Clear and Simple VMware vSphere 6.5 Foundations VCP - Part 2

Learn how vMotion moves a running virtual machine between ESX hosts with no outage using shared storage and a VM kernel port, preserving network access and IP.

Establish a shared datastore and a vmotion vmkernel port across esxi hosts, then verify shared storage, compatibility, and network readiness for a seamless vmotion migration.

Demonstrates scheduling a vMotion to move a VM between hosts, with destination selection, high-priority scheduling, after-hours timing, and email confirmations, plus notes on storage considerations.

Move a running virtual machine from one data store to another using storage vMotion, with changes mirrored via the mirror driver and shared nothing vMotion when no shared storage exists.

Demonstrates storage vMotion by migrating a virtual machine's files to another data store while it remains on the same host, with options for thick or thin provisioning and scheduling.

Explore how high availability protects virtual machines from host failures by rebooting them on surviving ESX hosts, with shared storage and admission control ensuring spare capacity and resilient recovery.

Explore how high availability and admission control safeguard virtual machines by reserving spare resources, calculating slot sizes, and ensuring failover when hosts fail.

Learn how datastore heartbeat validates host status during high availability and host isolation. Choose to leave virtual machines running, shut them down to relocate, or power them off for restart.

Proactive high availability in vSphere 6.5 detects hardware issues, migrates VMs with motion, and uses orchestrated restart with quarantine and maintenance modes, plus cluster resource percentage for admission control.

Configure a six-host cluster for high availability, enabling automatic VM restarts, host isolation responses, and storage and guest OS failure handling, with mission control optimization for one-host failure scenarios.

Explain how vCenter enables the creation and operation of DRS clusters, and how vMotion distributes virtual machines for load balancing, emphasizing that DRS cannot run without vCenter.

The video explains how DRC uses maintenance mode to evacuate virtual machines before rebooting a host during updates or remediation, with Update Manager staging.

Understand resource fragmentation during high availability events and how DRS rebalances workloads to consolidate across hosts, freeing space for a large virtual machine after a host failure.

Explore what's new in vSphere 6.5 DRS, including predictive DRS that migrates VMs before contention using vcenter operations manager and network-aware, cpu overcommitment, and VM distribution enhancements.

Demonstrates configuring DRS on a two-host ESX cluster, selecting manual, partially automated, or fully automated modes, setting migration thresholds, and enabling predictive dress.

Explore enhanced v motion compatibility (evc) to create a common CPU baseline across AMD and Intel hosts, masking new features to ensure consistent VM performance and safe cluster membership.

Enable fault tolerance to mirror the primary virtual machine to a secondary, replicate memory, and enable instant failover with no downtime, delivering one hundred percent uptime and data loss protection.

Explore resource pools and vApps in vSphere 6.5 foundations. Learn to group virtual machines, set shares, limits, reservations, and power-on order for scalable performance and isolation.

Explore how vSphere data protection provides integrated virtual machine and file-level backups with incremental changes, guest agent application backups, and web-based self-service restores.

Verify and manage ESXi host networking by reviewing virtual switches and VM kernel ports, configuring network stacks, and ensuring MTU consistency and jumbo frames across physical adapters.

Explore ethernet's evolution from csma/cd on coax to hubs and switches. Learn how switches build a Mac address table to forward frames to the correct port.

Learn how ESXi management agents synchronize host status with vCenter, when to restart them for troubleshooting, and how to restart them via the direct console user interface or command line.

Troubleshoot common ESX and Vicenta installation issues, focusing on interactive installs, boot order checks, and deployment options like USB, scripted, and auto deploy; collect logs and verify licensing.

Export esx host logs and generate a diagnostic bundle for VMware support using the vSphere web client, then upload to a support request per knowledge base article 653.

Discover how the embedded PostgreSQL database in the center server appliance version 6.5 enables simple maintenance, auto vacuuming, native backups, and seamless high availability.
