In this chapter, you learned about the components of the VMware vSphere ESXi architecture, what VMM is, and how to configure software and hardware techniques with VMM in the virtual machine. We then covered how to view the vCenter performance chart and use the esxtop utility to analyze any performance problems.
In the next chapter, we will look at VMware vSphere APIs for array integration (VAAI) and VMware vSphere APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA). Also, you will learn how to configure the vSphere Storage DRS and storage I/O control in a vSphere ESXi host.
