Description
Interested in learning how to quickly automate basic VMware administrative functions?Virtualization is becoming more pervasive in the datacenter than ever before and as these environments scale, the requirement for administrators to do more with less is never-ending. For that PowerCLI is the key to automating and managing VMware vSphere like a vExpert.This course will introduce PowerCLI, explain some PowerShell basics, and then dive deep with hands-on demonstrations to learn how to use PowerCLI for real-world administration of vSphere environment.In this course, you'll learn the fundamental knowledge of VMware command line tools and work flows to excel in the automation of everyday administration of VMware vSphere environments. First, you will learn the basic concepts of VMware's command line tools and how to install them.Next, You'll walk away from this course able to generate detailed reports about hosts, VMs and storage, able to monitor and analyze workloads and resources in order to optimize the virtual infrastructure's performance, and able to use command-line tools to reduce troubleshooting time.When you're finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of VMware PowerCLI to immediately start automating everyday tasks in your work center.To get the most out of this course you should have a solid understanding of working with vSphere and virtualization concepts. Some experience with command-line administration and PowerShell is helpful but not required.What You Will LearnThe course is designed to teach you:Basic concepts of PowerShell.PowerCLI Installation.Connect to ESXI Hosts and vCenter Server through PowerShell.Add, Configure and manage ESXI Hosts, Datacenter and Clusters.Create and Manage virtual machines, templates, clones, and snapshots.Create and Manage Standard and Virtual distributed Switches.Generate and Export detailed Environment reports.And more. By the end of this course, you'll learn how to combine PowerCLI commands with PowerShell functionality to automate a real world task and generate detailed reports.
