VMware vSphere 5 - Part 2: Logging and Performance New Horizons Lebanon
Price: TBA
  • Duration: 3 Hours

Course details

vCenter Server provides some useful new features for monitoring your VMs and hosts. Expanded performance views and charts, and increased numbers and types of alarms available by default make it much easier to manage and monitor VMware vSphere performance and ensures that the administrator is not caught unaware of performance issues or lack of capacity. The monitoring of VMware vSphere should be a combination of proactive benchmarking and reactive alarm-based actions and vCenter Server provides both methods to help the administrator keep tabs on each of the VMs and hosts as well as the hierarchical objects in the inventory. vMA (vSphere Management Assistant) is a VM, built upon a Linux distribution, that comes prepackaged with several software solutions such as the vSphere CLI and the vSphere SDK for Perl. When using the vMA, an administrator can run scripts or other software which interacts with ESXi hosts and the vCenter Server. This course describes the vCenter Server tools such as performance charts, monitoring, alarms, vMA, and resxtop that are used to monitor, manage, and mitigate the various objects within the vSphere environment. This course can be used in preparation for the VCP5 exam. However, it is not sponsored or authorized by VMware so does not fully satisfy the training requirements to achieve the certification.
