VMWARE VSPHERE INSTALL, CONFIGURE, MANAGE [V7]

Course Code: IT77

INTRODUCTION

This course is about Learn installing, configuring, and managing VMware vSphere 7.

This course features intensive hands-on training that focuses on installing, configuring, and managing VMware vSphere 7, which includes VMware ESXi 7 and VMware vCenter Server 7. This course prepares you to administer a vSphere infrastructure for an organization of any size.

This course is the foundation for most of the other VMware technologies in the software-defined data center.

Course Objective:

• Describe the software-defined data center (SDDC)
• Explain the vSphere components and their function in the infrastructure
• Install and configure VMware ESXi hosts
• Deploy and configure VMware vCenter Server Appliance
• Use VMware vSphere Client to manage the vCenter Server inventory and the vCenter Server configuration
• Manage, monitor, back up, and protect vCenter Server Appliance
• Create virtual networks with vSphere standard switches
• Describe the storage technologies supported by vSphere
• Configure virtual storage using iSCSI and NFS storage
• Create and manage VMware vSphere VMFS datastores
• Use the vSphere Client to create virtual machines, templates, clones, and snapshots
• Create a content library and deploy virtual machines from templates in the library
• Manage virtual machine resource use
• Migrate virtual machines with VMware vSphere vMotion and VMware vSphere Storage vMotion
• Create and manage a vSphere cluster that is enabled with VMware vSphere High Availability
• VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler
• Discuss solutions for managing the vSphere life cycle
• Use VMware vSphere Update Manager to apply patches and perform upgrades to ESXi hosts and virtual machines

 

Target Audience:

System administrators, systems engineers, technicians who are responsible for server virtualization will benefit from this course.
