With scores of step-by-step solutions, this cookbook helps you work with
VMware ESXi in a wide range of network environments. You'll not only
learn the basics--how to pool resources from hardware servers, computer
clusters, networks, and storage, and then distribute them among virtual
machines--but also how to overcome the stumbling blocks you'll encounter
when you monitor systems, troubleshoot problems, and deal with security.
