About This Course - Learn VMware vSphere 6 from the ground up
This is an in-depth introductory course on virtualization with VMware vSphere 6. This course covers four major topics that all vSphere 6 administrators must know:
- First, we start by learning how to install and configure the ESXi 6.0 hypervisor. From there, we configure ESXi host management networking, join our host to a Windows AD domain, set up time services and much more
- Next, we explore virtual and physical networking. Virtual networking is used to provide Ethernet and TCP/IP networking to VMs. Physical networking is used by both ESXi and VMs to communicate to physical network peers. You will learn to build NIC teams for fast, reliable networking, and how to enable Cisco Discovery Protocol on your virtual Switches
- ESXi can use file shares for Virtual Machines, for backups and as a repository for install media images or to hold VM clones or templates. We will see the file choices ESXi supports, how to connect and disconnect from file shares and best practices for achieving both high performance and redundancy
- We will learn how to build virtual machines. You will learn about the features and capabilities of the virtual hardware layer, how to install a guest OS into your new VM, the purpose and benefits of VMware Tools and how to optimize your VMs for best performance and lowest resource overhead.
- Included at the end of each chapter is a series of one or more video demonstrations that show you exactly how to use your new vSphere skills in a live vSphere 6 environment!

Q: What do you do if you need to learn VMware vSphere introductory or advanced skills - but can't afford the crazy $5,500 price of VMware vSphere Install, Configure, Manage [v7] or the even more outrageous $8,400 for VMware vSphere Fast Track [v7] training courses?
A: Enroll in one or more of my VMware vSphere courses here on Udemy!

Why Learn From Me?
My name is Larry Karnis, and I have been teaching vSphere since 2004. I am an IT consultant / trainer with over 30+ years of experience. I currently run an IT consulting and training company called ESXLab that specializes in VMware vSphere.
After graduating with Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Math in 1984, I worked for 10 years as a UNIX programmer and administrator. I switched to Linux in 1995 and started teaching Linux courses for Learning Tree, Global Knowledge and RedHat. At RedHat, I taught introductory and advanced Linux courses and administered the RedHat Certified Engineer exams. I even authored two books on Linux.
My VMware Experience
I've been working with VMware products since 2001. I earned my first VMware Certified Professional (VCP) designation on ESX 2.0 in 2004 (VCP #: 993). I have earned VCP in ESX 3, and in vSphere 4 and 5.
I have been providing VMware consulting and training for more than 18 years. I have lead hundreds of classes and taught thousands of people how to use vSphere - before joining Udemy (where 25,000+ people have enrolled in my courses).
I worked for VMware as a VMware Certified Instructor (VCI) for almost five years (2004-2008). After leaving VMware, I launched my own VMware training business called ESXLab.
I hold many industry certificates including VCP-Datacenter Virtualization on VMware Infrastructure 2 & 3 and vSphere 4 & 5 (ret.), VMware Certified Instructor (ret.), RedHat Certified Engineer (RHCE), RedHat Certified Instructor (RHCI) and RedHat Certified Examiner (RHCX) as well as certifications from LPI, HP, SCO and others.
I hope to see you in one of my Udemy VMware vSphere classes... There's no risk - I make plenty content available for free preview. And, you have 30 days to ask for a refund if the course doesn't work for you.
I even include free ebook samples of my actual 5-day instructor led training classes in most of my vSphere courses. Look for a free download link in lecture 2 of my courses.
Once you enroll in one of my classes, feel free to ask questions. I usually respond within 1-2 days.
Thanks for your interest.
