Course Content

This course covers the planning, installation, configuration, and administration of VMware ESXi 5 with vCenter Server 5 management interface in a NetApp storage environment. Comparison of NFS and VMFS datastore pros and cons are explained with configuration of related network settings. The NetApp plug-in, Virtual Storage Console for vCenter 4/5 with 1) Monitoring and Host Configuration capability, 2) Backup and Restore capability and 3) Provisioning and Cloning capability is covered extensively with hands-on labs. Demonstration and configuration of SnapMirror and VMware HA/DRS for High Availability and SnapVault , OSSV and SnapProtect for Backup and Restore in VMware environments are fully explained and demonstrated. The class provides practical scenarios and explanation of NetApp/VMware best practices, performance tuning and troubleshooting ESXi 5 Clusters on NetApp Data ONTAP 8.1 7-mode. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to confidently configure VMware ESXi 5.0 on NetApp Data ONTAP 8.1 7-mode architecture and its components and explain the key benefits of NetApp’s vCenter-integrated Virtual Storage Console as an end-to-end solution.
