It covers the basic steps needed to create a vSphere HA and vSphere DRS cluster and to implement vSphere Storage DRS. VMware vSphere 5.0 Clustering Technical Deepdive zooms in on three key components of every VMware based infrastructure and is by no means a “how to” guide. Each section contains basic design principles that can be used for designing, implementing or improving VMware infrastructures. HA admission control policies, DRS resource pools, Datastore Clusters and resource allocation settings. This book will take you in to the trenches of HA, DRS and Storage DRS and will give you the tools to understand and implement e.g. Besides a brand new stretched cluster use case section it includes a fully rewritten Storage DRS section, and new details on both vSphere HA and vSphere DRS. It explains the concepts and mechanisms behind HA, DRS and Storage DRS which will enable you to make well educated decisions. It provides the knowledge and expertise needed to create a cloud infrastructure based on the solid foundation of vSphere HA, vSphere DRS and vSphere Storage DRS. VMware vSphere 5.1 Clustering Deepdive is the follow-up to best seller vSphere 5.0 Clustering Deepdive and zooms in on three key components of every VMware based infrastructure and. Why Intel’s Data Plane Development Kit significantly boosts packet processing performance.Tune VMkernel components to optimize performance for VXLAN network traffic and NFV environments.What queues are and where they live inside the end-to-end storage data paths.Why 3D XPoint is perfect for the vSAN caching tier.How TLB works and why it is bad to disable large pages in virtualized environments.How the 3-DIMMs per Channel configuration results in a 10-20% performance drop.Discover how vSphere Balanced Power Management takes advantage of the CPU Turbo Boost functionality, and why High Performance does not.Optimize your workload for current and future Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) systems.This book explains the concepts and mechanisms behind the physical resource components and the VMkernel resource schedulers, which enables you to: It’s about understanding them end-to-end. It’s about having a passion for these details. Knowing your systems inside and out is the only way to be sure you’ve properly handled those details. Especially for distributed platforms which abstract resource layers, such as NSX and vSAN. The reality is that specifics of the infrastructure matter. We can make the currently running ones consistently faster by deeply understanding and optimizing our systems. This book shows that we can fundamentally and materially improve the systems we’re building. Written for administrators, architects, consultants, aspiring VCDX-es and people eager to learn more about the elements that control the behavior of CPU, memory, storage and network resources. The VMware vSphere 6.5 Host Resources Deep Dive is a guide to building consistent high-performing ESXi hosts.
