Introduction

Training course introducion / brief

This training course is designed to provide participants with the essential knowledge on installing, configuring, and managing VMware vSphere 8, which includes VMware ESXi 8 and VMware vCenter 8. This course prepares you to administer a vSphere infrastructure for an organization of any size. This course is the foundation for most VMware technologies in the software-defined data center.

Product Alignment

• VMware ESXi 8.0

• VMware vCenter 8.0

At the end of the training course, participants will be able to:

•Gain a comprehensive understanding of the process involved in installing, configuring and managing VMware V8.0.

•Install and configure ESXi hosts

•Deploy and configure vCenter

•Utilize the vSphere Client to create the vCenter inventory and assign roles to vCenter users

•Develop virtual networks using vSphere standard switches and distributed switches

•Create and configure datastores using storage technologies supported by vSphere

•Use the vSphere Client™ to create virtual machines, templates, clones, and snapshots

•Create content libraries for managing templates and deploying virtual machines

•Manage virtual machine resource allocation

•Migrate virtual machines with VMware vSphere, vMotion and VMware vSphere, Storage vMotion.

•Create and configure a vSphere cluster that is enabled with VMware vSphere® High Availability and VMware vSphere® Distributed Resource Scheduler

•Manage the life cycle of vSphere to keep vCenter, ESXi hosts, and virtual machines up to date
