More and more tier 1 workloads are being virtualized, making the infrastructure underneath them all that more important. Due to this, along with the holistic nature of vSphere, administrators are forced to have the know-how on what to do when problems occur.This practical, easy-to-understand guide will give the vSphere administrator the knowledge and skill set they need in order to identify, troubleshoot, and solve issues that relate to storage visibility, storage performance, and storage capacity in a vSphere environment.This book will first give you the fundamental background knowledge of storage and virtualization. From there, you will explore the tools and techniques that you can use to troubleshoot common storage issues in today's data centers.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou will learn the steps to take when storage seems slow, or there is limited availability of storage. The book will go over the most common storage transport such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and NFS, and explain what to do when you can't see your storage, where to look when your storage is experiencing performance issues, and how to react when you reach capacity. You will also learn about the tools that ESXi contains to help you with this, and how to identify key issues within the many vSphere logfiles.\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you will learn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify the root cause of storage issues within vSphere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand where to look when storage is suddenly not available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse esxtop to monitor and discover pain points in your infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagnose and resolve SCSI reservations and queuing issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign storage properly based on workloads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonitor and alert on your thinly provisioned disks and data store capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUtilize Storage DRS to proactively balance your capacity and workload on your data stores\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintain compliance in terms of placement with Profile Driven Storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrant VMs the performance they need with Storage I\/O Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecipher storage-related error entries in the vSphere logfiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this book is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are a vSphere administrator, this is the book for you.
