In this chapter, we will discuss how to design a vSphere Virtual Datacenter to meet the needs of the business. In general, a Virtual datacenter is the logical boundary of the highest level. A virtual datacenter may be used to delineate separate physical sites/locations or vSphere infrastructures with completely independent purposes. Within vSphere datacenters, allocating compute resources to the virtual machine and protecting the application and services is done by VMware vCenter server, virtual cluster.

Overview of this book
<p>vSphere Storage is one of the three main infrastructure components of a vSphere deployment (Compute, Storage, and Network).</p>
<p>Mastering VMware vSphere Storage begins with an insightful introduction to virtualization and creating your own virtual machines. We then talk about VMware vCenter Server and virtual machine management, as well as managing vSphere 5 using vSphere Management Assistant (vMA) and esxcli and vmware-cmd commands. We then swiftly move on to a very interesting topic, reviewing the vSphere performance and troubleshooting methodology. We then configure VM storage profiles, Storage DRS, and Storage I/O control. More significantly, we will troubleshoot and analyze storage using the VMware CLI and learn how to configure iSCSI storage.</p>
<p>By the end of the book, you will be able to identify useful information to make virtual machine and virtual data center design decisions.</p>
