VMware vSphere 4.1 HA and DRS Technical Deepdive zooms in on two key
components of every VMware based infrastructure and is by no means a "how to"
guide. It covers the basic steps needed to create a VMware HA and DRS cluster,
but even more important explains the concepts and mechanisms behind HA and DRS
which will enable you to make well educated decisions. This book will take you
in to the trenches of HA and DRS and will give you the tools to understand and
implement e.g. HA admission control policies, DRS resource pools and resource
allocation settings. On top of that each section contains basic design
principles that can be used for designing, implementing or improving VMware
infrastructures. This book is also the ultimate guide to be prepared for any
HA or DRS related questions and case studies that might be presented during
VMware VCDX, VCP and or VCAP exams.

Coverage includes:

HA node types
HA isolation detection and response
HA admission control
VM Monitoring
HA and DRS integration
DRS imbalance algorithm
Resource Pools
