VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) Basic Lab Configuration
Lab Configuration So the first part of this series is to quickly cover the lab environment. Now the majority of people who are seasoned lab users will probably skip this as all the information is available in many other already published series. But those who are new or following this to create their own environments for the first time might find the information useful.
As previously mentioned I was rushing to create and document the environment and I missed a number of key configuration items that caused the deployments to fail, costing me time. The biggest issue I had was the use of snapshots and remembering what these included and did not when I had to roll back, the amount of times I made a change, forgot to document it and when I reverted caused me the same issue again was frustrating but it certainly blew the cobwebs away and got me back into the labs with a bang. Once you have done this a couple of times it all becomes second nature especially when you remember to document it all and put proper notes in the snaps.
