Explaining the Topology and the Training Environment

Accessing the lab environment

Installing and Configuring an ESXi Server

This Demo shows the following configuration tasks:

Adding an ESXi Host to an LDAP Server
Logging in to the ESXi Host as an LDAP User
Activating the SSH and vSphere ESXi Shell Services
Configuring the ESXi Host as an NTP Client

Lab Environment VS Production Environment- KO

Installing and Configuring the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA)

Lab Walk Through and a Comparison between the lab environment setup and a production environment setup

What's covered:

Defining the role of the VCSA in the Software Defined Datacenter
Defining the installation requirement for VCSA Tiny Deployment
Setting up a Network File System (NFS) shared datastore to store the VCSA
Completing phase one and phase two of the VCSA deployment process
Powering on and loggin in to the newly deployed VCSA Server.

Creating and Managing the vCenter Inventory

Lab Walk-through and a comparison between the Lab Environment setup and a Production Environment Setup

What's Covered:

What must be done before removing an ESXi host from a vCenter inventory
Creating inventory items such as virtual data centers, host folders, and virtual machine folders
Organizing hosts in folders and organizing VMs & VM Templates in folders
vSphere Licensing Options and Models

Configuring vSphere Networking

Creating a Virtual Standard Switch: Creating a standard virtual switch on a per-host level | Assigning a physical adapter to a virtual standard switch | Creating port groups | Relocating a virtual machine to a new port group.

Creating a Distributed Virtual Switch: Adding a DVS | Adding ESXi hosts to a DVS | Adding a port group to a DVS | Managing Uplinks

Configuring vSphere Storage

Accessing iSCSI Storage: Deleting iSCSI Configurations from an ESXi host | Configuring Networking for iSCSI storage network traffic: Setting up MKernel port groups; Standard switches; and Physical adapters | Adding iSCSI adapters and connecting to iSCSI targets | Discovering LUNs on an iSCSI Target Server.

Managing VMFS Datastores: VMFS over iSCSI LUNs VS. VMFS over DAS | Creating VMFS Shared Datastores on LUNS | Expanding a VMFS datastores | Extending a VMFS Datastore | Deleting a VMFS Datastor.

Accessing NFS Storage: NFS is NAS and NOT SAN. Configuring NFS services on a RHEL server and settings up shares. Accessing NFS shares from the vSphere Client; Authentication with Kerberos or SELinux Labels.
