VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage
Course Overview
This five-day course features intensive hands-on training that focuses on installing, configuring, and
managing VMware vSphere® 6.7, which includes VMware ESXi™ 6.7 and VMware vCenter Server®
6.7. This course prepares you to administer a vSphere infrastructure for an organization of any size.

This course is the foundation for most of the other VMware technologies in the software-defined data
center.

Course Objectives
By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:
? Describe the software-defined data center
? Explain the vSphere components and their function in the infrastructure
? Add ESXi hosts to a VMware vCenter® Server Appliance™ instance
? Manage vCenter Server Appliance
-
? Use a local content library as an ISO store, and deploy a virtual machine
? Describe vCenter Server architecture
? Use vCenter Server to manage an ESXi host
? Configure and manage vSphere infrastructure with VMware Host Client™ and VMware vSphere®
Client™
? Describe virtual networks with vSphere standard switches
? Configure standard switch policies
? Use vCenter Server to manage various types of host storage: VMware vSphere® VMFS, NFS,
iSCSI, and RDM
? Examine the features and functions of Fibre Channel and VMware vSAN™
? Manage virtual machines, templates, clones, and snapshots
? Migrate virtual machines with VMware vSphere® vMotion®
? Migrate virtual machine storage with VMware vSphere® Storage vMotion®
? Monitor resource usage, and manage resource pools
? Discuss the VMware vSphere® High Availability (vSphere HA) cluster architecture
? Configure vSphere HA
? Manage vSphere HA and VMware vSphere® Fault Tolerance
