Bootcamps Information Technology VMware vSphere_invis

Virtualization administrators need to have the knowledge to correctly use the tools provided in vSphere 6.5. In this course, you'll discover the correct methods of installation of the core products, vCenter, and ESXi. You will also learn the configuration of storage, networking, virtual machines, and clusters of hosts providing load balancing and high availability. Over time, administrators need continual management tools to do more with less, which includes using performance data, reading logs, and using tools to keep the environment stable and consistent.

Objectives

Defining vSphere Storage Concepts

identify what storage needs are present in ESXi and vCenter Server
identify the correct terms to describe storage on an ESXi server
identify what forms of local storage are available for a vSphere environment
identify what forms of NAS and SAN storage are available for a vSphere environment

Configuring vSphere Storage

create a datastore on an attached disk
create a datastore on an NFS share
add a second ESXi host to an NFS datastore
add an ESXi software iSCSI adapter
connect ESXi to an existing iSCSI target LUN
create a datastore on an iSCSI disk
add a second ESXi host to an iSCSI datastore
create a vCenter library

Using vSphere Storage

navigate and transfer files with an ESXi datastore

Perform Virtual Machine Management

describe a VMware virtual machine both conceptually and in terms of file structure
describe VM hardware versions in VMware vSphere 6.5
add or remove VM hardware resources such as network interfaces, RAM, and CPUs
apply shares, limits, and reservations based on VM resource needs
work with virtual machine templates in VMware vSphere 6.5
create and manage virtual machine snapshots in VMware vSphere 6.5
manually migrate a VMware vSphere 6.5 virtual machine between hosts
use the vCenter Server vMotion tool to migrate VMs between hosts
use the vCenter Server storage vMotion tool to migrate VM files between datastores
use VMware Tools to manage virtual machines in VMware vSphere 6.5
use the controls in vCenter to power off, shut down, or suspend VMs running on an ESXi host
identify the purpose and implement VM Secure Boot
