    • VMware vSAN: Install, Configure, Manage [V8]

    JOYATRES Online Training Institute provides comprehensive VMware vSAN online training and real-time support for professionals. This course focuses on the latest advancements in software-defined storage, specifically the introduction of the vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA) alongside the traditional Original Storage Architecture (OSA). This 4-day course is essential for storage administrators who want to leverage vSphere native storage for performance and scalability, leading to VCP-MSC (Master Specialist) certification.

    VMware vSAN: Install, Configure, Manage [V8] Course Content

    • Course objectives and logistics.
    • The vSAN/vSphere certification path (VCP-MSC - Master Specialist).
    • vSAN Concepts: Defining Software-Defined Storage (SDS).
    • Architecture Comparison: Understanding the differences between vSAN OSA (Disk Groups: Caching + Capacity) and vSAN ESA (Storage Pools: Single-tier NVMe).
    • Object-Based Storage: How vSAN handles objects and components.
    • Hardware Requirements: Selecting certified controllers, SSDs, and NVMe drives (vSAN ReadyNodes).
    • Networking Requirements: Configuring VMkernel ports for vSAN and ensuring 10Gbps/25Gbps+ throughput.
    • Cluster Sizing: Calculating usable capacity considering failure tolerance (FTT).
    • Cluster Setup: Enabling vSAN on an existing vSphere cluster.
    • Claiming Disks: Managing disk groups (OSA) or storage pools (ESA).
    • vSAN Witness: Configuring vSAN for 2-node clusters and Stretched Clusters.
    • SPBM (Storage Policy Based Management): Defining availability and performance per Virtual Machine.
    • RAID Configurations: Implementing RAID-1 (Mirroring) and RAID-5/6 (Erasure Coding).
    • Policy Changes: Modifying policies on-the-fly without downtime.
    • Data Services: Configuring Deduplication, Compression, and Data-at-Rest Encryption.
    • vSAN File Service: Providing NFS and SMB shares directly from the vSAN cluster.
    • HCI Mesh: Sharing vSAN storage capacity across multiple independent clusters.
    • Capacity Management: Monitoring slack space and rebalancing data.
    • Health Check: Using the vSAN Health Service to proactively identify hardware and configuration issues.
    • Performance Monitoring: Using the vSAN Performance Service to analyze IOPS, throughput, and latency.
    • Stretched Clusters: Providing site-level disaster recovery by spanning vSAN across two geographic locations.
    • Witness Appliance: Role of the witness in maintaining quorum during site failure.
    • vLCM Integration: Using Image-based management to update firmware, drivers, and ESXi versions simultaneously.
    • Disk Replacements: Procedures for replacing failed drives or upgrading capacity.
