VMware ESX 5.0 Server Installation and Configuration
Explore VMware vCenter Server and vSphere Management Assistant Utilize vCenter Server inventory hierarchies
VM Deployment and Management
Deploy virtual machines via templates, VMware vCenter Converter and Guided Consolidation Deploy a virtual datacenter, configure virtual internetworking, and perform optimization testing Troubleshoot vNetwork components and storage-related issues
VMotion, Load Management & Resource Pools
Migrate virtual machines manually & proactively, across different ESX servers, without affecting service
Scalability
Configure multiple VMware ESX servers in "resource pools", implement Distributed Resource Scheduler and VMware Distributed Power Management to balance virtual machine load across ESX hosts in a cluster
Configure VMware High Availability and Fault Tolerance, simulate the crash of an ESX host, and recover from failure
VC Backup
Implement VMware's VC Backup (Virtual Consolidated Backup) strategy, the latest solution to backing up large numbers of production virtual machines efficiently
VC-VIP vSphere Certification test from virtualization council included
Implement VMware's VC Backup (Virtual Consolidated Backup) strategy, the latest solution to backing up large numbers of production virtual machines efficiently
Students are prepared for the VC-VIP vSphere test, and take the test at the end of the class;
The test has more credibility because a third-party vendor neutral council offers it;
VMware 5.0 Boot Camp Overview
Hands-on intensive labs expose the student to the advanced capabilities of ESX 5.0 server, using both the vSphere Management Assistant and vCenter Server. Prior exposure to Linux is a plus, but the skills necessary for the labs will be taught during the boot camp. The course is written to modern-day IT professionals, with a basic understanding of TCP/IP networking, Windows 2003 server management, and x86 hardware fundamentals, but assumes no previous experience in the field of virtualization.
Each VMware student will install and configure "VMware ESX 5.0" on an individual Dell PowerEdge 1850 server, with dual Xeon 3.2 GHz processors, and 70GB of internal SCSI storage. ESX hosts will then be clustered, and configured to use an iSCSI shared storage array, for the VMFS datastore to support VMotion, HA, and DRS.
