One of the most distinguishing features of VMware Virtual SAN 6.1 is the availability of stretched cluster deployment. The stretched cluster allows the Virtual SAN customer to configure two geographically located sites, while synchronously replicating data between the two sites. This provides high availability and protection against a single site failure.


This white paper examines the performance aspects of a Virtual SAN stretched cluster deployment. Specifically, it examines the overhead of synchronously replicating data across two geographical sites by benchmarking against a regular, single site Virtual SAN cluster deployment. Failure scenarios of a single hard disk and entire site failure are considered. The Virtual SAN stretched cluster can handle both failure scenarios robustly. 

This hands-on training workshop provides you with the advanced knowledge, skills, and abilities to achieve competence in troubleshooting the VMware vSphere 6 environment. This workshop increases your skill and competence in using the command-line interface, VMware vSphere Web Client, VMware vRealize Log lnsight, and other tools to analyze and solve problems. 

The objectives are:

• Use vSphere Web Client, the command-line interface, and logs to diagnose and resolve problems in the vSphere environment
• Introduce troubleshooting principals and procedures
• Troubleshoot networking issues and recover from them
• Analyze storage failure scenarios and resolve the issues 
• Troubleshoot vSphere cluster failure scenarios and analyze possible causes
• Diagnose common VMware vSphere® High Availability issues and provide solutions
• Troubleshoot problems related to virtual machine migration (VMware vSphere vMotion) and improve resource use (VMware vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler)
• Troubleshoot vCenter Server issues
• Identify ESXi host issues (analyze failure scenarios and correct them)
• Troubleshoot faulty virtual machines, including installation issues, snapshot issues, connection issues, and more.

We did it again, 40 videos is just 4 days. This is a picture of the VMworld TV team who really did their utmost at the VMworld 2015 in Barcelona. I would like to thank the editors and camera guys for their hard work (day and night) and especially my co-host Jeremy van Doorn. Also thanks go out to all our viewers for watching our videos.

This course presents a methodology for designing and deploying a VMware Horizon solution. The design methodology includes recommendations for the type of information and data that must be gathered and analyzed to make sound design decisions for the client systems, the desktop options, the VMware vSphere infrastructure, and the Horizon components.

VMware best practices are presented for each phase of the design process. During this class, you apply your new knowledge by working with other participants to design and deploy a Horizon solution for a real-world project.

The objectives of this training course are:

• Assess the business and application requirements of an environment
• Design a Horizon infrastructure architecture that addresses the needs of the environment and follows VMware best practices
• Document a design that can be implemented
• Design and deploy a comprehensive Horizon solution
