Hi Emilio, I want learn more about VMware in practical and I don't have hardware much compatible to install workstation because I know basic things.....please suggest me can I do
Thank you! I start my internship tomorrow and this gave a beautiful rundown on VMware/vCenter/vSphere and ESXi as well, this has given me a boost of confidence. Best wishes!
even though I've worked with vSphere and ESXi i was still always confused about vCenter. I'm studying now before a very important interview . thank you!
Another great video. Already knew all of it after a few years in the field but still love watching your videos as a nice bit of back to basics revision!
Thanks for the clarification, i was looking for a simple explanation regarding the differences between Vsphere, Vcenter etc. Thanks for making it simple and not assuming anything.
What a fantastic video, excellent detailed explanation of this topic!!! Thank you so much!!! I did not know anything about VMware before but after watching this video ("as a recommedation from a friend") couple times I really understand the main concept of it and am very proud what I just learned!! I willl definetely subscribe to this channel from now on. All the very best Emilio!!
I am working for VMware for 4 full months now as a web developer. I really had no clue for what and how exactly the products that the company develops are used. I am even working with the vSphere Client and HCX Migration tool on staging and dev environments.
Little bit confused about Vmware providing virtualization. Let me get this right, so we still have to go out and buy at least one "hardware server" with the RAM and CPU and Vmware is allowing us to build more "virtual servers" using that "hardware server's" resources being the RAM and CPU?
Thanks for sharing. Im trying to to get skilled in vmware/vsphere so I can help our vmware guy more as well as become familiar with our cisco apps thats on vms. I am also taking a udemy course on vmware too. I think I saw a couple of your courses on udemy too a while back. This looks very helpful.
good vid.. Do u know or familiar w Sun's Solaris zones ?? Sun's hypervisor its proprietary virtual os. came out back like 2009-10 on Solaris v10, 11... Solaris 11 zfs zones still around kicking today. Now owned by Oracle .. Sun long gone. Did u ever do anything Solaris or on Sun hw? Is vmWare similar to Sun zones ? How can u test demo play w a vmWare box or system online without paying buying sw hw license ???? thxx great help!
I'm not an expert at Zones, but I read a bit about them just now and they seem to be very similar to Jails in FreeBSD or stuff you can do with cgroups in Linux. So, unless I'm very mistaken: It's not a hypervisor. There's only one Solaris kernel running. Each zone has what looks like its own install of Solaris (which often is just a filesystem trick that overlays an OS on top of the existing Solaris filesystems) and boots sort of like a VM, but without a lot of the hardware setup. The Solaris kernel partitions off different processes by zone, separating everything including things like IPC. The amount of partitioning is configurable, so you can have as much security and separation as you like. So there's no virtualization happening with Zones at all. It's a lot more like multiple versions of Solaris running on the same kernel. One nifty thing is that there's an emulation layer you can use in a Zone to translate Linux syscalls into Solaris syscalls. This allows you to run a Linux environment inside a Zone without actually running a Linux kernel. If you'd like to play with them without forking out a ton of money to Oracle, Illuminos (the open source fork of Solaris) supports them.
I wonder if it's useful to have esxi at home: I use my personal computer for gaming, and developing just a little (I already work as a .net developer, so my free time with my pc isn't mainly for developing, but for gaming xd) and playing sometimes with other os... I have an I5 with 16GB of ram and a GTX 1650... Is it worth the effort to install esxi and virtualize everything ? Thanks...
You download the VCSA iso to your workstation/laptop and use the ui installer to deploy the vcenter appliance into the host. This will create a vCenter Server VM on the host. But mind you it needs min 2 cores and 12 gb to be assigned to this vcenter appliance vm.
Hey, can you help me with this question please :-) : what is the easiest or fastest way to get a report from all ESXI machines about the workload CPU/Memory/GB usage of all of them? but listed to each ESXI. Instead of clicking each single Server in my vCenter?
what type of companies benefit from this? I kind of got that it's great, but how would it in practicality work? Who would need it? I was just looking for a new email provider and ended up here LOL, but it's interesting
Any company that has more than a handful of servers can benefit from virtualization. One advantage you get is that you separate your hardware from your servers. Whenever you upgrade or change your hardware, you set up the new hardware, migrate the VMs over, and you're done. You can also get redundancy, depending on your setup. If you're running a NAS, you can have several hypervisors running and move the VMs between them at will. If one hypervisor dies, another can automatically spin up that VM. That takes some extra coordination, but there's software (Microsoft's infamous Failover Cluster) and hardware (see Stratus for an example) solutions that can do this sort of thing. Another advantage is that a lot of servers don't need much in the way of resources. A domain controller today doesn't do a whole lost more than domain controllers did 20 years ago on Windows 2000. Unless you have a relatively large network, putting it by itself on modern hardware with tons of RAM is a waste. Better to virtualize it so it shares the same hardware as other lightweight servers. You can keep old server images around for reference. Copy the old VM off a site before installing a new one. If something on the new one doesn't work, you can spin up the old one and see how it used to work. I do this all the time, upgrading clients from FactoryLink (which went EOL back in 2007) to Wonderware. They're also useful for software that won't run on modern operating systems. I deal a lot with 20+ year old industrial hardware, and it's not uncommon to have software that won't run on anything newer than Windows XP. A VM of Windows XP is a lot more reliable than a crusty old laptop with 14 years of technicians' sandwich crumbs in the keyboard. My company develops and maintains industrial control systems that use multiple servers on each site. Once installed, these are usually firewalled off from the world so they're inaccessible from our end. We keep a virtual copy of our clients' systems on a server. If a tech at one of those sites calls us, we can spin up our copy of their site and investigate problems on our end. As a plus, if a client requests a change, we can change our copy, test everything, and then install it at their site with minimal downtime on their part. So yeah, VMs are nice. I was late to the game and skeptical at first, but I'm a convert today. I suspect I'd be less likely to use them on UNIX/Linux since there are better options there (Docker, Kubernates, Jails, etc.), but on Windows they're great.
Hi Emilio, firstly, love your content!} Could you please make a video on VxRail vSAN sometime soon? I have been really confused by it, even after watching all the other videos on RU-vid. Thanks in advance!
Any 1 know if VMware vSphere can use DX12 games ? Also I like how vmwear lets me assign separate mouse to each vm. Does VMware vSphere let me assign a different mouse for each vm ? Also if it can do gpu partitioning like Hyper-V does ?
Hi I like the way you explain things and want to sign up for your udemy course. However I want to ask if you might have a discount code if you're so kind? :)
hey N N, thanks for the comment. Here is a discount code that you or anyone here can use. It's valid for 4 days. www.udemy.com/course/learnvmware/?couponCode=31629BC8D8830CA52885
