Virtualization Management Boot Camp
Training Intelligence Solutions’ "Virtualization Management Boot camp" covers all the components of VMware's new Virtual Infrastructure 3.5:
- ESX 3.5 server installation and configuration
- Explore the esx 3.5 Service Console, a RedHat Linux CLI with "esxcfg" custom commands integrated into the shell
- Perform advanced hardware management and security lockdown, and dive into the esx kernel's capabilities
- VM deployment and management
- Deploy a virtual datacenter, configure virtual internetworking, and perform optimization testing
- VMotion, Load Management & Resource Pools
- Migrate virtual machines manually & proactively, across different esx servers, without affecting service
- DRS / HA
- Configure multiple esx servers in "resource pools" and implement DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) to balance virtual machine load across esx hosts in a cluster
- Configure HA (High Availability), simulate the crash of an esx host, and recover from failure
- VC Backup
- Implement VMware's new VC Backup (Virtual Consolidated Backup) strategy, the latest solution to backing up large numbers of production virtual machines efficiently
- Hands-on intensive labs expose the student to the advanced capabilities of esx server, using both the "VIC (Virtual Infrastructure Client)" - a windows-based GUI installed on a workstation, and the "Service Console" - a Red-Hat Linux CLI. Prior exposure to Linux is a plus, but the skills necessary for the labs will be taught during the boot camp. The course is written to modern-day IT professionals, with a basic understanding of TCP/IP networking, Windows 2003 server management, and x86 hardware fundamentals, but assumes no previous experience in the field of virtualization.
TIS is combining two different week-long vmware courses into a single 5-day bootcamp, taking students from an introduction to virtualization, to comprehensive hand-on experience configuring and managing vmware's latest advanced networking features; we start with the GUI client interface and move down into the Linux CLI as well, for advanced troubleshooting techniques. And we've gathered up the latest 'Best Practices' for an implementation boot camp designed to catapult your expertise in the exploding field of virtualization.
Each student in the class will install and configure "vmware esx 3.5" on an individual Dell PowerEdge 1850 server, with dual Xeon 3.2 GHz processors, and 70GB of internal SCSI storage. Esx hosts will then be clustered, and configured to use an iSCSI shared storage array, for the VMFS datastore to support VMotion, HA, and DRS.
Module 1: ESX Server Installation and Configuration
Module 2: Storage Management
Module 3: Virtual Center installation and Configuration
Module 4: Virtual Machine Deployment
Module 5: Security
Module 6: Advanced Resource Management
Module 7: Backup Strategies
Module 8: Monitoring and Optimization
In order for a class to be successful, all students should share the same general level
of knowledge and experience. If a participant does not demonstrate these, the instructor will take
the necessary steps either to prepare the participant or place him/her in a more appropriate course.
This policy is intended to maintain the high level of quality control that you have come to expect.
