Installing and Configuring VMware Infrastructure 3: Hands-On
Course: 171
Type: Hands-On Training
Duration: 4 Days
You Will Learn How To
- Deploy and configure a highly available virtual infrastructure with VMware Infrastructure 3 (VI3)
- Allocate networking and storage resources
- Create VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) and Network File System (NFS) datastores
- Install and configure VirtualCenter for a secure and efficient virtualized IT environment
- Secure the infrastructure to prevent unauthorized access
- Pool resources for virtual machines with VMotion and VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)
Course Benefits Virtualizing the infrastructure offers tremendous opportunity to reduce total cost of ownership and improve disaster recovery. However, implementing an optimal configuration requires a thorough knowledge of the technology along with practical experience. This course prepares you to manage a VMware Infrastructure 3 enterprise environment using the VirtualCenter Server and VMware ESX Server.Who Should Attend System administrators, data center infrastructure architects, systems engineers and operators as well as those interested in implementing ESX Server and/or VirtualCenter. Experience with system administration of Windows or Linux and networking knowledge is assumed.Hands-On Training Hands-on training exercises provide experience in designing and deploying a VMware virtual infrastructure and include:
- Designing and implementing virtual switch plans and policies
- Installing and configuring ESX and VirtualCenter Servers
- Creating and cloning Virtual Machines from the VI Client and Web management interfaces
- Moving a live VM using VMotion
