What is vShield app?

vShield App vShield App is an interior, vNIC-level firewall that allows users to create access control policies regardless of network topology. A vShield App monitors all traffic in and out of an ESX host, including that between virtual machines in the same port group.

What is vShield endpoint?

VMware vShield™ Endpoint strengthens security for virtual machines while improving performance for endpoint protection by orders of magnitude. vShield Endpoint offloads antivirus and anti-malware agent processing to a dedicated secure virtual appliance delivered by VMware partners.

What is NSX vShield?

Purpose. VMware vShield Endpoint lets you manage anti-virus and anti-malware policies for virtualized environments with the same management interfaces you use to secure physical infrastructure.

What is vMotion and how it works?

VMotion is VMWare’s technology that enables a virtual computer to be moved from one physical host server to another, while it is running and with no interruption in service. This technology is sometimes called “live migration”.

What is vSphere replication appliance?

vSphere Replication is a deeply integrated VMware vSphere component. It is a robust hypervisor-based virtual machine replication engine. Changed data in virtual machine disks for a running virtual machine at a primary site is sent to a secondary site.

How many types of vMotion are there?

There are two types of vMotion, host and storage. Host vMotion is the live migration of the OS, and network transactions, from one hypervisor to another. Storage vMotion is the live migration of a running virtual machine’s file system from one storage system to another. Both types of vMotion are supported by Guardium.

Why vMotion is required?

vMotion enables IT departments to migrate individual VMs from a private data center to a public cloud as needed. Be sure the cloud provider can match both the hardware and software requirements for compatibility. Alternatively, migrating powered-off VMs reduces the compatibility requirements.

What is the difference between SRM and vSphere replication?

vSphere Replication can be used independently or included in the VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) for disaster recovery plans. vSphere Replication license is included in vSphere Enterprise Plus, while SRM is an independent product and is a per VM or per CPU (as part of vCloud Suite Enterprise) license.

How does VM replication work?

When you configure a virtual machine for replication, the vSphere Replication agent sends changed blocks in the virtual machine disks from the source site to the target site. The changed blocks are applied to the copy of the virtual machine. This process occurs independently of the storage layer.

What are the two types of vMotion?

How vMotion works step by step?

The VMware vMotion process is completed in three steps:

1. The virtual machine health is verified to be stable by vCenter Server.
2. The memory, registers, and network connections are copied to the target host (virtual machine state)
3. The virtual machine is then able to resume operations on the new target host.

Which port used for vMotion?

8000 TCP
ESXi 5. x

Port	Protocol	Purpose
8000	TCP	Requests from vMotion
8000	TCP	Requests from vMotion
8100	TCP/UDP	Traffic between hosts for vSphere Fault Tolerance (FT)
8182	TCP/UDP	Traffic between hosts for vSphere High Availability (vSphere HA)
