:
| 9+ Hours of Video Instruction
|
| Almost 10 hours of video designed to help you prepare to pass the
| VMware Professional vSphere 7.x exam, which is a key requirement
| for earning the VCP-DCV certification. This course is also
| advantageous to those who want to learn how to implement,
| configure, and manage a vSphere environment or those preparing to
| take another Data Center Virtualization qualifying exam.
|
| Overview
|
| Earning the VCP-DCV certification demonstrates that you can
| implement, configure, manage, and support virtual infrastructure
| and clouds built on VMware vSphere 7. It demonstrates that you
| understand the components, features, and use cases for vSphere 7.
| The major step for earning VCP-DCV is to pass the Professional
| vSphere 7 exam. This course is designed to help you achieve exam
| success! It provides details on the exam objectives as stated in
| the exam blueprint, as well as technical detail, explanations, and
| real-world examples. At the end of each lesson is an end-of-lesson
| quiz to test your understanding of the concepts discussed.
|
| Throughout this course, you will gain a deeper understanding of
| VMware vSphere 7 and how to use it to implement virtual compute
| infrastructure, virtual storage infrastructure, and virtual
| network infrastructure. You learn how to optimize host clusters
| and provide high availability for VMs to protect against hardware,
| storage, and network infrastructure issues. You learn how to
| monitor virtual machines and vSphere components and how to perform
| day-to-day operations and maintenance.
|
| At the end of the course, you will not only be able to engage in
| knowledgeable discussions involving vSphere 7 but also will be
| well on your way to passing the Professional vSphere 7.x exam and
| be that much closer to VCP-DCV certification.
|
| About the Instructor
|
| John A. Davis, an independent contractor and senior integration
| architect at MEJEER, LLC, became a VMware Certified Instructor
| (VCI) and VMware Certified Professional (VCP) in 2004. Since then,
| all of his work has focused on VMware-based technologies. He has
| experience in teaching official VMware curriculum in five
| countries and delivering VMware professional services throughout
| the United States. Recently, his work has involved designing and
| implementing solutions for hybrid clouds, cloud automation,
| disaster recovery, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). He
| has authored several white papers and co-authored the VCP6-DCV
| Cert Guide and the VCAP5-DCA Cert Guide (VMware Press). He holds
| several advanced certifications, including VCAP5-DCA, VCAP5-DCD,

|
| Lesson Descriptions
|
| Lesson 1, ôExam Details and General Recommendations,ö focuses on
| the exam itself, including the purpose and requirements of the
| VCP-DCV certification, delivery options, the number of exam
| questions, and the objectives, resources, and recommendations.
|
| Lesson 2, ôvSphere Overview, Installation, and Integration,ö
| starts with what the major pieces and editions of vSphere are, and
| the requirements for implementing vSphere. Then we cover vSphere
| in SDDC and hybrid clouds followed by vSphere integration with
| other VMware Products. Lesson 2 explains how to install ESXi as
| well as vCenter Server. Next, it covers Single Sign-on and how to
| configure it, and then covers the initial vSphere configuration.
|
| Lesson 3, ôStorage Infrastructure, Configuration, and Management,ö
| deals with storage infrastructure. By the end of this lesson, you
| will have a good understanding of how to leverage storage
| infrastructure with vSphere and how to manage virtual storage
| infrastructure for your VMs.
|
| Lesson 4, ôNetwork Infrastructure, Configuration, and Management,ö
| teaches you how to provide a virtual network infrastructure for
| your VMs. The lesson starts with network terminology and then
| delves into virtual switches, including vSphere standard switches
| and vSphere distributed switches. Next, the lesson covers VMkernel
| virtual adapters, TCP/IP stacks, networking policies, port
| allocation, binding, mirroring, network IO control, private VLANs,
| LACP support, and finally, managing hosts with vDS.
|
| Lesson 5, ôvSphere Security,ö starts with vSphere certificates,
| including the key vSphere components that manage certificates and
| custom certificates. It then moves into vSphere Authentication and
| Single Sign-on (SSO). vSphere permissions, including default and
| custom roles, are next, and then security, which includes ESXi
| security, vCenter Server security, network security, and VM
| security.
|
| Lesson 6, ôCluster Configuration, Resource Management, and
| Optimization,ö covers vSphere DRS, which provides load balancing
| and VM happiness; vSphere DRS rules and resource pools, which
| controls VM placement and resource usage; and vSphere high
| availability and HA response. Other vSphere availability features
| are discussed, including vCenter Server HA, using performance
| charts, as well as other resource usage tools. This lesson also
| provides details on vSphere alerts and vSphere logging.
|
| Lesson 7, ôManaging vSphere Services and Virtual Machines,ö
| provides many ôhow-toö steps for daily management and operational
| procedures involving vSphere inventory, virtual machine
| configuration and use, virtual machine file structure and VM
| snapshots, virtual machine upgrades, and virtual machine
| migrations. This lesson specifically focuses on two migration
| types: vMotion and Storage vMotion. Next, we cover virtual machine
| cloning and templates, the Content Library, vSphere upgrades and
| lifecycle management, and vCenter Server monitoring and
| management.n
