Schedule for this course

This seminar has just been revised to focus on engineers who use Fibre Channel in the storage industry and to provide them with the core knowledge they need. The course now includes much more detailed information on FC-AL (Arbitrated Loop) and on using SCSI to control storage devices in this environment. Practical information is also presented on how to make disk and tape devices operate in a Fibre Channel environment. As is usual for KnowledgeTek seminars, frequent use is made of real-world scenarios and test results. Whether you're a designer, programmer, manager, or test engineer, you'll find this course gives you the solid understanding you need to join the Fibre Channel community.
