1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,590 Hi there, and welcome to Pluralsight. Welcome to the module, 2 00:00:03,590 --> 00:00:06,240 Implement and Manage Storage Spaces Direct. 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,910 I'm Tim Warner. I have three learning objectives for you in this lesson. 4 00:00:11,910 --> 00:00:16,820 We're going to review how we used Storage Spaces Direct in the context of 5 00:00:16,820 --> 00:00:21,430 failover cluster creation, we'll understand upgrading Storage Spaces Direct 6 00:00:21,430 --> 00:00:25,460 nodes, and then, by the end of this module, we'll formally have configured 7 00:00:25,460 --> 00:00:30,560 both storage spaces on a singleton machine as well as Storage Spaces Direct 8 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,440 in a failover cluster. 9 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,550 We're wrapping up the course, implement and manage 10 00:00:34,550 --> 00:00:36,310 Windows server high availability, 11 00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:40,650 which is a collection of five modules, and this course is part of 12 00:00:40,650 --> 00:00:44,160 a series of courses that support exam AZ‑801. 13 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:48,520 This is part of the requirements of the Microsoft Windows Server 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,060 Hybrid Administrator Certification. And this course is almost 15 00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:55,160 entirely about failover clustering. 16 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,420 Let me roll out the modules one by one, and you can see four of the 17 00:00:59,420 --> 00:01:02,380 five deal with Windows Server Failover clustering, 18 00:01:02,380 --> 00:01:04,220 planning, deployment, 19 00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:08,300 configuration, maintenance. And we've worked with Storage 20 00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:10,940 Spaces Direct a fair amount actually, 21 00:01:10,940 --> 00:01:14,850 but we're wrapping up this module by circling back and 22 00:01:14,850 --> 00:01:18,340 looking at the storage subsystem of our failover cluster 23 00:01:18,340 --> 00:01:22,000 under a proverbial magnifying glass. Let's get to it.
