Goals

This intensive, extended-hours training course focuses on installing, configuring, and managing VMware vSphere® 7.
This course combines the content of the VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage course with advanced tasks and skills for configuring a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. The course is based on VMware ESXi™ 6.7 and VMware vCenter Server™ 6.7. Completion of this course satisfies the prerequisite for taking the VMware® Certified Professional 6 exam.

Students who complete this course may enroll in any of several more advanced vSphere courses.

  • Configure and manage ESXi networking and storage
  • Create, configure, migrate, manage, and monitor virtual machines and virtual appliances
  • Use VMware vCenter Converter™ Standalone
  • Manage user access to the VMware virtual infrastructure
  • Use vCenter Server to monitor resource usage
  • Implement VMware vSphere High Availability and VMware vSphere® Fault Tolerance
  • Use Host Profiles to manage ESXi configuration compliance
  • Use vSphere distributed switches to scale networking
  • Use profile-driven storage and Storage DRS to scale storage
  • Use VMware vCenter™ Update Manager to apply ESXi patches
  • Use VMware vSphere® Management Assistant to manage vSphere
  • Deploy ESXi, vCenter Server, and vCenter Server Appliance
  • Use Image Builder to create an ESXi image
  • Use VMware vSphere® Auto Deploy to provision ESXi hosts
