My NCIE-SAN expired a while back (but my NCDA is active), and I have some time, so time to study for the NS0-520.
Below I present some official practices tests and answers (maybe a little explanation too.) But first some notes.
NSO-520: NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer - SAN Specialist, ONTAP
The official certification page is via this link:
Under the Section "Prepare for your exam" there are some "Recommended Training and Resources." Personally, I would change the order of those to:
- Practice Test for NS0-520
- View Exam Topics
- ONTAP SAN Fundamentals (WBT)
- SAN Administration (ILT)
- SAN Implementation (ILT)
- Register for NS0-520
Everyone is busy, so best to try the practice test first. If you know enough you can go straight to the exam. Otherwise view the exam topics and study as required.
