Course Description

VMware vSphere 6.
0 is the platform businesses depend on to deploy,

manage and run their virtualized Windows and Linux workloads.

In this course

you will learn how to connect to and use shared SAN Storage including Fibre and iSCSI storage, to Format and Expand VMFS volumes, how to Resource Tune Virtual Machines, how to create and tune Resource Pools, and how to perform cold, VMotion and Storage VMotion migrations.

Learn Storage, VMFS, Resource Management and VM Migrations

This course covers four major topics that all vSphere 6 vCenter administrators must know:

First, we look at shared Fibre and iSCSI shared storage. We start with an overview of features and capabilities of suitable SANs. We move on to discuss storage network design for redundancy and performance, SAN security with Zoning and Authentication, iSCSI hardware and Software initiators, how to scan and review SAN LUNs and various Storage views. We complete the section with a presentation of NFS v4.
1 file shares (new to vSphere 6.).
Next we look at VMware's cluster file system - VMFS. We learn how to create VMFS partitions and their properties. We look at basic capacity management (and what can go wrong) and offer two strategies for managing VMFS capacity. We go on to talk about Path Selection Policies (PSPs) and explain the trade offs of VMware's three provided PSPs. We show you how to select the optimal PSP based on your storage network design and your SAN's capabilities.
We move on to discuss Resource Management and Resource Pools. Effectively managing CPU and Memory is critical to host and VM scalability. VMware provides three tunables - Reservations, Shares and Limits, to help you delegate resources as you require. We show you how to assess resource needs and how to create/use Resource Pools. Finally, we explain Expandable Reservations and show you how to use them safely.
Finally, we look at VM migrations. VMware supports cold (powered off) migrations to a new ESXi host or datastore. Next we look at VMotion hot VM migration - where we hot move a running VM to a second ESXi host. We look at CPU compatibility requirements and show you how to tell if your physical host CPUs are VMotion compatible. Finally, you will learn how to perform Storage VMotion (hot move a VM from one datastore to another) and the Use Cases for Storage VMotion.

The skills you will acquire in this course will help make you a more effective vSphere 6 administrator.
Added Bonus! This course is 100% downloadable. Take it with you and learn on your schedule.

Who this course is for:
This course is intended for vCenter administrators who want to improve their understanding of Virtual Hardware, want to consistently and rapidly deploy virtual machines, who need to effectively manage VM and ESXi host resources and who want to connect to shared storage.

Get VMware vSphere 6.7, 6.5 and 6.0 training here... on Udemy!

Q: What do you do if you need to learn VMware vSphere introductory or advanced skills - but can't afford the $4,300+ needed to attend official VMware training?
A:Enroll in my VMware vSphere training here on Udemy!

I have created introductory and advanced vSphere 6.7, 6.5 and 6.0 learning tracks that, combined, offer over 100+ hours of VMware vSphere lectures and hands-on lab demos.
My vSphere 6.7, 6.5 and 6.0 courses provide you with training comparable to what you would get from official VMware 5-day training courses like VMware vSphere 6.7 Install, Configure, Manage or VMware vSphere 6.7 Optimize and Scale, but at just 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 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::
- Help prepare for VMware Certified Professional (VCP) or VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) certification
- Help fill in knowledge gaps on software they already have and use
- Learn about new features and capabilities of vSphere 6.7 or 6.5
- Learn how to use vSphere Web Client and HTML

Thanks for all the information

By Niranjan Hettiwatte on 11/22/2019

I would like to see more dynamic hands on presentations from the instructor not describing a static slide. This would have been much better if the instructor showed what he was explaining by logging into a live system and showing it.
