Deploying VMware® vSphere: Hands-On LT0171Epdf iconTrainingsinfos drucken Englisch

Zielgruppe

  • System administrators, datacentre infrastructure architects, systems engineers and operators as well as those interested in implementing ESXi 4.0 and/or vCentre Server 4.0.

Kursziel

  • Virtualising the infrastructure offers tremendous opportunity to reduce total cost of ownership and improve
  • disaster recovery. However, implementing an optimal configuration requires a thorough knowledge of the
  • technology along with practical experience. This course prepares you to manage a vSphere-based enterprise
  • environment using the vCentre Server 4.0 and ESXi 4.0 Server.
  • You Will Learn How To
    • Deploy and configure a highly available virtual infrastructure with VMware vSphere
    • Allocate networking and storage resources
    • Create VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) and Network File System (NFS) datastores
    • Install and configure vCentre Server 4.0 for a secure and efficient virtualised IT environment
    • Secure the infrastructure to prevent unauthorised access
    • Pool resources for virtual machines with VMotion and VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)

Voraussetzungen

  • Experience with system administration of Windows or Linux and networking knowledge is assumed. A basic familiarity with SAN storage is helpful.
