Overview

In this two-day course, you focus on building skills in configuring and performing common administrator and end-user tasks with VMware vSAN 6.7. You gain practical experience with vSAN production operations through the completion of instructor-led activities and hands-on lab exercises.

Product Alignment

  •   ESXi 6.7
  •   vCenter Server 6.7

  vSAN 6.7

Audience

Main target audience for this training are:

  • Storage and virtual infrastructure administrators who are responsible for production support and administration of vSAN v6.x

Skills Gained

  • By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:
  •   Describe vSAN host operations
  •   Discuss vSAN networking requirements
  •   Define the tasks involved in hardware replacement in a vSAN cluster
  •   Perform vSAN cluster scale-out and scale-up operations
  •   Describe common vSAN maintenance operations
  •   Define the tasks required for updating and upgrading vSAN
  •   Describe vSAN security operations
  •   Configure a key management server (KMS) cluster
  •   Configure vSAN storage policies and observe the effects of a cluster-wide change
  •   Explain vSAN resilience and availability features
  •   Perform ongoing vSAN management tasks
  •   Use the vSAN health service to monitor health and performance

Prerequisites

  • This course has the following prerequisites:
  •   Understanding of concepts presented in the VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.x] course

  Storage administration experience with block or file storage devices

Completion of the VMware vSAN: Deploy and Manage [v6.x] course (VMVSAN) or equivalent experience with vSAN is desirable.

  • The course presumes that a student can perform the following tasks with no assistance or guidance before enrolling:
  •   Use VMware vSphere Web Client
  •   Create and manage VMware vCenter Server objects, such as data centers, clusters, hosts, and virtual machines
  •   Create and modify a standard switch
  •   Connect a VMware ESXi host to NAS, iSCSI, or Fibre Channel storage
  •   Create a VMware vSphere VMFS datastore
  •   Use a wizard or a template to create a virtual machine
  •   Migrate a virtual machine with VMware vSphere vMotion

  Migrate a virtual machine with VMware vSphere Storage vMotion

If you cannot complete all of these tasks, VMware recommends that you complete the VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.x] (VSICM) and VMware vSAN: Deploy and Manage [V6.x] (VMVSAN) courses before enrolling in VMware vSAN: Production Operations (VMVSANPO).

Thinking about Onsite?

If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.

Submit an enquiry from any page on this site, and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
