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. Analyse client needs | 1.1 Assess client requirements 1.2 Assess existing client or server systems that may be suitable to be virtualised |
2. Analyse virtualisation host software | 2.1 Assess and compare suitable virtualisation host software according to organisational requirements 2.2 Document recommendations and provide to appropriate person |
3. Evaluate system requirements | 3.1 Obtain and document technical specifications and system requirements from virtualisation software vendors 3.2 Compare the system requirements needed to implement virtualisation according to organisational requirements 3.3 Document recommendations and provide to appropriate person |
4. Install virtualisation host software | 4.1 Install virtualisation host platform according to organisational requirements 4.2 Validate functionality of the virtualisation host platform according to organisational requirements |
Evidence of the ability to:
analyse client needs for a virtual computing environment
evaluate, recommend and document the system requirements
install and validate an enterprise virtual computing environment.
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 related to developing sustainable information and communications technology (ICT) environments
describe the current technologies and processes designed to produce a sustainable ICT environment
outline the structure, function and business organisation of client
outline available tools and software applications required to manage virtual machines
explain the configuration of software applications required to manage virtual machines
explain the configuration required to integrate virtual machines into existing network design.
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 networking industry, and include access to:
a site or prototype where virtual machine environments may be implemented
network technical requirements
software.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
