VMware vSphere 5 - Part 1: Configuring and Managing Virtual Machines New Horizons Lebanon
Price: TBA
  • Duration: 3 Hours

Course details

Just as physical machines require hardware upgrades or changes, a VM might require virtual hardware upgrades or changes to meet changing performance demands. Once a VM has been created, the vSphere Client makes it easy to manage the VM. Virtual floppy images and CD/DVD drives can be mounted or unmounted as necessary. vSphere provides support for initiating an orderly shutdown of the guest OS in a VM, although this requires that VMware Tools be installed. VM snapshots allow you to take a point-in-time picture of a VM so that administrators can roll back changes if needed. vSphere also offers a number of features to make it easy to modify VMs after they have been created. Administrators can hot-add certain types of hardware, like virtual hard disks and network adapters, and some guest OSes also support hot-adding virtual CPUs or memory, although this feature must be enabled ï¬rst. This course will review the various aspects of your virtual machine hardware configuration and the management of virtual machines. Virtual machine migration, otherwise known as vMotion, will be covered, as well as the different ways you can access your virtual machines and virtual machine snapshots.
