Who This Book Is For

If you are an administrator of a VMware vSphere infrastructure and want to simplify storage delivery by integrating storage into vSphere, this book is for you. No extensive storage background is needed as VMware Virtual SAN integrates into the existing vSphere solutions with which you are already familiar.

What You Will Learn

• Prepare your infrastructure for VMware Virtual SAN
• Plan and build infrastructure solutions to suit your needs
• Implement VMware Virtual SAN
• Exploit the power of policy-based management
• Increase or decrease the scale of your Virtual SAN as needs change
• Monitor your Virtual SAN infrastructure effectively
• Respond to and troubleshoot problems

In Detail

VMware Virtual SAN is a radically simple, hypervisor-converged storage, designed and optimized for vSphere virtual infrastructure. VMware introduced the software to help customers store more and more virtual machines.

As data centers continue to evolve and grow, managing infrastructure becomes more challenging. Traditional storage solutions like monolithic storage arrays and complex management are often ill-suited to the needs of the modern data center. Software-defined storage solutions, like VMware Virtual SAN, integrate the storage side of the infrastructure with the server side, and can simplify management and improve flexibility.

This book is a detailed guide which provides you with the knowledge you need to successfully implement and manage VMware VSAN and deployed infrastructures.

You will start with an introduction to VSAN and object storage, before moving on to hardware selection, critical to a successful VSAN deployment. Next, you will discover how to prepare your existing infrastructure to support your VSAN deployment and explore Storage policy-Based Management, including policy changes, maintenance, validation, and troubleshooting VSAN. Finally, the book provides recipes to expedite the resolution process and gather all the information required to pursue a rapid resolution.

A practical guide to implementing VMware Virtual SAN filled with recipes, tips, and detailed explanations.

這本書是一本完美的指南，教你如何成功實施和操作VMware Virtual SAN，並提供了一系列的步驟指南。

關於本書：
- 從選擇硬體到完整容量，設計一個Virtual SAN基礎架構。
- 使用VMware Virtual SAN部署和管理軟體定義儲存解決方案。
- 隨著企業的成長和發展，準備架構和規模的變更。

本書適合對VMware vSphere基礎架構的管理員，希望通過將儲存整合到vSphere中來簡化儲存交付的人。不需要廣泛的儲存背景，因為VMware Virtual SAN與您已經熟悉的現有vSphere解決方案整合在一起。

你將學到：
- 為VMware Virtual SAN準備基礎架構。
- 計劃和建立符合您需求的基礎架構解決方案。
- 實施VMware Virtual SAN。
- 利用基於策略的管理的優勢。
- 根據需求變化增加或減少您的Virtual SAN規模。
- 有效監控您的Virtual SAN基礎架構。
- 回應和解決問題。

VMware Virtual SAN是一個簡單易用的虛擬化基礎架構儲存解決方案，專為vSphere虛擬基礎架構設計和優化。VMware推出這個軟體是為了幫助客戶存儲越來越多的虛擬機器。

隨著數據中心的不斷演進和增長，管理基礎架構變得更加具有挑戰性。傳統的儲存解決方案，如單機儲存陣列和複雜的管理方式，往往不適合現代數據中心的需求。軟體定義儲存解決方案，如VMware Virtual SAN，將儲存和伺服器整合在一起，可以簡化管理並提高靈活性。

本書是一本詳細的指南，提供了成功實施和管理VMware VSAN和部署基礎架構所需的知識。

你將從VSAN和物件儲存的介紹開始，然後進行硬體選擇，這對於成功部署VSAN至關重要。接下來，你將了解如何準備現有基礎架構以支援VSAN部署，並探索基於策略的儲存管理，包括策略變更、維護、驗證和故障排除VSAN。最後，本書提供了一些解決問題的方法和收集所需信息以迅速解決問題的食譜。

本書以實用的方式介紹了實施VMware Virtual SAN的方法，並提供了食譜、技巧和詳細的解釋。
