Vorkenntnisse
- Understanding of concepts presented in the VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.x] course
- Storage administration experience with block or file storage devices
- Completion of the VMware vSAN: Deploy and Manage [v6.7] course or equivalent experience with vSAN is desirable.
The course presumes that a student can perform the following tasks with no assistance or guidance before enrolling:
- Use VMware vSphere® Web Client
- Create and manage VMware vCenter Server® objects, such as data centers, clusters, hosts, and virtual machines
- Create and modify a standard switch
