VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Troubleshooting Training
VMware Cloud Foundation: Troubleshooting [V9.0] is a five-day live online course focused on diagnosing problems across VCF infrastructure. Strengthen your ability to investigate failures, interpret logs and connect symptoms across deployment, upgrades, licensing, workload domains, compute, storage, networking and integrated operations.
Why take this course?
Effective troubleshooting requires more than recognizing an error message. Learn to organize an investigation across platform components, use diagnostic evidence and distinguish an observed symptom from its underlying cause. The course helps experienced infrastructure and support professionals build a more systematic approach to restoring healthy private cloud operations.
Course curriculum
1. Deployment troubleshooting
Investigate problems encountered while deploying a VCF environment and identify relevant diagnostic evidence.
2. Upgrade and installation errors
Review failures during installation or upgrade activities and examine dependencies that may affect completion.
3. Licensing and entitlements
Analyze licensing-related symptoms and investigate the information needed to isolate the issue.
4. Workload domains
Diagnose domain deployment and configuration problems across the supporting infrastructure.
5. Compute and virtualization
Investigate ESX, vCenter and virtual machine issues within the broader VCF environment.
6. vSAN and storage
Review storage health, interpret symptoms and use available evidence to guide a storage investigation.
7. Virtual networking
Troubleshoot connectivity and networking problems affecting platform services or workloads.
8. Operations and fleet management
Investigate VCF Operations issues and review authentication and password management considerations.
9. VCF Automation
Examine automation failures and relate service symptoms to relevant diagnostic information.
10. Logs and diagnostic techniques
Use logs and command-line tools to organize evidence, test possible causes and support an escalation or resolution.

Prerequisites
Bring familiarity with VCF concepts and administration and confidence using command-line tools. Foundational technical-support training will help you follow the investigations. The supplied source mentions VMware Cloud Foundation Fundamentals for Technical Support and a Support Learning Path Stage-1; confirm their current applicability with Fidelis before booking.
Certification and exam planning
The VMware Certified Professional – VMware Cloud Foundation Support credential is a relevant certification reference for professionals focused on platform support. Compare this course’s troubleshooting scope with Broadcom’s current VCP-VCF Support requirements and exam objectives. This is not a promise of full exam coverage or eligibility, and attendance does not award certification.
