Introduction

This chapter covers some basic tasks and features administrators may need to use while working with vCenter. Most of the tips and advices in this chapter as well as in this book assume that you already have vCenter deployed and that it already has some hosts and datastores connected. You may be running vCenter with a trial license, which will work just fine if you decide to try some of the how-tos in this chapter. All features and settings described in this chapter exist in any vSphere 5 version unless otherwise noted.
