VMware vSAN: Management and Operations [V7]

SS Course: 60881

Course Overview

TOP
In this three-day course, you learn about managing and operating VMware vSAN 7. This course focuses on building the required skills for common Day-2 vSAN administrator tasks such as, vSAN node management, cluster maintenance, security operations and advanced vSAN cluster operations. You also gain practical experience through the completion of instructor-led activities and hands-on lab exercises.
