluster mode and am unable to download the simulator.

JWalther -

Yes, you need a valid support account to download it.

I'd be happy to refer you to some recruiters with just your current NCIE.

Send me an email ...

Hi Eugene,

Thank you for replying back to me. I am discouraged on the lack of NetApp positions available especially in Southern California. I have seen a couple of positions looking for cluster experience. I also would like to extend my certifications. I have the older 7.4 simulator thats runs on Linux but not the 8.2.

Here are my current NetApp certifications:

NetApp ID: NETAPP00032348

NCIE-SAN - 11/14/2012

NCIE-B&R - 10/17/2012

NCDMA - 5/2/2011 - expired

Any suggestions on what I need to do to recertify etc would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff Walther
