Reading Time: < 1 minuteRecently, has been released the VCP5 blueprint 1.1 (although in the download is number 1.15?) that cover the official exam (note that the v1.4 was related to the beta exam). The new blueprint does not include changes on the objectives, just more tools, link to to the documents and some changes in the exam description (the official exam has 85 questions in 90 minutes). Note that there are also new version of the VCA4-DT (v1.3) and VCP4-DT (v1.2) blueprints.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThis 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: 2 minutesIn 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 […]
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe list of the vExpert 2011 is now available on line. But note that this list could not cover all the vExpert people (the list is not automatic but each vExpert must add his entry) and, of course, do not include the vExpert 2009 and 2010.

Reading Time: 4 minutesObjective 3.3 – Create and Configure VMFS and NFS Datastores See also those similar posts: Objective 3.3 – Create and Configure VMFS and NFS Datastores and Objective 3.3 – Create and Configure VMFS and NFS Datastores. Identify VMFS and NFS Datastore properties (similar as vSphere 4.x) See the vSphere Storage Guide (page 21). NFS as quite the same functions (also hardware acceleration introducted in vSphere 5), but still cannot implement a RDM disk, and for this reason cannot implement a guest cluster solution (like Microsoft MSCS). Identify VMFS5 capabilities (new in vSphere 5) See the vSphere […]
Reading Time: 4 minutesObjective 3.2 – Configure the Storage Virtual Appliance for vSphere This objective is related to a new product: the VMware Storage Virtual Appliance 1.0 (SVA or usually called also VSA) for vSphere 5. Note that this product is not included in vSphere editions, but is a separate product with his specific license (see the VMware site for more details). Note: to make a virtual environment to test VSA see the blog Getting the VMware VSA running in a nested ESXi environment.
