Mega Course - vSphere 7.0 VCP-DCV 100% Lab Demos w. Ebook

Connect to ESXLab's remote access lab via remote desktop using provided credentials and non-standard port, adjust display settings, and work in a freshly provisioned Windows Server 2012 R2 evaluation environment.

Power on the ESXi host and begin the ESXi 7.0 installation using the lab environment, VMware Remote Console, and the vSphere infrastructure server.

Power on a fresh ESXi 7.0 host and perform an initial network-based installation, accepting the end user license agreement, selecting a virtual disk, and completing a 60-day evaluation.

Configure the esxi management network via the direct console user interface (dcui): set a single uplink, apply a static IPv4 address and DNS, and reboot to apply changes.

Test the management network by pinging the gateway and DNS and verifying DNS resolution, then enable console command line and SSH, and use host client to rename the data store.

Create a local non-root user and assign read-only permissions on an ESXi host, then join the host to Active Directory and grant a domain user read-only access to validate permissions.

Restart the ESXi management agents via the direct console to restore host health, then review VM kernel logs and key configs with the host resource to avoid rebooting running VMs.

Create and configure standard virtual switches on an ESXi 7.0 host, set up VMkernel NICs for management and v motion, and configure port groups with uplinks and NIC teaming.

Explore advanced vSwitch networking in VMware vSphere seven boot camp, configuring security policies, NIC teaming, and jumbo frames to improve VM security and vMotion performance.

Connect your ESX host to NFS shares and create a VMkernel NIC to access the manifest network. Create NFS data stores and mount ISO data for future labs.

Learn to import a Windows 10 virtual machine on an ESXi host and build a Porteus Linux VM from scratch, including storage, network, and ISO setup.

Customize a Windows 10 VM by editing hardware settings, enabling CPU hot-plug and memory upgrades, enabling 3D video, mounting an ISO, installing Firefox, and tuning performance for labs.

Learn how to give up and take ownership of a virtual machine by deregistering and registering it across hosts, then create and manage snapshots to protect and revert changes.

Export a virtual machine in OVF/OVA format, deploy it into ESXi 7 via the Deploy OVF/OVA wizard, then power on the VM.

Launch the vCenter Server Appliance installer from a Windows 10 VM, connect to the ESXi host, configure deployment size and network settings, and prepare for post-install tasks.

Complete stage two of the vCenter Server Appliance installer by configuring single sign on domain, time synchronization, SSL, and static network settings, then join the domain and finish the install.

Explore post-install tasks in vCenter Server Appliance using the virtual appliance management interface (VAMI), including health monitoring, configuration, networking, and backups.

Join the vCenter Server Appliance's Photon OS to Active Directory, configure single sign-on, add the ESX Lab domain as an identity source, and grant administrator rights.

Install and configure the vCenter Server Appliance, create a production data center, organize hosts and VMs, and import an ESXi host into vCenter with essential network and storage context.

Learn to convert an existing virtual machine into a clean template by removing snapshots, performing an orderly guest shutdown with VMware tools, and preparing guest customization specifications for template deployment.

Create and apply a guest host customization specification to deploy Windows VMs from a template with unique computer names, IP settings, workgroup, and time zone.

Learn how to deploy a new virtual machine from a template and apply a guest OS customization specification to configure a unique Windows 10 VM, including license and IP address.

Clone an existing vm into a template by gracefully powering off the source and converting the clone to a template, then return the original to service with thin disk format.

Learn how to clone a powered-on virtual machine to a new one, choose a data store with read/write permissions, customize the guest operating system, and deploy with no downtime.

Create and publish a local vSphere content library, upload Windows 10 templates, and deploy a VM directly from the library, then import an ISO and attach it to the VM.

Discover how to hot add a virtual disk to a running vm with vSphere client, initializing, converting to dynamic, extending, or removing it without downtime.

Learn to hot grow the system (C) drive of a running Windows VM using vSphere Client, then extend the volume with unallocated space via Disk Management, all without downtime.

Learn how to hot plug additional vCPU and vRAM into a running VM with no downtime, verify changes with CPU Z and Windows tools.

Upgrade a virtual machine's hardware version to access new features, after taking a snapshot and performing a clean shutdown. Automatically upgrade VMware Tools on reboot for better hardware support.

Explore how to grant vCenter administrator permissions to the root user, propagate the administrator role to child objects, and maintain access when an aid account is unavailable.

Grant limited vCenter access to Active Directory users by creating targeted permission assignments, using read-only and VM power user roles, and verify propagation to child objects.

Configure custom roles in vSphere by cloning a read-only rule, editing privileges, and testing as the sole administrator, leveraging global permissions to grant precise access across inventory trees.
