Key benefits

  • Learn how to plan and design the VxRail HCI system
  • Understand VxRail’s administration, lifecycle management, and cluster scale-out
  • Explore migration methodologies for VxRail systems

Description

Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) can help you simplify the provisioning and daily operations of computing and storage. With this book, you'll understand how HCI can offload the day 0 deployment and day-to-day operations of a system administrator. You'll explore the VxRail Appliance, which is an HCI solution that provides lifecycle management, automation, and operational simplicity. Starting with an overview of the VxRail Appliance system architecture and components, you'll understand the benefits of the VxRail system and compare it with the environment of traditional servers and storage. As you advance, the book covers topics such as disaster recovery and active-active and active-passive solutions for VxRail. By the end of this book, you'll have gained the confidence to manage the deployment, administration, planning, and design of a VxRail system.

Who is this book for?

If you are a system architect, system administrator, or consultant involved in planning and deploying VxRail HCI or want to learn how to use VxRail HCI, then this book is for you. Equivalent knowledge and administration experience with ESXi and vCenter Server will be helpful.

What you will learn

  • Set up the hardware and software requirements for a VxRail installation
  • Monitor the status of VxRail appliances with the VxRail Manager plugin
  • Get to grips with all the administration interfaces used to manage the VxRail appliance
  • Understand vCenter roles and permissions management in the VxRail cluster
  • Discover best practices for vSAN configuration in the VxRail cluster
  • Find out about VxRail cluster scale-out rules and how to expand the VxRail cluster
  • Deploy active-passive solutions for VxRail with VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM)

My first VxRail learning experience was EMC’s VxRail deployment and management back in 2019, it was not sufficient to get started with new technology, I was searched a lot about VxRail related documents, blog articles, etc.. always the author Victor Wu was there with a different set of technical contents about VxRail and he was much interested to share with the community, by the way, we both are part of VMware vExpert community since a long time.Let's talk about this book, as of now I didn’t find any blogs or documents that have this much detailing about VxRail deployment and management briefing, this is the best who is wanted to cross skill with EMC’s VxRail product line. The book covers various topics like VxRail HCI overview, Installation, Administration, Management, VMware vSAN, Upgrading, Scale-out, Active-Passive, and Active-Active solution, Migration from existing platform to VxRail, etc. All the chapters have relevant screenshots so that we are going to get a hands-on kind of experience.After reading this book, I thought to recommend those who wanted to understand and learn more about the VxRail HCI solution. Highly recommended.

The content is extremely descriptive follows a logical pattern and provides plenty of thoughts and considerations outside of just a normal manual. The pictures and illustrations add a great deal to the book and make it more of a VXRail deployment bible with considerations for SRM and stretched clusters. Looking at what Victor has produced it is more like one of the guides of long ago which were so much more in depth. I find that the modern guides from Dell have become far less descriptive and missing so many steps and considerations that people start to guess or have to get further information elsewhere. Victor has managed to pull it all together in a neat guide which is well worth it.

Victor Wu's book on implementing VxRail HCI Solutions is a great guide for administrators starting with VxRail. It follows a step by step approach, explaining all components, and is a great study guide to prepare for the installation and/or administration exams from Dell Technologies (DES-6321 and DES-6322), to attain Specialist certification.After each chapter, there are questions to check if you have understood the information contained in that chapter. It handles virtually all aspects needed for day-to-day management of VxRail clusters. I have given several workshops on VxRail Health and am advising Victor's book to all participants, as study guide and reference material.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
