VMware vSAN: Production Operations

De VMware vSphere Troubleshooting Workshop is een praktijkgerichte training die ervaren systeembeheerders en integrators helpt om geavanceerde troubleshootingskills op te bouwen binnen een vSphere-omgeving. Tijdens deze workshop leer je:

• Problemen analyseren met de vSphere Web Client, CLI-tools en logbestanden
• SSL-certificaten implementeren voor vCenter Server en ESXi
• Netwerkstoringen oplossen, waaronder standaard/distributed switch en VM-connectiviteit
• Storage-issues analyseren zoals LUN- en multipathing-problemen
• Troubleshooten van vCenter Server- en ESXi hostproblemen
• Oplossen van vSphere cluster- en vMotion-fouten
• Virtual machine-problemen identificeren zoals snapshots, power-on failures en VMware Tools
• Logisch en gestructureerd troubleshooten met behulp van VMware Management Assistant en loganalyse

Deze training is ideaal voor professionals die verantwoordelijkheid dragen voor stabiele en foutloze VMware-omgevingen.

De leerstof is in het Engels, maar de training wordt gegeven door een Nederlandstalige docent.
