Reading Time: < 1 minute This is a list of some practice tests for the VCP5 exam: VCP5 Official Mock Exam – This time the mock exam seems good enough (some questions are still too easy, but some are similar to the VCP5 beta exam). http://www.simonlong.co.uk/blog/vcp5-practice-exams/ – The exam is just in a beta phase, a little simple yet, but with some good question. http://www.kalenarndt.com/vcp-510-quiz/ – Actually with few questions, but just started. vSphere 5 Configuration Maximums Practice Tests Series – Some tests about the configuration maximums. http://twitter.com/#!/VCP5_QOTD – One question each day (but seems blocked on Aug, 9).

Reading Time: 9 minutes Note This product has been discountined with the release 5.1 and replaced by the new VDP. Disclaimer I do not work for VMware and I’m not writing that VDR is the best backup product! First versions were affected by some bugs and issues… But now (from 1.2 release) could be one possible backup solution (of course with its limits). VMware Data Recovery (VDR) Official VMware site: http://www.vmware.com/products/data-recovery/ See also: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-11443 For VDR2 see also: Things to know before implementing VMware Data Recovery (vDR) 2.0 Note that this product works quite like the old esXpress (similar […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute After the recent announce of new Equallogic storage I’ve notice some tweets that need more clarifications. To take advantage of new vStorage API for vSphere you do not need the new storage, but only the firmware that support the required feature: VAAI can be used also in vSphere 4.1 (only in the Enterprise and Enterprise+ editions) both with firmware 5.0.x or 5.1.x. With the new 5.1 firmware a new version of VAAI is implemented with a new feature for thin provisioning (but in this case it’s also required vSphere 5). VASA can be used only […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes In a physical environment usually the term CPU is used to refer to the physical package (or socket). The real processing unit inside this package are called cores (and not that each core can have inside more ALU and can be seen as more logical cores with hyper-threading feature). More CPU usually define a SMP system, more cores a multi-core CPU, more CPU each with more cores a complex system (usually the NUMA architecture is used in this case). In a virtual enviroment the term vCPU is used to refer to a core assigned to […]
