How to learn VMware virtualization Technology

How to learn VMware virtualization Technology

Virtualization and cloud computing, is a comprehensive technology, need to master the network, storage, server and other aspects of knowledge, have a certain hands-on practical ability.

1 requires VMware workstation and network Fundamentals

If you are just a beginner, able to install the operating system for your laptop, desktop, install Office, QQ and other common software, then you can start from the VMware Workstation, you only have a minimum 4GB memory of the Windows 7 operating system of the computer, There is a certain network search ability (from the Internet to download the image of common operating systems, VMware workstation software, testing of common software), you can begin to learn the basics of virtualization. 51CTO College has a lot of free courses from VMware Workstation that you can learn by video.

After you have mastered the basics of VMware Workstation, you also need to understand the VMware Workstation network, which you can read in my blog "Deep Understanding of VMware Network", article Link:/http wangchunhai.blog.51cto.com/225186/381225/

2 Building a virtualized infrastructure platform

Virtualization has never existed alone, and to learn and use virtualization requires a range of basic services, so you should learn the configuration of Windows Server R2 or Windows Server R2 Active directory, DHCP configuration, WSUS configuration, KMS configuration, and understanding Certificate Services, requesting and installing certificates for servers, are the basis for virtualization. Yes, these are knowledge of windows, whether you are using VMware virtualization, Microsoft Virtualization, or other virtualization products, only if you have mastered these and configured these environments to make virtualized projects work better. For these, you can learn in my course "VMware Server virtualization improves the virtualization Infrastructure configuration Video Course" . Http://edu.51cto.com/course/course_id-1216.html

3 Learning to draw a topological map

In the course of learning, you may see a large number of topological maps, beginners should learn to draw topological maps, and use topological maps, to plan their own network, or express their meaning. Learning to draw a topology is another skill that must be mastered, and you can learn it in the "Follow me on a video course with Visio picture topology".

4 VSphere 5.5 installation, configuration, and enterprise operations

The VMware vsphere platforms currently running in the market (or enterprise) are mainly focused on 5.x and 6.x versions, and of course some older servers are running VMware ESX Server 4.0 or even VMware ESX server 3.5, the servers to which these systems belong , most configurations are low, typically replaced with newer hardware in almost 2-3 years, and the Vsphere 6.x version is installed directly on the new server. For some servers with higher configuration, if the system is Vcenter Server 5.x (5.0, 5.1, or 5.5), ESXi 5.x (5.0, 5.1, 5.5), you can upgrade to Vsphere 6.x, on the vsphere version of the upgrade, You can read my blog post or learn by video.

If you have a vsphere 5.x server running on your network, but you don't have a plan to upgrade, and if you want to learn about Vsphere's installation, configuration, and operations management, you can learn my series ofVMware vsphere Enterprise operations: From getting started to improving package courses ", This series includes the ESXi 5.5 and vcenter Server 5.5 installation configuration, VM Backup and recovery tools, VMware View virtual desktops, vsphere Operations Management Vcops and more, including two small business VMware virtualization application Cases , the whole series is very good value.

5 installation configuration and management of VSphere 6 series video

If your network is running vsphere 6.x systems and want to fully learn vsphere 6.x, I am divided into two series, one of which is "Installation configuration and management" and the other is "enterprise operations". Now that the first series has been fully recorded, the series is named "VSphere 6 Virtualization and cloud Computing data center ⊙ planning design and installation configuration ", which describes in detail the VMware ESXi and vcenter Server installation configuration, Using traditional client vsphere clients to manage vsphere, using Web clients to manage vsphere, vsphere upgrades, VMware VSAN, VMware View Desktops (versions 6.2 and 7.0), the current series is positioned to install, Configuration and management, VSphere 6 system operations will be reflected in another series, learning Links: http://edu.51cto.com/pack/view/id-281.html

Another series of vsphere "operations and Management", the entire series has not yet been recorded, the currently recorded courses are:

VDP6-based virtual machine backup and Recovery solution Video Course

Http://edu.51cto.com/course/course_id-5755.html

VMware P2V and V2V tools introductory Video Course

Http://edu.51cto.com/course/course_id-5936.html

The latter will record vsphere 6 operations management courses.
