Recommended lab environment for the preparation of the VCAP-DCA

I started to prepare for my certification and would be grateful for each entry to a proper test environment

including VM, Applications, etc...


My project looks like: 2-ESXi 4.1 Cluster with vCenter 4.1 Standard on a storage FC (No iSCSI in the company...)

I agree that it is better to use two ESX and ESXi - review you certainly both tasks.

  • Default environment for the Oracle user at the launch of the Scheduler?

    Hello:

    It's probably pretty basic, but I have not yet found the answer. I'm trying to run an import job using imp of the Scheduler. I modified the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/externaljob.ora file so that the work is run as user oracle. If I take the result of 'whoami' in the program, he said yes I am oracle, but ORACLE_HOME etc. are not defined. Is - this intentional? I would think that it runs the .bashrc etc to get the right environment for the user.

    Thank you.

    You can't count on any variable defined in the environment.

  • How to program the VCAP-DCA to VMWorld2014 test?

    Hello

    I recently registered for VMWorld 2014.   I currently have my VCP5.x already and am currently studying for my review of VCAP-DCA 5.x.   I would like to take my exam at VMWorld 2014 on-site at the Conference.

    Simply, I can't find any reliable information on how to sign up for this place.

    I have my pre approval for the VCAP certification.   I also contacted PearsonVue, but their support team has no idea on VMWorld.

    Is someone took their on-site review during VMWorld?

    The timetable for the review happens via the site Web of VMWorld or PearsonVue?

    I know the review slots fill fast because of the generous test discount and I don't want to miss.

    I'd appreciate any help or advice.

    Thank you very much.   John

  • Question about the VCAP-DCA Certification

    I have a query on the VCAP-DCA Certification the...

    I am certified VCP4, My target is VCAP5-DCA.

    My query is... If I take the review VCP5 directly with output authorized Vmware training...

    What am eligible to the Certification VCAP5-DCA...?

    You can not. It is a difficult requirement - you MUST have the class to have the VCP certification. You can take the exam without the class, but you do not get the certification without the class. This is to avoid exactly what you are doing. A dump is just a memory exercise. By forcing the class, we know that you had some practices, even if for a week. We want the VCP to the senses, and not be just an exercise in memorizing the answers. This isn't knowledge, which is just facts randomly.

  • Nature of the VCAP-DCA issues

    Hello

    These questions are for those who have taken the VCAP-DCA exam or anyone envolved with this review.

    I want just to have an idea about the nature of the VCAP-DCA exam questions.

    I saw the demo provided by VMware. I don't want anyone to voilate the NDA and share the questions with us.

    but here are some of the questions I have:

    1 - How VMware does not mark the results? They monitoring/recording the whole review and assess the review on how to make or that they only care about final results?

    2 - if VMware results cares so y did - it a mandate on how to accomplish a task? (for example, you can perform a task of vCenter Server and vSphere client (GUI) or you can use the command line (using the vMA vCLI or powerCLI)

    3. I guess you don't have to deal with 3rd device configuration part. I just want to confirm.

    For example for grouping of NETWORK cards you do not have to set up Port Trunking on Cisco switches or facing SAN administration.

    like I'm supposed to add a logical unit number to my ESX servers all configurations on SAN are precofigured and correct. (Level of access,...)

    4 - Last but not least - if you want to give a percentage of GUI vs. command line, what will your percentage?

    It's my first full review of laboratory, and I don't want to take any chances.

    Thank you

    1. the action plan is clear... they assess if you reach the objectives of the task... not how.

    2. you can choose how to... of course in some cases, you can do some tasks from the GUI.

    3. 3rd party is not included... But remember that the action plan also requires vShied and vCenter heartbeat areas!

    4. my humble opinion, it depends on you... If you want to do everything alone by GUI you can do more than half of jobs with it (I can't be more specific because of the NDA).

  • Documentation in the Test of the VCAP-DCA

    Hi all

    I'm studying for my VCAP-DCA and I found it useful to refer to the documentation to refresh my memory on ESXCLI orders for rare tasks like masking/unmasking of paths to a LUN.  I heard that the Documentation centre of VMware vSphere 5.5 is available for consultation in the test lab you do the test.  Is this true?  If so, is it available as it's online?  In other words, I'll be able to type 'Mask paths' into a search bar to find the commands for the LUN mask/unmask railways if I forgot?

    Thank you in advance for your help/advice!

    There are links to the Documentation Centre of vSphere 5.5 and http://kb.vmware.com/ as well as a ton of PDF files contained in the plan of action https://mylearn.vmware.com/lcms/web/portals/certification/VCAP_Blueprints/VCAP5-DCA-VDCA550-Exam-Blueprint-v3_3.pdf

  • Materials available during the review of the VCAP-DCA

    Hi guys,.

    Who will be my VCAP-DCA exam at the end of the month.

    I was reviewing notes and format of the DCA, and it is not clear what materials are available to the candidate during the examination.

    Are functions online help or the documents available to the candidate during the DCA?

    Or do we have to memorize all the menu items and orders for this review?

    Thank you
    Kelvin

    You will have access to all the functions of built-in help of interfaces and the different tools and documentation that refers to the action plan.

    But, time is tight and you have to rely on access to these things as little as possible - in the best position to be in is not not to refer to the documentation/help at all.

    I did DCA on vSphere 4 and the same is true for this - I haven't used documentation for a couple of tasks and should make reference to the CLI help a few times - screen strive to keep that to a minimum.

    Hello
    You are able to use your applications without problem?

    To check what is causing the problem, try the following steps:

    1:NTVDM method is bound to display drivers for nVidia.I suggest you to update display drivers on the manufacturer's Web site

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Check with step 1 (run a clean boot):-If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    Note: After you find the program causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program and also don't forget to put the computer to a normal startup.

    3:Disable method and then check the firewall/security software on the system tray.

    Thank you inadvance.

    You cannot install the vcenter on 1, 2 or 3. you need to find #4 =). It cannot be shared with any of the current role server. vCenter 4.1 required 64 bit windows 2008 r2.

    with VMware View, you create a virtual office. 1 Virtual Office = 1 session. and oh yes you will find # 5 which is the host ESX Server where you will be virtual office say windows7 or Windows XP.

  • Creation of virtual environment for the JVM in Windows 7

    Hi, between programming, sometimes we need to check the complexity of java code. One can easily get the difference in using
    System.currentTimeMillis()
    to check the running about a time code. Even place System.currentTimeMillis () between a statement and get the difference indicates the time of execution of the statement. However, this lead time depends on the system (RAM). My laptop has 4 GB of RAM. While checking the time complexity, can configure my JAVA virtual machine to use a part of this memory live (only 256 MB)? Can I create such a profile in my Windows 7? Is there another way to check the complexity of all java code?

    complexity at the time, I set up my JAVA virtual machine to use a part of this (only 256 MB) RAM?

    Yes, using arguments from the command line like

    Java - xms - xmx

    http://docs.Oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/Windows/Java.html

    Can I create such a profile in my Windows 7?

    Yes

    Is there another way to check the complexity of all java code?

    You measure the time. The complexity is another question, but that can be measured. BTW, the other way of measuring time is using System.nanoTime)

    Couldn't believe I erased this in my first attempt with 350 + score. For me, it's a hard to split nut.

    I finished my vsphere 4.0 training almost a year ago. I lived vmware docs, Scott Lowe on 'Mastering VMware vSphere4.0' registry home lab and youtube videos on vmware configurations.

    In addition, Simonlong and other vmware Articles are a great resource for reference. Mock exams on the vmware website and simon long helped in practice.

    Now, I'm looking forward to the vcap-dca. Looking for suggestions on how to prepare.

  • Best practices for the implementation of environment laboratory in ESX 3.5

    Hi all

    I currently have two systems ESX 3.5 in a dmz on a network for a lab environment. The place has a few other external servers such as dc, servers, exchange, ect, so even if it is in a demilitarized zone and a controlled DMZ network I want to ensure that the ESX 3.5 systems are in a sandbox environment. They need 1 external network adapter so that the virtual machine can download patches ect but the rest of the communication, I would like to be established between the VM internally. In other words, in a world of VM Workstation 6 I would have only 1 bridged network adapter but all others would be articulate under internal network cards.   This lab will be available for a lot of people like someone not running a DHCP server or a new domain controller which could knock out the other test environments in the demilitarized zone.

    How would you put this together with the vswitches? is Director of the laboratory, the best way to do this?

    To my knowledge there is no way "internal" to do. Workstation is by design the use of test/development and not the production-oriented and therefore the set of features is different from ESX (i).
