My Work in Progress: Netapp 8.3 NCDA NS0-157 Study Guide

[storagejarett]

I have had many requests to make a new study guide for the new cDot 8.3 exams.  The first I have decided to create is for the NS0-157 NCDA.   I will be working on this over the next few months as time allows, and also updating my NCIE-SAN cDot Study Guide.

This is the permalink to the main page, which I will then link off of to create individual guides per section.

Top critical sections lots of customers ask me about,:

* Data protection:  DP, XDP, TMP, LS whats it all mean?  

* Data protection: Version independant snapmirrors. (XDP)

* Failover Groups > Broadcast domains, subnets and all that ipspace stuff.

What topics would you all like to see added in the first round?  What's most confusing to all of you?

Jarrett--

Thanks for taking the time to compile this.  I'm planning on taking this test in the next week.   I've actually printed out your study guide and downloaded all of the related documents.  It's awesome!  Thanks!

Do you know if the NS0-157 is a lot different content/format wise than the NS0-156?    I've been able to find way more additional study material and flash cards for NS0-156.

Thanks!

Becky

Hi Jarret,

              I'd like to know better about Export policies and rules as well if it's possible. I'm reading your compilation and it's really good!

              Thanks for taking the time to do it!

I must be missing something. When I go to the permalink I find just a summary of subjects I should know. It almost seems like the page is cut off. Is there more there that I can't see? If so, how do I get to the rest of it?
