3 Startup policies for services

1. Start and stop with port usage
2. Start and stop with host
3. Start and stop manually

What service startup policy will preserve settings across host reboots?

Start and stop manually

VMware recommended service startup policy

start and stop with port usage

Access modes that won't work when host in lockdown (3)

vSphere CLI


vMA


vSphere client (direct connection)

Access modes that will work when in Lockdown Mode (4)

ESXi Shell


SSH


DCUI


vSphere Client via vCenter Server

3 ways of enabling Lockdown mode

When adding host to vCenter Server


via DCUI


with client/web Client

Difference in enabling Lockdown mode via DCUI vs vSphere Client/Web Client

DCUI - discards local permissions on host


Client - Preserves local host permissions

Prerequisites for adding ESXi host to Directory service (3)

* Domain controllers and domain name must be resolvable
* ESXi hostname is fully qualified with Domain name
* Time synchronized (preferably with NTP

2 Methods for adding ESXi host to AD

1. vSphere Authentication Proxy
2. Active Directory Creds

Steps for adding ESXi host to AD (2)

* Join Host to Domain
* Add admin creds to Host

2 ways to enter Domain name (Where does it put the object?)

Name.Domain - Puts in Default Location


Name.Domain/Container/Path - Puts in specified location


How are ESXi specific permissions managed?

Client/Web client connected directly to the host

2 types of users in vSphere Environment

1. Direct-Access users


2. vCenter Server users

How are Direct-Access and vCenter Server users related?

Completely independent (no relationship)

What is/isn't integrated with SSO?

web client is


traditional client and ESXi hosts arent

How can user and group lists be exported (formats)

HTML, XML, XLS, CSV

what is a priviledge

defines individual user rights

what is a role?

collection of privileges

3 default system roles

* No access
* Read Only
* Administrator

6 Sample Roles

* VM User
* VM Power user
* Resource Pool administrator
* VMware Consolidated Backup User
* Datastore Consumer
* Network Administrator

Best practice for modifying sample roles

Copy them

Can System roles be modified?

No

What is a permission

a role paired with a user/group, and attached to an object

2 forms of permissions. Difference?

* Managed Entities - Can have permissions assigned
* Global Entities - Cannot have permissions assigned

Examples of Managed Entities

Clusters, Datacenters, Folders, Hosts

Examples of Global Entities

licenses, roles, custom fields.

How to make permissions propagate

Check "Propagate to Child Objects" Check box in the Assign Permissions window

How are multiple permissions handled?

* Objects can only have one permission per user/group
* Can inherit multiple from multiple parents
* user will have the union of the permissions

vSphere Architecture Layers

1. Virtualization
2. Management
3. Interface

Virtualization Layer

x86 servers with ESXi Hypervisor

Management Layer

vCenter Server and Associated services

Interface Layer

Applications that provide functionality, such as vShere client and vSphere CLI

Cluster

Container aggregates resources of hosts in the cluster

Resource Pool;

Logically partitions resources of an ESXi host or cluster

Plug-ins included with base vCenter product (3)

vCenter Storage Monitoring


vCenter Hardware Status


vCenter Service status

AD group to add before ESXi host can use it

ESX Admins
