VMware vsphere with Operations Management: Fast Track [V5.1]

Transcription

1 VMware vsphere with Operations Management: Fast Track [V5.1] Overview This intensive, extended-hours training course focuses on installing, configuring, and managing VMware vsphere 5 and effectively using VMware vcenter Operations Manager. This course combines the content of the VMware vsphere: Install, Configure, Manage course with the vcenter Operations Manager: Analyze and Predict course. This course explores installation, configuration, and management of vsphere, which consists of VMware ESXi and VMware vcenter Server. This course also teaches skills in the use of vcenter Operations Manager as a forensic and predictive tool. This course is based on ESXi 5.1, vcenter Server 5.1 and vcenter Operations Manager 5.x. Students who complete this course may enroll in any of several, more advanced vsphere courses. For advanced course options, go to Audience System administrators Systems engineers Operators responsible for ESXi and vcenter Server Статус: Код: Длительность: Стоимость: Актуальный VSOMFT51 5 дн. / 40 час руб. Result Install and configure ESXi Install and configure vcenter Server components Use vcenter Server to configure and manage ESXi networking and storage Deploy, manage, and migrate virtual machines

2 Manage user access to the VMware infrastructure Use vcenter Server to monitor resource use Use vcenter Server to increase scalability Use VMware vsphere Update Manager to apply ESXi patches Use vcenter Server to manage higher availability and data protection Understand major and minor badges and their underlying metrics Use these badges to find the root causes of common operational problems in a vsphere environment Perform capacity management and what-if analyses Use the Operations tab, the Planning tab, the Alerts tab, the Analysis tab, and the Reports tab Navigate the vcenter Operations Manager 5.0 user interface Use heat maps and create a custom heat map Use smart alerts to detect system problems Articulate the use case for the new policy structure in vcenter Operations Manager and how it can be used to define configuration settings for objects in a vsphere environment Work with groups to classify virtual objects in logical and business-related structures and how to apply them to policies Define new use cases based on the optimized integration with VMware vcenter Operations Management Suite products like VMware vcenter Configuration Manager, VMware vfabric Hyperic, VMware vcenter Infrastructure Navigator, and other adapters Outline 1.
