VMware vSphere 7 Foundations 1.9 - Getting Started with vSphere - Create a vSphere Cluster

Описание: Most of the functionality in vCentre relies on the Hosts forming a cluster. This allows features like HA and DRS to function. At the end of this video, you'll know how to create a cluster and add vSphere hosts to it.

Glossary for Module 1

Hypervisor
Software that allows the operation of Virtual Machines on a host

ESXi
The name for the hypervisor in vSphere. Originally called “ESX”, the name changed with version 4. ESX Stands for “Elastic Sky X”, and the i means “Installable”

Type 1
Type of Hypervisor that is installed directly on the server hardware, in place of an Operating System, such as Hyper-V or ESXi

Type 2
Type of Hypervisor that is installed on to an existing Operating System, such as VMware Workstation

Host
A server running a Hypervisor

Intel VT/AMD-V
Intel Virtualisation Technology / AMD Virtualisation – Hardware assisted virtualisation types

High Availability (HA)
A vSphere feature that restarts failed VMs in the event of a Host failure

Cluster
A group of (usually) two or more hosts managed as a single object, enabling features such as HA

Data Centre
A vSphere management object representing a single physical location

vCentre
vSphere package/component used for managing multiple hosts

VMware Tools
A bundle of drivers and related software installed on a virtual machine to support the virtual hardware.

Guest/Guest OS
The operating system and associated software within a Virtual Machine. Sometimes used synonymously with Virtual Machines.

Module Summary
This module was short and simple, a rapid introduction that you can use to quickly build a small vSphere Cluster. The terminology from this module is the most important to remember. That said, in the exam, you are likely to encounter questions about Hardware Assisted Virtualisation, such as Intel VT. Also, remember that VCSA 7 requires 16GB RAM as a minimum, and the size of the disks and resources it uses will vary depending on which size deployment you select in the wizard.
