Session Logistics
First of three webcasts designed to provide a high level overview of basic install and configuration tasks.
All questions need to be submitted in the Q&A window and will be answered during the broadcast by the VMware Education team After webcast, Q&A will be located in community forums at the following location: http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/vsphere/quickstart? view=overview For more in-depth training go to: www.vmware.com/education
Parts of these presentations are from vSphere 5: Install, Configure, Manage AND/OR vSphere 5: Whats New Find out schedules, enroll in advanced training, learn about VCP, VCAPDCA, VCAP-DCD and VCDX certification
Session Objectives
Demonstrate & discuss ESXi installation Demonstrate browser access to an ESXi host Demonstrate vSphere Client based navigation Demonstrate & configure vNetwork elements Demonstrate & discuss configuration of vStorage elements Demonstrate basic construction of virtual machine using virtual hardware version 8
ESXi is a bare-metal, efficient, and reliable hypervisor running directly on server. ESXi abstracts CPU, memory, storage, and networking into multiple virtual machines.

ESXi Architecture
Directs network traffic between virtual machines and links to external networks. Combines the bandwidth of multiple network adapters and balances traffic among them. It can also handle physical network interface card (NIC) failover. Models a physical Ethernet switch:

Physical NIC
A virtual machines NIC can connect to a port. Each uplink adapter uses one port.

vSwitch Examples
Different networks can coexist on the same virtual switch. Or they can exist on separate virtual switches.

Datastore
A datastore is logical storage unit, which can use disk space on one physical device or one disk partition, or span several physical devices.
ESX host
Types of datastores:
VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) Raw device mappings (RDMs) Network File System (NFS)
VM content
Datastore
Volume
Datastores are used to hold virtual machines, templates, ISO images, and, in the case of RDMs, raw data.
