VxRail Installation and Implementation

EDU Trainings s.r.o.

Popis kurzu

This course presents VxRail Installation and Implementation procedures. It covers implementation planning, hardware installation, validation of the network environment, system initialization, post-deployment tasks, cluster expansion, and implementation troubleshooting. Interactive simulations, video demonstrations, and labs are used to supply a step-by-step walkthrough of the key installation and implementation procedures. VxRail customers who wish to take this course to self-deploy their VxRail system should contact their Dell account manager for more details about the current customer self-installation process requirements (Specifically, the request for product qualification, RPQ) Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:

Plan for a VxRail deployment.
Create a VxRail cluster configuration with the VxRail Configuration Portal.
Generate VxRail installation procedures with SolVe.
Rack and cable VxRail hardware.
