商品描述

Managing the resources of your vSphere environment is essential for effective virtualization, and this book shows you how by taking you deep into ESXi and how it ensures resource availability, teaching practical techniques on the way.

Overview

  • Understand the requirements to build a strong virtual foundation and the features that can support your VMware environment
  • Monitor and automate the tools available to make your VMware vSphere environment more efficient
  • Packed with practical methods and techniques that will enhance your resource management in VMware

In Detail

vSphere is the flagship suit of Server virtualization, cloud deployment, and management. VMware vSphere comes with features that help you prepare a robust foundation to build virtual environments. You might have an already-built vSphere deployment, but managing the resources of your vSphere environment is crucial in order to save time and improve productivity.

This practical guide provides readers with a high-level understanding of the various components, methodologies and general best practices for maintaining and managing resources in a virtual environment.

Readers will begin the book with an explanation of the requirements for ESXi, the groundwork for VMware vSphere, and move through a comprehensive study of how resources are supplied. We'll then progress with showing you the characteristics that enable resource and virtual machine availability.

With a solid understanding of the requirements to build and run your environment, you then move on to understanding how ESXi manages resources such as CPU, memory, disk, and networks for multiple virtual machines and how it ensures resource availability. Finally, you will be made aware of the options available with Vmware vSphere to automate and monitor your environment.

Readers will go through a learning curve of understanding the components, identifying the course of action, and putting it to practice.

What you will learn from this book

  • Find out the requirements for installing ESXi and vCenter and determine whether your hardware is compatible
  • Discover how ESXi manages access to resources for multiple virtual machines
  • Familiarize yourself with ESXTOP and the methods to use it to monitor resources
  • Expand your knowledge of the features available with different versions of VMware vSphere, and methods to enable and configure them
  • Get acquainted with the automation features available with VMware vSphere to improve your environment efficiency
  • Unleash the monitoring options available with VMware vSphere to be alerted when there is a problem

Approach

This concise guide follows a practical approach, covering solutions and methods to manage resources for virtualization.

Who this book is written for

If you are a current vSphere administrator who is aspiring to start your virtualization journey with VMware vSphere and wants to learn how to manage your resources, this is the book for you. Readers are expected to have some prior knowledge of ESXi and vCenter.

管理您的vSphere環境資源對於有效的虛擬化至關重要,本書將帶您深入了解ESXi以及它如何確保資源可用性,並在此過程中教授實用技巧。

概述:
- 了解建立強大虛擬基礎架構的要求,以及可支援您的VMware環境的功能。
- 監控和自動化工具,使您的VMware vSphere環境更加高效。
- 提供實用方法和技巧,增強您在VMware中的資源管理。

詳細內容:
vSphere是服務器虛擬化、雲端部署和管理的旗艦套件。VMware vSphere具備幫助您準備強大基礎架構以建立虛擬環境的功能。您可能已經擁有一個已建立的vSphere部署,但是管理vSphere環境的資源對於節省時間和提高生產力至關重要。

本實用指南為讀者提供了對虛擬環境中各個組件、方法和一般最佳實踐的高層次理解。

讀者將從解釋ESXi的要求開始,這是VMware vSphere的基礎,然後深入研究資源供應的全面研究。然後,我們將展示使資源和虛擬機器可用性成為可能的特性。

在對建立和運行環境的要求有了扎實的理解之後,您將進一步了解ESXi如何管理多個虛擬機器的CPU、內存、磁盤和網絡等資源,以及如何確保資源可用性。最後,您將了解Vmware vSphere提供的自動化和監控環境的選項。

讀者將通過學習曲線來理解組件,確定行動方案並實踐它。

本書的學習重點:
- 了解安裝ESXi和vCenter的要求,並確定您的硬件是否兼容。
- 了解ESXi如何為多個虛擬機器管理資源訪問權限。
- 熟悉ESXTOP及其監控資源的方法。
- 擴展對不同版本的VMware vSphere可用功能的了解,以及啟用和配置它們的方法。
- 熟悉VMware vSphere提供的自動化功能,以提高環境效率。
- 探索VMware vSphere提供的監控選項,以在出現問題時接收警報。

方法:
本書採用實用方法,涵蓋了虛擬化資源管理的解決方案和方法。

本書適合對VMware vSphere有一定了解並希望開始虛擬化之旅的現有vSphere管理員。讀者預期具備一些ESXi和vCenter的基礎知識。
