Why Virtualization Is Important Part Two
Tom Silver, senior VP and chief marketing officer
for the technology jobs Web site Dice.com, says
that the total job count for his site was down
12 percent from January 2008 through the first
week of November. But for those with
virtualization experience, including both VMware
and general skills, available jobs increased by

  _io_guide.pdf )
• A minimum of 1 VMware supported Fibre Channel
  adapter per server (http//www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_
  san_guide.pdf)

38
Server, Storage Network Infrastructure

• Storage Requirements
• 1 x shared NAS device listed on the VMware SAN
  compatibility guide (see http//www.vmware.com/pdf
  /vi3_san_guide.pdf) or use of a customised NFS
  server
• 1 x Fibre Channel switch Storage Area Network
  (on VMware certified device list see
  http//www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_san_guide.pdf) .
  This array must be capable of having a minimum of
  3 dedicated LUNs (10GB each) for each server 2
  shared LUNs 100GB each for use by all servers.
• Sufficient Fibre Channel switches to connect the
  servers to the storage array.

39

Server, Storage Network Infrastructure

• Network Requirements
• All student server networking components
  should be 1 Gbps network connected and
  appropriate network isolation should be in place
  (i.e. ESX server management training network
  separated from academy production network)
• NAS / IP Storage device should be connected to
  the ESX server management network
• Static IP address allocation scheme for specific
  components (4 per server recommended) DHCP
  addressing capabilities to cater for up to 10 IP
  addresses per physical ESX host for virtual
  machines created during the class exercises)
• Virtual Center Server Requirements
• Sufficient hardware (virtual or physical) to run
  a Windows 2003 Virtual Machine per ESX server
  within the classroom environment. VMware
  recommends these Virtual Center servers be run as
  VMs on top of a common ESX host within the
  training environment.

Server, Storage Network Infrastructure

• Classroom Computer Requirements
• Standard x86 PCs with Intel or AMD processors
  (500 Mhz or better recommended) capable of

  by remote capability. For this VMware recommends
  use of VMwares secure Virtual Desktop
  Infrastructure capability through VMware View 3
  capability.
