Last night, I was invited by Cody Bunch (@cody_bunch) from ProfessionalVMware.com to exhibit my home lab for a series of VCAP related questions. Cody has a series of brown bag podcasts for VCP and VCAP study sessions.
A few weeks ago, Cody posted this article VCAP DCA Voucher Give Away – Round 2, Live Lab and I put my name in the drawing. I was the lucky chosen one (the only one 
) to exhibit my live lab in front of a few audience members. I had to prove the following:
The Lab
Scenario:
Your company has purchased 3 servers and an iSCSI SAN as an additional production cluster. As administrator you must complete the following tasks:
- Configure the hosts for availability and resource distribution
- Enable future growth for the hosts
- Enable power savings
- Ensure the configuration of all hosts is consistent and auditable
- Configure iSCSI to support production work loads
- In addition to iSCSI, you must also support an HA Web network segment
Kelly Culwell (@kculw) found an error in my configuration about setting MPIO for my iSCSI connection. I need to create a second VMkenerl port and perhaps do some round-robin action. The only thing I wish my NAS had was a 2nd interface, but I can get by.
You can watch the recorded session below... enjoy!
