Overview

By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:
Introduce troubleshooting principles and procedures
Practice Linux commands that aid in the troubleshooting process
Use command-line interfaces, log files, and the vSphere Client to diagnose and resolve problems in the vSphere environment
Explain the purpose of key vSphere log files
Monitor and optimize compute, network, and storage performance on ESXi hosts
Monitor and optimize vCenter Server performance
Identify networking problems based on reported symptoms, validate and troubleshoot the reported problem, identify the root cause and implement the appropriate resolution
Analyze storage failure scenarios using a logical troubleshooting methodology, identify the root cause, and apply the appropriate resolution to resolve the problem
Troubleshoot vSphere cluster failure scenarios and analyze possible causes
Diagnose common VMware vSphere High Availability problems and provide solutions
Identify and validate VMware ESXiâ¢ host and VMware vCenter Server problems, analyze failure scenarios, and select the correct resolution
Troubleshoot virtual machine problems, including migration problems, snapshot problems, and connection problems
Troubleshoot performance problems with vSphere components

This five-day, accelerated, hands-on training course is a blend of the VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale and VMware vSphere: Troubleshooting courses. This Fast Track course includes topics from each of these advanced courses to equip experienced VMware administrators with the knowledge and skills to effectively optimize and troubleshoot vSphere at an expert level.
