Course lead

Sora Yamane

Lab engineer who builds storage sandboxes with realistic constraints.

Description

Storage incidents are often slow-burn until they are emergencies. This lab teaches you to read space reports, understand SMS constructs, and coordinate with storage admins using precise language. Exercises include synthetic space pressure, migration rehearsal, and documentation habits that help external reviewers trace decisions.

What is included

  • SMS policy lab with reversible changes
  • Space pressure simulation with timed responses
  • Vocabulary cheat sheet for admin handoffs
  • Checklist for validating volume additions after hardware work
  • Incident record template for space-related outages

Outcomes

  1. Predict a space exhaustion scenario before monitoring alarms fire.
  2. Request storage changes with complete allocation context.
  3. Document storage actions in the activity log with audit-friendly detail.

Participant questions

We touch tape handoffs conceptually but hands-on work focuses on DASD and SMS constructs.

Experience notes

“The space pressure drill felt like our March incident, minus the panic. Handoff vocabulary sheet is laminated on our wall.”
