What Can You Achieve with This Training?

Develop a structured approach to diagnosing installation, upgrade, and operational issues in VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 environments.
Use VCF Operations, log files, and Troubleshooting Workbench to investigate errors and identify potential root causes.
Troubleshoot performance, connectivity, and configuration issues affecting ESX, vCenter, vSAN, and networking components.
Investigate failures related to workload domains, licensing, certificate management, and VCF Automation.
Strengthen your troubleshooting capabilities for vSphere Supervisor and vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) deployments.

The VMware Cloud Foundation Troubleshooting [V9.1] Training is a five-day, hands-on technical course focused on identifying, analysing, and resolving issues in VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 environments.

Participants learn structured VCF troubleshooting techniques, including how to locate and interpret relevant log files, investigate system behaviour, and examine the root causes of technical problems. The course combines instructor-led explanations with practical laboratory exercises to support troubleshooting in realistic operational scenarios.

Core topics include VCF Operations monitoring and diagnostics, new deployment troubleshooting, upgrade issues, licensing problems, and workload domain operations. The programme also addresses issues affecting VMware Cloud Foundation Compute, Networking, and vSAN Storage.

Advanced modules examine certificate management, VCF Automation deployments, vSphere Supervisor, and vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS). Participants explore how component logs, performance data, and monitoring tools can be used to investigate problems across different parts of the platform.

Designed for experienced technical professionals, this course helps develop the troubleshooting knowledge required to support the reliability and operational continuity of VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 infrastructure.
