In this two-day course, you focus on learning the tools and skills necessary to troubleshoot VMware vSAN™ 7 implementations. You gain practical experience with vSAN troubleshooting concepts through the completion of instructor-led activities and hands-on lab exercises.
Audience:
Storage and virtual infrastructure administrators who want to be able to perform initial troubleshooting on their software-defined storage with vSAN.
Prerequisites:
You must complete one of the following prerequisites:
• Understanding of concepts presented in the VMware vSphere®: Install, Configure, Manage course
