by Samuel Mitchell, posted in VMware

The following notes will assist you to prepare for this objective:

  • What is efficient?
    • Think about vCenter inventory hierarchy and its organization
    • Parents/children/siblings
  • What constructs do you have available to you to organize objects?
    • Datacenter object
    • Cluster object
    • Folder object
    • Resource pool
    • vApp
  • Be aware of dependency
    • Can you create a cluster before a datacenter?
    • Can you put a datacenter in a folder?
    • Try these simple operations in your test lab
  • Are there any constraints on inventory object creation?
    • Resource pools and vApps have scope
  • Can you scale beyond a vCenter?
