VMware vSAN Specialist v2
During this four-day course, you will gain the knowledge, skills, and tools to plan and deploy a VMware vSAN™ cluster.
You will learn about managing and operating vSAN. This course focuses on building the required skills for common Day-2 vSAN administrator tasks such as vSAN node management, cluster maintenance, security operations, troubleshooting and advanced vSAN cluster operations.
You will learn these skills through the completion of instructor-led activities and hands-on lab exercises.
