VMware vSphere training preparation

VMgurus,

In August, I'm going to VMware vSphere training, conducted by Hawlett Packard.

Can anyone suggest me, what should I prepare before going to training.  From now on, my hands are on the VMware esx 3.5.

The contributions and suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Since you are experience with the 3.5 I just download vSphere 4.0 and deploy it in a laboratory in order to better familiarize you with the way things work and that prepare you to ask questions or concerns during tests.  You don't ' be shock when you see live demo during the training interfaces and have questions you're not totally thinking.  I would also look at these documents vSphere bundle those are the best or even use the "Guide to the vSphere evaluator" and flash top quickly.  I would focus on the Nexus 1000v modules and how these switches of vDistributed, the FT, the Profiler works and ask more advanced general best practices migration, level, design and architecture during the training to get your money to a value of good luck!

If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

Kind regards

  • VMware vSphere: Troubleshooting [5.5] workshop preliminary training

    Hello

    I was wondering if I would be admitted to the training and possibly be eligible for the exam of the VCP5 - VTC (VCP550).

    I had no prior training of VMWare VSphere sanctioned or certification. Just funded by the learning company, self-training videos available of VSphere CIM and tinkering on my labs. But I have a couple of years of experience in the treatment of VSphere. I just thought it would be best to go directly to the VSphere rather than training with VSphere CIM workshop.

    On the learning portal, the prerequisites are:

    VCP550.JPG

    So basically, my plan is to:

    1) attend the VMware Vsphere troubleshooting training workshop

    (2) the exam for VCP 550

    (3) obtain VCP - certified DV

    Is this possible in my situation? Thanks in advance for your contributions.

    Am I safe to assume that the workshop, the program will not be validated if the participant has the skills required to register? Is it on a basis "enter at your own risk '?

    Yes, you are right, and don't forget mark answers as useful and correct :-)

  • VMware vSphere: optimize and [5.5] course is worth doing or not advice to scale

    Hi all

    Need some advice, as I am preparing to take the exam of the VCAP-DCA 5.5 in April.

    Will makes VMware vSphere: optimize and adapt training aid [5.5] or would be using the DCA official study guide book suffice?

    Just take peoples opinons, before I decide to spend money on the course.

    Thank you all very much.

    JIT

    Personally, I think that if you have below you don't take it out not before, then follow the course (unless you miss the VCP and the requirement of course)

    1 watch the video of Pluralsight VCP and VCAP

    2 buy the VCAP-DCA-5 study study guide bonus ebook on the VMware press - practical site reviews includes in the book

    3. go on the official and unofficial study guide CLI guide study

    4. do you have a host laboratory and practice and practice and make sure you only go on all the (MOST important) action plan.

    Enjoy autolab

    5. If you really need to take the course... you can do the lab connect version of the course which is $ 300 to $ 500.

    If the course if the company paid for the course, and he is not from your Pocket then of course the course.  But your hard-earned income is better spend in

    buy yourself gear lab, subscription VMUG and VMware books.

    2 Subirlos a VMware Update Manager para con esta posteriormente instalarlos in los host.

    3 el orden para los patches apply are "ESXi550-201404020" Primero y luego "ESXi550-201404001".

    4 Reiniciar el host y corregida the environment would be.

    Note: también me indican no delpierre fornuis has version VMware vSphere 5.5 U1 lo contrario is a the environment encontrarme y tendría than corregirla again.

    Te refieres has the environment of software of Open SSL reciente. Answering intento a tus dudas.

    Runs following comandos y dime if the version of ESXi e tienes informs are certainly the're (5.5.0 1331820). If so esa version is bajo the environment:

    # vmware - vl

    VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-1331820

    VMware ESXi 5.5.0 GA


    OpenSSL 1.0.1 through 1.0.1f (included) are vulnerable

    Ahora el comando siguiente para ver the version of Open SSL runs there if sale you esta version, estas in riesgo:


    # OpenSSL version-

    OpenSSL 1.0.1e February 11, 2013

    built: kills Feb 26 16:34:26 PST 2013


    In fact, if you appears otra SSL version ten in a hotel that also can be vulnerable. Son todas las versiones 1.01 has the 1.0.1f. ASI del example, than ESXi 5.5 seria para el. build 1331820, veras are the 1.01e y por lo tanto tiene el problema.

  • Fact the VMware vSphere: install, configure, manage [4.0] class eligible for VCP5 prereq?

    Hi all

    Doing some research, but has not been able to confirm.  Also left message with our VMware training rep areas last week, but never heard back, so thought I would try here.

    In 2011, I finished the VMware vSphere: install, configure, manage [4.0] courses.  I never did get my VCP4, but now want to try for my VCP5.  This class would qualify as a prereq so that I can just take the VMware vSphere: What's New (version 5.0) courses?  The web site called specifically need to VMware vSphere: install, configure, manage [V4.1] class so I think not, but I wanted to check.  I would take the shorter, which is the new class rather than a class 4 or 5 days on vSphere 5.0 so I can.

    Can anyone confirm?

    Thank you

    Bob

    No problem, this path has always been available for VCP5.

    And Bob, the counties of 4.0 class, as well as class 4.1 - is only the class 4.1, which is referred to as the class 4.0 retired some time ago and has been removed from the page VCP5 when he retired.

  • Fact HP HH642SR VMware vSphere troubleshooting course are eligible for VCP certification

    The course HH642SR - VMware vSphere troubleshooting HP education to qualify as a VMware authorized to the VCP certification course?

    I work with VMWare for about 6 years now and had followed the course of HP because we had a few good HP and felt it was the only course VMware that they had that I could learn something from.

    I would get VCP and other certifications, but need to know if the HP course meets the requirements and if I could get to register for examination of the VCP or I still need to follow a course of VMWare, before I could get to register for the exam.

    Yes, I think he does.

    HP offers the class as a VMware authorized training center. Looks like they have just their own course for the class number. You can view the brochure here:

  • Installation of VMware Vsphere on HP laptop

    Hello

    I'm pretty new in virtualization. I just have a question.

    Can I install VMware VSphere 5.1 on HP laptop? It's going to be just for the learning of VMware VSphere.

    More appreciated

    Welcome to the community,

    as you certainly know, ESXi is designed to run on the server hardware. However, it depends on the material (for example controllers of disks, network cards,...) if ESXi will run on a laptop. You can just try and if something is not found you can have a look at for example https://vibsdepot.v-front.de/wiki/index.php/Welcome to see if the necessary drivers are available and can be used to create a custom install image.

    Another install ESXi directly on the hardware, it is also very common to run a virtual laboratory of vSphere, i.e. install Windows or Linux on your laptop and use VMware Workstation to build the laboratory.

  • VSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit?

    Hello

    TL; DR: I would like to know if the vSphere API is available in VMware vSphere Essentials Kit.

    We evaluated VMware vSphere to build an environment very small test & dev to work. Since vSphere worked well during our assessment, we will buy vSphere licenses.

    We only need to operate a single ESXi host and we don't much care our virtual machines because they are used for testing only. Thus, we don't need features such as vMotion.

    However, take us pictures and we depend on the vSphere API, because we use pyVmomi to administer our virtual machines.

    Because we only run an ESXi host, need for API vSphere vCenter but did not need features such as vMotion, I think that the Kit Essentials fits our needs. But I'm not sure it provides the vSphere API. If anyone can confirm?

    Kind regards

    Yes, vSphere API are available in the Essentials kit.

  • Qual a difference between vmware vsphere, vcenter, workstation?

    OLA pessoal,

    Nunca trabalhei e com VMWare estou com doubt no deferred than tools vsphere, vcenter, workstation.

    Preciso testar uma Solução virtualizacao. Vou rodar dentro Windows 10, where seja, NAO preciso UM hypervisor rodando no como Hyper-V server hardware.

    So one size rodando no Windows para testar Doi servidores com some specific management.

    Me cadastrei no site da VMWare para testar a versão trial, mas não sei qual software download.

    ATT, Fabio

    Para sua need you can use o VMware Workstation or VMware Player o.

    Sober as diferencas, o VMware Workstation e uma Solução virtualizacao type-2, or seja, roda em cima of some system operational, alem do VMware Workstation we have outros exemplos como o VirtualBox e o Microsoft VirtualPC antigo.

    JA o VMware vSphere, ESXi e uma Solução virtualizacao do Tipo-1, or seja, roda diretamente em cima material, e por isso some vezes e re-usable chamado, e alem vSphere, ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix XenServer o o we have.

    Por ultimo, o VMware vCenter Server nada but as UM software para os servidores com VMware vSphere, ESXi gerencia.
