Detail the underlying vSAN architecture and components

Describe the different vSAN deployment options

Detail vSAN cluster requirements and considerations

Apply recommended vSAN design considerations and capacity sizing practices

Determine and plan for storage consumption by data growth and failure tolerance

Design vSAN hosts for operational needs

Explain Maintenance Mode use and its impacts on vSAN

Apply best practices for vSAN network configurations

Manually configure a vSAN cluster using VMware vSphere Clientâ¢

Explain and configure vSAN fault domains

Understand and apply vSAN storage policies

Define encryption in the vSAN cluster

Describe the architecture and use cases for stretched clusters

Describe the architecture and use cases for two-node clusters

Understand the steps involved in creating the vSAN iSCSI target services

This two-day, hands-on training course provides you with the knowledge, skills, and tools to plan and deploy a VMware vSAN? cluster. In this course, you are taught the many considerations that the end vSAN configuration has on the initial planning of the vSAN datastore. You also perform a fully manual configuration of a vSAN cluster.
