vSphere 7: Configuring and Managing vSphere Storage
In this course, vSphere 7: Configuring and Managing vSphere Storage, you’ll learn how to configure all forms of vSphere storage including VMFS, iSCSI, NFS, VMware Virtual SAN (vSAN), and advanced multi-pathing.
What you'll learn
VMware vSphere powers the majority of the on-premises datacenters in the world today, and vSphere administrators are highly sought-after in the job market. The VMware Certified Professional (or VCP) is the most popular virtualization certification in the world. In this course, vSphere 7: Configuring and Managing vSphere Storage, you’ll learn how to configure all forms of vSphere storage. First, you'll learn how to configure iSCSI, NFS, and VMFS storage for vSphere. Next, you'll discover the power of VMware Virtual SAN (vSAN) and how to configure it. Finally, you'll explore how to configure vSphere storage multi-pathing and failover. By the end of this course, you'll know everything you need to know to configure and manage your vSphere 7 storage infrastructure!
