This free online course on the virtualization and deployment of VMware vSphere 6.0 will give you a comprehensive guide on the methodology of VMware and the key features of this version of vSphere. You will learn all about the two types of the hypervisor and their functions in a virtual machine as well as how to install the vSphere hypervisor (otherwise known as the ESXi), and the fundamental differences between the Windows and Linux commands.
What You Will Learn In This Free Course
Introduction and Virtualization Overview
In this module, you will be introduced to the course methodology along with the expert tips that will aid your assimilation of the entire course. You will learn about the software-defined data centre (SDDC), how it simplifies your data management, and the two types of hypervisors referred to as ESXi hosts in VMware.
Planning and Installing ESXi
In this module, you will be introduced to the minimum physical hardware requirements for the installation of the ESXi. You will learn the factors that can affect the design and configuration of an ESXi environment, and how to locally configure the ESXi 6.0 using the direct console user interface (DUCI).
Using Tools to Administer a VMware Environment
In this module, you will be introduced to the various tools available to administer a VMware environment. You will learn about the Windows-based Secured Copy program (WinSCP), the function of the vSphere command-line interface (vCLI) in ESXi management, and the log files available when troubleshooting for the vSphere client.
vCenter Server 6.0 Licensing and Installation
In this module, you will be introduced to how vCenter server 6.0 licensing is done. You will learn about the vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS), how to create the vDS, managing scheduled tasks in the vCenter Server, and how to clear the vCenter server service (vpxd) errors.
Configuring Networking in VMware
In this module, you will be introduced to the definition of some networking terms. You will learn about the Standard Virtual Switches (vSS) serving as a conduit between networks, the functions of vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) in VMware, and the different 3rd party distributed switches in VMware.
Configuring Storage in VMware
In this module, you will be introduced to the different ways of configuring storage in VMware. You will learn about the difference between the Storage Area Network (SAN) and Network Attached Storage (NAS) in vSphere, how to do multipathing with fibre channel, and the characteristics of the vSphere virtual volumes (VVols).
