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 migrate source Windows and Linux workloads (installed operating systems on physical or virtual machines) to VMware vSphere infrastructure (ESXi hosts managed by vCenter Server) using VMware vCenter Converter.

P2V and V2V Migrations with vCenter Converter

This course covers one topic that all vSphere 6 vCenter administrators must know:

  • One of the primary reasons for adding VMware vSphere virtualization to your IT infrastructure is to reduce capital costs. You do this by running many Virtual Machines on a small number of physical machines by running ESXi (and managed by vCenter). But, how do you get your existing Windows and Linux servers migrated over to your new vSphere environment? The answer is VMware vCenter Converter.
  • vCenter Converter can reach out to source Physical Machines (Windows or Linux installed on a PC Server) and clone-and-migrate the entire hardware state (CPU, Memory, Disk, Networking) to a new Virtual machine. This is called a P2V (physical to virtual) migration.
  • vCenter Converter can also reach out to source Virtual Machines (Windows or Linux running in a virtual machine) and clone-and-migrate the entire hardware state (CPU, Memory, Disk, Networking) to a new Virtual machine. This is called V2V (virtual to virtual) migration. Converter can migrate most virtual machine sources including VMs running on Hyper-V, VirtualBox, Parallels, VMware Player/Fusion/Workstation, etc.
  • You will learn how to install and configure vCenter Converter, how to reach out to a source machine and profile it, to locate and size a target VM to hold the converted source machine, to monitor the conversion process and what to watch out for as you conduct conversions. You will also learn VMware Converter Best Practices to help ensure a successful conversion - every time!

The skills you will acquire in this course will help you complete your server consolidation project and make you a more effective vSphere 6 administrator.

Added Bonus! This course is 100% downloadable. Take it with you and learn on your schedule.

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::

This is Part 6 and so far they have all fed into each other very well. The content is easy to follow and very informative.

By Nik Margulski on 7/25/2019

I have used this so many times this was really just a review for me. Some of the tips are really good in this section.

By Howard Tempro on 5/17/2019

This instructor is great. very detailed. I appreciate the option to download these lectures since many other courses do not allow it -- in a busy life, it is much more productive to be able to view these while on the run with no wifi or internet, commuting, and so forth. Thank you for helping make this a full on practical experience

By Anthony Robinson on 1/22/2019

The course was good for introductory to P2V migrations. I would like to see a more thorough P2V migration shown in the course.
