Course Description
About this Course
This 34.5 hr course is the longest, most information packed and most complete VMware vSphere 6.7 course you will find on Udemy.
Do you already have basic VMware vSphere / virtualization knowledge and experience and want to take your skills to the next level? Maybe your goal is to skill up so you can pass VCP-DCV or VCAP certification exams, get that promotion or earn a senior position as a VMware vSphere 6.7 administrator?
If so, this 100% downloadable course is for you! Want to be sure? Every chapter in my course has at least one free preview lecture and a 30-day, no questions asked, money back guarantee.
I originally developed the content in this course for 5-day Instructor Led training classes - the kind of class that can cost $4,200+USD/seat at major training companies. But now, it is here on Udemy - so you can get the same high quality training for a lot less.
Don't settle for VMware video training that is just a few hours of recorded PowerPoint slides. In this mega-course, I include both lecture and hands-on lab demo videos. In the lecture material, I explain concepts, provide an overview of using vSphere 6.7 and include best practices and design and troubleshooting tips, etc. In the hands-on lab demos, I log into one of our live vSphere rental labs and show you exactly how to get the job done, step-by-step.
This course now includes a free 231pg sample PDF ebook with the presentation and lab chapters for the first 4 lectures and labs of this course.
Please note that this course does not provide access to live labs but does include video demonstrations of how to complete tasks using vSphere 6.7.
What I Cover In This Course
In this course, I explain step-by-step how to upgrade or migrate from vCenter for Windows or vCenter Appliance to vCenter Server Appliance 6.7 and how to use VMware Update Manager to upgrade ESXi hosts and how to upgrade Virtual Machine virtual hardware and VMware Tools. I also cover advanced topics such as Fibre/iSCSI shared storage, Raw Device Maps, working with VMFS 6 Filesystems, Storage Profiles, Storage DRS Clusters, High Availability Clusters, Fault Tolerance and Distributed Virtual Switches.
I'll show you how to diagnose, isolate and fix common problems. We will use Host Client, Web Client, HTML 5 Client and command line tools to explore, configure, update, investigate and zero in on performance bottlenecks and trouble spots. Up to 45% of class time is devoted to labs so concepts, skills and best practices are developed and reinforced.
By the end of the class, attendees will have learned practical, actionable skills in vSphere design, implementation, upgrading, sizing, scaleability, performance optimization and troubleshooting.

Get High Quality VMware vSphere 8.0, 7.0 and 6.7 training right here... on Udemy!
Q: What do you do if you need to learn VMware vSphere introductory or advanced skills - but can't afford the crazy $4,200 price of VMware vSphere Install, Configure, Manage [v8] or the even more outrageous $6,400 for VMware vSphere Fast Track [v8] training courses?
A: Enroll in one or more of my VMware vSphere courses here on Udemy!
I have created introductory and advanced vSphere 8.0, 7.0 and 6.7 learning tracks that, combined, offer over 100+ hours of VMware vSphere lectures and hands-on lab demos.
My vSphere 8.0, 7.0 and 6.7 courses provide you with training comparable to what you would get from official VMware 5-day training courses like VMware vSphere Install, Configure, Manage [v8.0] , VMware vSphere Fast Track [v8.0] or VMware vSphere Optimize and Scale [v6.7] at a fraction of the cost.
Here on Udemy, I can provide more insight and detail, without the time constraints of a normal instructor led training class. My goal is to give you a better training experience - for much less.
How Will ESXLab vSphere Training Benefit Me?
I get lots feedback from people who tell me the benefits they have received from my courses::
