Learn to manage storage on VMware ESXi 6.7

With the VMware ESXi 6.7 hypervisor, you can use different types of storage, including local storage (DAS) or network attached storage (NAS).

In this 3rd course about VMware ESXi 6.7, you will learn:

• what Direct Attached Storage (DAS) is, its advantages and check its compatibility to benefit from VMware support (if applicable).
• what Network Attached Storage (NAS) is, how to check its compatibility and ensure that it's officially supported by VMware.
• to add a physical disk hot (without turning off your hypervisor) to create a new datastore.

Then, you will also learn how to manage the datastores of your hypervisor to:

• create a local datastore on a physical disk (HDD/SSD) or on a RAID logical disk.
• create a datastore on storage available on the network via iSCSI or NFS.
• extend an existing datastore on the same physical disk or on an additional physical disk.

Finally, you will learn how to manage the storage of your virtual machines:

• understand the different types of virtual disk provisioning and how to avoid storage overprovisioning.
• use a paravirtual SCSI controller provided by VMware
• change the identifier of a virtual disk (VMDK)
• and more.
