List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Manage resources | 1.1 Monitor and adjust resources, to ensure virtual environment performance functions according to enterprise requirements 1.2 Verify the functionality of the virtual environment |
2. Manage virtual machines | 2.1 Use migration tools to convert a physical machine to a virtual machine 2.2 Select the appropriate deployment methods for a virtual machine 2.3 Create and deploy a virtual machine, using installation media 2.4 Create and deploy a virtual machine, using automated templates 2.5 Use virtual machine snapshots to reverse, or implement, changes to a virtual machine |
3. Ensure high availability | 3.1 Plan and design a strategy, to ensure high availability of the virtual environment 3.2 Identify and select suitable resources for high availability implementation, according to the enterprise requirements 3.3 Configure the virtual machine environment to ensure high availability 3.4 Configure the virtual machine environment to provide live migration 3.5 Plan and design a backup strategy 3.6 Back up, and recover, a virtual machine using and integrating third-party tools |
Evidence of the ability to:
monitor and provide resources to a virtual environment
create and deploy virtual machines
implement changes to virtual machines
back up and recover a virtual machine.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
identify and describe, current government and industry policies, and guidelines, in relation to the development of sustainable information and communications technology (ICT) environments
describe the current technologies, and processes, designed to produce a sustainable ICT environment
define the structure, functions, and business organisation of the client
summarise the application and deployment of virtual machine management tools
outline virtual machine configuration and integration options.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the network industry, and include access to:
a site or prototype, where virtual machine environments may be implemented
the network’s technical requirements
the appropriate software.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
