VCAP5-DCA terriable experience
I was scheduled for the VCAP5-DCA exam on October 4, 2012.
I sent an email to [email protected] and I await the response y.
Is there anything else I can do?
Crawformdm,
You can me pop an email directly to stipend [at] vmware.com? I'm not the person directly to deal with this (and given that this is a weekend) but I would like to send directly to our certification team and get them to help you with this. When you email me, include all the details you can think beyond what you wrote above.

VCAP5-DCA worth / request?
I got my VCP on 24 August, and then I started off on 30 August due to budget cuts (the story of my life) my dream job after being there for only six months. I've been looking for a new job; but unfortunately there is not a lot out there. I don't want to just sit and do nothing. I want to advance my career.
I'm so debate to go for certification VCAP5-DCA. The problem is that I don't know if I had to do it now or more later. I have only six months of the base of practice and I don't want to experience VMware based real world. I don't want to fall into the trap to get certification to get experience, a trap, I came across many, many times before.
Now, if I worked for a company who asked me to do, with the final result, get a promotion or a raise. Then I'd be more open to getting the VCAP5-DAC,
VCAP5-DCA is different because it's a hands on review. Unfortunately, VCAP5-ACD is not all that is well known in the world of work, compared to VCP. I looked in effect now and there are only about 10 jobs in the entire nation that specifically list the VCAP5-DCA (two listed in the VCAP5-DCA, two VCAP4-DCA and six the VCAP-DCA).
So I'm a little unsure on that so few people have heard of and the fact that I have so little hands on experience of the real world VMware certification.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
HR/recruiters have not heard of him, but the it Department usually. You need to explain what it is and get them to wonder why none of the other candidates have it - HR, but it does not work.

Someone at - it can give me an example of the format question for this review. I'm asking you to violate the NDA, I'm looking for more for the type of stroke that matters. For exampleQ1 - go and set up a new cluster for the following customer requirements - HA HA, vMotion, DRS and FT
or
Q2 - needs to have their virtual servers fully load balanced and protected against defects of one host, while having vm1, vm3 and vm2 not experience any downtime due to a fault in the unique host.
Thank you

Dear friends,
Review VCAP5-DCA today to Reading, to the United Kingdom and thought, I'll share my experience.
Prepared for almost 4 weeks and it was a good experience all together. Participated in 23 questions and ran out of time. Used many materials for preparation, but I think that most of those import have been TrainSignal course of Jason Nash and of this forum. There were times where I just couldn't study more (my brain was abt to explode) and I use just to listen to Jason and walk around or go to bed with a computer laptop near home. You can't go wrong with an investment of $49 / month. This is myth 14 certification (if I pass it) and I'll start DCD after two or three days as well as the EMCTA.
- Don't try to go through all the question in the beginning itself. If you take 30 seconds to read a question in order to understand and make a conscious decision that this is easy or not,
You will have average waster 13 minutes or more you do not!
- Try at least 8 issues/hour time and make sure that you push yourself to access (skip the question if you have to fight when you read)
- Allow at least 10 minutes to see the PDF (unless you're a Robert of Palo Alto - that know everything). Combine your pdf if possible research to the 2nd time and use options - ask your pad to write it down--especially the cmd for two notebooks and on one, note the IP and password so that a simple pattern - takes about 2 minutes
- Take your fluid intake to a minimum, I lost 4 min for a break from the bathroom (Yes, I counted)
- These aren't questions that kill you, but the time take it easy
- Don't forget, it's the best chance to show the world and your business that you are not a clone of testking. Participating in the review itself shows that you have it in you J
- Ensure that go you through the forum and get as much detail as you can... it isn't hard, as long as you are committed and spend at least 3-4 weeks for the study
- Try it in the lab again and again... even things simple will come and haunt you while you are in that Chair, do not take anything for granted...
Good luck!

Exactly after 15 days, received the email from VMware on the outcome of the test. The subject line did not mention the results and had to watch PDF attached.
Yes! The result is positive... I am a VCAP5-DCA now MANAGED. Thank you all... Party of the time :-)
Kind regards

VCAP5-DCA tests on vSphere 5 or 5.1?
Hi people,
As the title suggests, can quick question, someone tell me if the VCAP5-DCA tests you 5 or 5.1? I just had a look at the review plan and he got vsphere 5 everywhere, but I need to be supported by these people here. I realize that experience of the review is probably as much as it may and 5.1 has several improvements, I don't want surprises. I'm about to rebuild my lab and need to do things. Thank you.
5.0
We have tried to make issues as version neutral as possible to ensure that the review could last as versions have been introduced (at least until the first digit changes or there is a quite significant change).

You are able to read each question carefully to review before you start your first task? I don't know whether to click through 26 screens to see each question or figure it out in the begin block? Thank you
Ed
Yes, you can click around the review, as you can do on most VMware exams.
There is a school of thought that clicking through all the questions and take notes you if an item is a 'create' or 'admin', their organization and then clicking back to the beginning will save time to review.
There are a few problems with this:
-This excersise will take you 10-20 min. Since you have an average of 8 minutes per question, you give ~ two questions when you try this method.
-try to determine how long will take an item or if the item is a 'creation' or 'admin' question before trying the question in fact is not always possible. Many questions have troubleshooting components that aren't obvious until you try them. Some read as a matter of "admin" but actually need to create components on the fly. Some of the lists "create xxx" but that's actually a later configuration element and the question really is a "question of the admin".
-l' review is designed to take one at a time, in order. Items that can cause disruptions tend to go towards the end of the examination, the elements that improve the performance of review go near the front. The items that can interfere with other elements are carefully. A passage which does no favor.
Note that these points are all exams live-lab, not only VCAP5-DCA, and some points are more important in some reviews.

Has taken my exam today for the VCAP5-DCA. Wow that was slow.
I hope I passed. I'm sure it'll be close that I wasn't able to get to the last issue of torque, but if it does not lag as bad as he did I would have finished an hour earlier.
Now I am waiting for the results... A way to speed this up?
Discovered today that I passed! VCAP5-DCA

VCAP5-DCA - this laboratory review is slooooooowwwww!
Sam VCAP5-DCA review today. It was really frustrating. RDP screen redraws sometimes took 30 seconds. It wasn't something that I didn't know how to do, however I started to skip questions that required a lot of clicking because of GUI performance.
At some point, I also had a problem PEBCAK/self-inflicted, that made me lose my connection to some of the basic infrastructure - I know, I'm a fool. By train to rush through these performance issues in environmental laboratory cracked my temper and compulsive double control before you click Ok.
Anyway, the TA ended up calling VMware on this subject, but at the time wherever she had someone on the line, I had resolved my own mess, that she told them to do not take into account. However, a bunch of configuration that I had done had been cancelled. Without getting too specific, I had configured components absolutely would not have been affected with my mistake/uninstallation procedure, and a bunch of it was missing. This whole ordeal cost me about an hour.
Anyway, I ended up answering 20.5 to 26, and I felt as if I really knew the documentation. I guess the moral of this story is don't break your lab and if you do, don't tell VMware to this topic.
This expectation is going to be brutal...
I had very similar problems as well, best you can do is email [email protected] and describe in DETAIL how the environment awkward review have prevented you from answering all the things you knew. Provide your and site Details when you send them.

VCAP5-DCA in the Documentation of the review
Hi all
Is someone can you please tell me what VMware documentation is available during the review?
Initially, I was under the impression that no documentation would be available, but after reading several articles to review VCAP5-DCA it would seem that the documentation is available.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Jeremy
Here's the list: http://communities.vmware.com/message/2162106#2162106
But according to the rest of this thread, try not to rely on documents - time is tight and every moment spent looking for something is a moment where you are not completing a task.

VCAP5-DCA permission request, takes forever
Hello
Wanted to take the VCAP-DCA and VCAP-DCD, but in order to be eligible for the examination, VMWare should allow the candidates to the oder to the exam.
Since two weeks, I applied for the VCAP-DCA investigation, but I don't always have any feedback.
What is the usual waiting time?
Thank you
Bravo
I have listed a whole bunch of resources I used for my VCAP5-DCA and you want to use for my DCD on my blog here: http://thesaffageek.co.uk/vsphere-5-study-resources/vcap5-dca-dcd/
Make sure that you spend long hours in a lab to practice each thing in the action plan that the DCA is a difficult exam

I want to take the 5, but to do that I have to do my vcp5. I have my vcp4 so I am eligible to take the vcap4-dca
My delima is I'm studying for the vcp5, then vcap5.
I guess I want to know is important, I know that have the most up-to-date is better, but how much better?
I flop back and back, which is more annoying is that I'm still eligible for my vcp5 since I have not taken a prerequisite course. What makes it more annoying. I was supposed to be in class this week, but it was canceled Friday and resceduled for next month! so annoying!
If you are close to being ready for VCAP4-DCA you can get it now, but then, you must take the exam VCAP5-DCA - and DCA reviews are not easy.
In regards to your training, there is nothing to stop you from the exam of VCP510 now if you feel like you can pass without your what's new class - at least this way you can get your VCP5-DV as quickly as possible once your training is completed.
I agree that most recent certifications are more beneficial - certainly to recruiters and VMware partners.
If I were you, I would get my VCP5 as soon as I could and prepare directly for VCAP5-DCA - but that's just what I do based on what you said...

I want to prepare my VCAP5-DCA. I find tons of information about materials preparation focused on the web (for example the site of Sean Crookston) and tons of books / videos to appear on the market. Unfortunately, most of these materials do not specifically call VCAP5-DCA project.
Can anyone advise on what could prepare myself specifically for this exam? vSphere 5 changed the datacenter in many ways (DTS, FDM vs AAM) I don't want to focus on hardware expired because I see less and less 3.x / 4.x shops and frankly do not have the time to deep dive again on an older version.
Thank you!
There are some great VCAP5-DCA resources out there.
Here's one that does a great job on mapping the differences between the EHR Architecture 4.x and 5.0
http://www.vexperienced.co.UK/2012/04/12/vcap5-DCA-whats-new/
This is based on the beta EHR Architecture but changed very little between the beta and general release docs.
The SaffaGeek has also a nice resource containing information about each of the objectives, plan of action and it can be found here http://thesaffageek.co.uk/vcap5-dca-objectives/ and here is another good by jlanger http://www.virtuallanger.com/vcap-dca-5/
I've gathered some resources but have not recently updated their. There are always relevant information following the beta model (still a time not much changed between beta and GA) http://www.vhersey.com/vcap5-dca-beta/
You can also check out the series of vBrownBag of ProfessionalVMware.com here: http://professionalvmware.com/brownbags/
Hope you find these resources useful and good luck.
