Program Abstract

REF: VCP-TS-V8 6
Curriculum aligned to the latest Exam Outline.
Format Live, Instructor-Led
Duration 5

Fix vSphere When It Breaks.

This intensive 5-day boot camp builds the systematic troubleshooting skills experienced VMware administrators need when production environments stop behaving. You’ll work through ESXi host, vCenter Server, and virtual machine diagnostics, storage connectivity and performance issue resolution, network configuration troubleshooting, and vSphere Cluster, HA, DRS, and vMotion problem solving. Heavy emphasis on log analysis and command-line tools so you can diagnose issues, not just describe them. Built for administrators and engineers who already operate vSphere and need to fix it under pressure.

Systematic Methodology.

This isn’t a list of error codes to memorize. You learn a repeatable diagnostic methodology, isolate the layer, read the right logs, run the right CLI commands, that works across host, network, and storage issues.

Full vSphere Stack.

Cover ESXi host, vCenter Server, VM, storage, networking, and cluster-level (HA, DRS, vMotion) troubleshooting. Every layer you’ll actually see fail in production gets dedicated lab time.

CLI Confidence.

Heavy command-line work with esxcli, PowerCLI, and the log files that matter. The GUI doesn’t always tell you what’s actually wrong; you leave able to diagnose from the shell when the dashboard isn’t enough.
