VMware vSAN Plan and Deploy
About Course
This thirty-days, hands-on training course provides you with the knowledge, skills, and tools to plan and deploy a VMware vSAN™ cluster. In this course, you are taught the many considerations that the vSAN configuration has on the initial planning of the vSAN datastore. You also manually configure a vSAN cluster.
What Will You Learn?
- Explain the key features and use cases for vSAN
- Detail the underlying vSAN architecture and components
- Describe the different vSAN deployment options
- Detail vSAN cluster requirements and considerations
- Apply recommended vSAN design considerations and capacity sizing practices
- Explain the influence of vSAN objects and components on the initial cluster plan
- Determine and plan for storage consumption by data growth and failure tolerance
- Design vSAN hosts for operational needs
- Explain Maintenance Mode use and its impacts on vSAN
- Apply best practices for vSAN network configurations
- Manually configure a vSAN cluster using VMware vSphere® Client™
- Explain and configure vSAN fault domains
- Understand and apply vSAN storage policies
- Define encryption in the vSAN cluster
- Describe the architecture and use cases for stretched clusters
- Configure a stretched cluster
- Understand the steps involved in creating the vSAN iSCSI target services
