Book Description
vSphere 6.5 is a complex tool, and incorrect design and deployment can create performance-related issues. This book is focused on solving these problems, as well as providing best practices and performance-enhancing techniques.
This book starts with interesting recipes such as the interaction of vSphere 6.5 components with physical layers such as CPU, memory, network, and storage. Then we focus on tuning, optimizing, and scaling your vSphere 6.5 infrastructure. Next, you’ll learn how to select and configure the hardware with VMware vSphere 6.5. Moving on, you will learn about ESXi, Guest OS, and Virtual infrastructure Management. You will also see how to manage changes to the vSphere environment and optimize the performance of all vSphere components. Lastly, the book covers concepts such as high availability, clustering, CPU and VMM scheduler, core sharing, storage array, and command queuing.
By the end of this book, you will be able to identify, diagnose, and troubleshoot operational faults and critical performance issues in vSphere 6.5.
What you will learn
- Understand the VMM Scheduler, cache aware CPU Scheduler, NUMA Aware CPU Scheduler, and more during the CPU Performance Design phase
- Get to know the virtual memory reclamation technique, monitoring host ballooning, and swapping activity
- Choose the right platform while designing your vCenter Server, redundant vCenter design, and vCenter SSO and its deployment
- Know how to use various performance simulation tools
- Design VCSA Server Certificates to minimize security threats
- Use health check tools for storage and boost vSphere 6.5's performance with VAAI and VASA
