Objective 5.4 – Migrate Virtual Machines See also: Objective 5.4 – Migrate Virtual Machines and Objective 5.4 – Migrate Virtual Machines. Identify ESXi host and virtual machine requirements for vMotion and Storage vMotion (same as vSphere 4.x) See the vSphere Virtual Machine Administration guide (page 219) and vCenter Server and Host Management guide (page 119 and 122). Some basic requiments: for vMotion a specific vmkernel interface (enabled for vMotion) is required, as the CPU compatibility (or EVC). For Storage vMotion the host must see both […]

Describe the Resource Pool hierarchy (same as vSphere 4.x) See the vSphere Resource Management Guide (page 43). Note that a DRS license is required, in order to use resource pools in a VMware cluster. Define the Expandable Reservation parameter (same as vSphere 4.x) With this option, if you power on a virtual machine in this […]

Enhanced synchronization including options for scheduling synchronization tasks and performing multiple synchronization tasks in a conversion job. Conversion data is encrypted between the source and the server. Restoring VCB images.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAfter the recent change in the certification path for VCP4-DT I’ve got some doubts about the future of the VCA-DT certification (if is no more required for other *-DT certifications, why take it?). But seems that this kind of certification will remain also in new 5 release (based on View 5 and vSphere 5), because some rumors give the possible release date of new DT certifications: VCA5-DT (estimated availability late 2011) VCP5-DT (estimated availability early 2012) About the VCAP-DT certification, still there isn’t any official news, both for the v4 and, of course, the v5.
