Both guides are detailed and full of information. These are based on the VMware Blueprint and they helped me a lot. There are two unofficial study guides available on the internet. That can be a bit tricky because if you get stuck you need to go to the following objective. You have got twenty-seven objectives to complete and you have 205 minutes to complete them, of course, you just need to score 300 points. The most difficult part is the time management. The exam itself is not the most difficult one out their… at least for someone who is working on a day-to-day base with VMware vSphere.
The exam is a Lab based exam, so this is completely different than a VMware VCP exam. The environment was using nested ESXi hosts to accommodate the required amount of ESXi hosts. The hardware I used can be found on the following page Home Lab. 1x – Dell Unity VSA for iSCSI, NFS and Virtual Volumes.1x – VMware vSphere Data Protection (VDP).6x – VMware ESXi 6.0 (for vSAN and traditional storage testing).

I‘m not sure that I will ever get one / dreams.dreams (sometimes they come true). VCDX is the highest certification level provided by VMware. Wanna free polo shirt or own profile page? Get VCDX certification. If you don’t have enough resources you can, for instance, do not deploy vRealize Operations (In my lab it is a reason of overconsumption and sometimes it’s very sloooow.unfortunately, my little datacenter is also limited by RAM/Storage) and learn one as wellģ) If you have CBTNuggets or Pluralsight subscriptions, I recommend to watch their training courses (search for vSphere 5/vSphere 6/designing VMware infrastructure)ĥ) Official guides and practice tests What’s next VCloud Air is perfectly covered in hands-on lab which provided by VMware. My demo is built on 3 nested ESXi hosts, vCenter Appliance, Replication, Update Manager and vRealize Operations Manager + remote station with PowerCLI/CLI and vSphere C# client (by the way, it’s going to be deprecated with the next major release). So, If you are have some experience with virtualization and clustering, your choice is definitely “Optimize & Scale” or “Designing vSphere”Ģ) Hundreds/thousands hours of diving into VMware Documentation Center, Hands-On Labs and your demo. It I could change it I’d prefer Optimize&Scale. VMware vSphere: Design Workshop (Version 6.0) (VDW) VMware vSphere 6.0. More advanced than Foundation.ġ) In my case, training course was very ordinary . Michigan Technology Services provides instructor led VMware training and ESX.
vSphere 6 Foundation exam (online, non-proctored).Step 3: As a true Hyper-V fan, I have never been certified for vSphere, so for completely new candidates you must pass the following exams: Step 2: self-study (3 –6 months as a minimum, beer included) I finished vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage Step 1: You MUST complete one of the official training courses (Microsoft does not require anything of the kind). If you are interested in certification, there are some required steps that you have to pass to successfully achieve VCP. It was a long path ( more than half a year). I’m very proud to announce that I’ve finally achieved VCP6-DCV certification.
