Design, build, and protect your clusters with ease with VxRail,
Dell's hyper-converged infrastructure solution, and this
comprehensive in-depth guide Key Features Combine your
virtualization systems into one with this comprehensive guide to
VxRail Protect against data loss with a variety of backup,
replication, and recovery options Take your virtualization skills
to the next level thanks to Dell's hyper-converged infrastructure
Book DescriptionVirtualized systems are well established now, and
their disparate components can be found bundled together in
hyper-converged infrastructures, such as VxRail from Dell EMC. Dell
VxRail System Design and Best Practices will take you, as a system
architect or administrator, through the process of designing and
protecting VxRail systems. While this book assumes a certain level
of knowledge of VMware, vSphere 7.x, and vCenter Server, you'll get
a thorough overview of VxRail's components, features, and
architecture, as well as a breakdown of the benefits of this
hyper-converged system. This guide will give you an in-depth
understanding of VxRail, as well as plenty of practical examples
and self-assessment questions along the way to help you plan and
design every core component of a VxRail system - from vSAN storage
policies to cluster expansion. It's no good having a great system
if you lose everything when it breaks, so you'll spend some time
examining advanced recovery options, such as VMware Site Recovery
Manager and Veeam Backup and Replication. By the end of this book,
you will have got to grips with Dell's hyper-converged VxRail
offering, taking your virtualization proficiency to the next level.
What you will learn Design vSAN storage policies Scale-out and
expand clusters Design stretched clusters Protect your system with
VMware Site Recovery Manager Discover how to configure EMC
RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines Integrate Veeam Backup and
Replication with VxRail Set up a vSAN 2-node cluster Who this book
is forThis book is for system architects, system administrators, or
consultants involved in planning and designing VxRail HCI. The
reader is expected to have equivalent knowledge and administration
experience with VMware vSphere 7. x and vCenter Server 7.x.
Plan, design, deploy, and administer the solutions available in
VxRail Appliance Key Features 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 Book DescriptionHyper-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. 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) Who this book is forIf 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.
Over 40 practical recipes to get your hands dirty with the powerful
Cisco UCS and overcome various challenges About This Book * Master
the skills of minimizing cost, enabling your business to work
faster by reducing cycle times for reporting and improving overall
revenue * Work through hands-on recipes for efficient deployment
approaches, see computing techniques, and explore new operational
models with UCS * Render a better work-flow management, ensure
effective monitoring, and learn new deployment paradigms for the
operational infrastructure with the help of this book Who This Book
Is For This book is for competent system/network or storage
administrators who are working with Cisco UCS, but now want to
learn new ways to compute UCS. What You Will Learn * Familiarize
yourself with information on the latest information on memory
management practices, virtualization architectures, and the
specific technical advantages of UCS * Get a concrete understanding
of integrating processes and techniques to ensure effective
convergence of LAN/SAN * Get to know the best practices of Cisco
UCS, EMC Storage, and VMware vSphere * Master migrating data from
other band servers or Blade to Cisco UCS * Comprehend how to
replicate and back up UCS to remote sites UCS * Assimilate
innovative techniques to deploy UCS to leverage its full potential
* Gather information on installing and configuring automatic and
manual Pinning * Discover ways to integrate a system in Cisco UCS
In Detail Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) is a data center
server platform that is used for computing, deploying, and storing
resources in data center environments. This cookbook aims to teach
you about various tasks you can implement to improve your existing
method of configuring and deploying UCS. You will start by learning
how to upgrade your firmware on Brocade and Cisco Fibre Channel
Switch and will move on to enhance your knowledge of LAN
connectivity. We will then discuss how to configure Windows 2008
and 2012 local boot in Cisco UCS. Next, you will learn how to
install the operating system on Cisco UCS and use Cisco UCS Power
Calculator to calculate the UCS consumption. Finally, we'll take a
look at backup solutions. By the end of the book, you will know
several ways to build and compute in data center environment using
Cisco UCS. Style and approach This guide explains every task in a
conversational and easy-to-follow style. You can open this book up
to the task you want to learn and will be able to perform that task
by the end of the recipe.
