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: 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.

Storage adapters provide connectivity for your ESXi host to a specific storage unit (block oriented) or network. ESXi supports different classes of adapters, including SCSI, SATA, SAS, iSCSI, Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). ESXi accesses the adapters directly through device drivers in the VMkernel. Notice that (block oriented) […]
