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.
Elements | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Plan to implement server virtualisation | 1.1 Assess extent of virtualisation to be implemented using feasibility report and organisational guidelines 1.2 Analyse existing server infrastructure use 1.3 Research and analyse alternative virtualisation scenarios, including risk analysis and relative comparisons of each consideration 1.4 Provide brief report to appropriate person of proposed preferred plan and describe resources required 1.5 Liaise with appropriate person to obtain approval for plans with any recommendations |
2. Design virtual server specification | 2.1 Confirm network operating system, server applications and server design with client 2.2 Determine product and vendor architecture and equipment specifications 2.3 Determine technology and resources within business requirements and budget |
3. Install virtual server | 3.1 Follow work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements according to plan and manufacturer’s specifications 3.2 Notify client for site access 3.3 Create detailed task list specifying stages and sequence of work required 3.4 Review hardware and software to ensure compatibility 3.5 Install required operating system, additional tools or third party software as specified in design 3.6 Patch operating system and applications to ensure maximum security and reliability |
4. Integrate and test virtual server | 4.1 Determine tests to ensure virtual server integration 4.2 Develop test plan, referring to resources and network impact 4.3 Run system tests according to test plan and record outcomes 4.4 Analyse error report and make changes as required 4.5 Test required changes or additions 4.6 Validate changes or additions against specifications |
5. Complete work and document activities | 5.1 Document installation and integration process according to organisational guidelines 5.2 Provide user documentation 5.3 Notify client and obtain sign off |
Evidence of the ability to:
communicate with clients for business purposes
determine and meet client requirements for installation and testing a virtual server
install, integrate and test virtualisation components according to vendor and technical specifications.
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:
explain client business domain, business function and organisation
summarise compatibility issues and resolution procedures
describe configuration of internet protocol (IP) networks
identify current industry-accepted products
describe the process of documenting technical specifications
outline linkage between processes
discuss systems diagnostic features
summarise the following technologies:
power supply requirements and management
registered random access memory (RAM)
server design and network architecture
set up and configuration procedures
single and multiple processors
vendor specifications and requirements for software installation
virtual server functionality.
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 telecommunications – sustainability field of work and include access to:
a site and equipment on which servers can be virtualised
server virtualisation currently used in industry
relevant documentation, feasibility studies, equipment manuals and other site-related documentation.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
