Chapter6: Which are the steps to deploy a virtual machine from a VM Template in a Content Library?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Navigate to Menu > Content Libraries.

2. To open a content library, click its name.

3. On the Templates tab, right-click a VM Template and select New VM from This Template.The Deploy From VM Template wizard opens.

4. On the Select a name and folder page, enter a name and select a location for the virtual machine.

5. On the Select a compute resource page, select a host, a cluster, a resource pool, or a vApp where to run the deployed VM template, and click Next.

6. On the Select storage page, select the datastore or datastore cluster in which to store the virtual machine configuration files and all virtual disks

7. Click Next.

8. On the Select deploy options page, apply a customization specification to the virtual machine and click Next.

9. (Optional) On the Customize guest OS page, select a customization specification to apply to the virtual machine.Customizing the guest operating system helps prevent conflicts that can result if you or other users deploy virtual machines with identical settings, such as duplicate computer names.

10. (Optional) On the User settings page, specify the required settings for the virtual machine.This page of the wizard appears only if the selected specification requires additional customization.

11. (Optional) On the Customize hardware page, configure the virtual machine hardware and options and click Next

chapter 6-- Compare when you would use a clone vs a template

# data[].attributes.body
Template acts as a baseline image for a Virtual Machine with the predefined configurations as per your organization's standards. Cloning a Virtual Machine creates an exact duplicate copy of the Virtual Machine with the same configuration and installed software without performing any additional settings.

Chapter 8-Discuss the response of vSphere HA when an ESXi host, a virtual machine, or an application fails

# data[].attributes.body
When a host fails, vSphere HA restarts the impacted virtual machines on other hosts.

When a virtual machine stops sending heartbeats or the virtual machine process crashes , vSphere HA resets the virtual machine.

When an application fails, vSphere HA restarts the impacted virtual machine on the same host

CHAPTER 6-Define what a virtual machine clone is and what a virtual machine template is in vCenter.

# data[].attributes.body
Cloning a virtual machine creates a virtual machine that is a copy of the original. The new virtual machine is configured with the same virtual hardware, installed software, and other properties that were configured for the original virtual machine.
A virtual machine template is a master copy of a virtual machine that usually includes the guest OS, a set of applications, and a specific VM configuration. Virtual machine templates are used when you need to deploy many VMs and ensure that they are are consistent and standardized.

# data[].attributes.body
Creating vsphere HA cluster helps to establish vSphere environment highly available.

1. In the vSphere Web Client, browse to the data center where you want the cluster to reside and click Create a Cluster.

2. Complete the New Cluster wizard.Do not turn on vSphere HA (or DRS).

3. Click OK to close the wizard and create an empty cluster.

4. Based on your plan for the resources and networking architecture of the cluster, use the vSphere Web Client to add hosts to the cluster.

5. Browse to the cluster and enable vSphere HA.

1. Click the Configure tab.

2. Select vSphere Availability and click Edit.

3. Select Turn ON vSphere HA.

4. Select Turn ON Proactive HA to allow proactive migrations of VMs from hosts on which a provider has notified a health degradation.

6. Under Failures and Responses select Enable Host MonitoringWith Host Monitoring enabled, hosts in the cluster can exchange network heartbeats and vSphere HA can take action when it detects failures. Host Monitoring is required for the vSphere Fault Tolerance recovery process to work properly.

7. Select a setting for VM Monitoring.Select VM Monitoring Only to restart individual virtual machines if their heartbeats are not received within a set time. You can also select VM and Application Monitoring to enable application monitoring.

8. Click OK.

What would this alarm mean? "vSphere HA virtual machine failed to failover"?
A high availability primary agent depicIts that a host has dead ,then the alarm is triggered and that means that one or more virtual machines failed to gather power on by the host machine.

Chapter 8:What type of network traffic is used by vSphere for high availability?

# data[].attributes.body
Management Network Traffic, which means that uses network monitoring tools and management techniques such as bandwidth monitoring, deep packet inspection and application based routing to ensure optimal network operation. In doing so it helps maximize the performance and security of existing networks.
