Wish to get VMware Certified at no cost at all ?

   

It is an old post and no more free exam or discounts on this exam . Still maintaining this post as there is a nice discussion on the questions on VCA

                     Yes , that is true . Now you can get vmware certified at zero cost . No I am not talking about Vmware Certified professional exam with the high price tag boot camp and a $175 exam fees . It is the new VCA ( Vmware Certified Associate ) exam VMware announced on the last vmworld .

          The VCA for data center virtualization , desktop virtualization and Cloud computing exams are now available as online examinations with $95 exam voucher . When you proceed with the exam registration process , vmware will give you initial discount of 47.5 $ for spreading the word about the exam . on the next page apply the discount coupon with the code VCA501 and the exam will be converted to a zero cost one. You have to write the exam with in two days time slot . The catch is that you dont have to go to a Pearson VUE  exam center to attend the exam . You can do it online at the privacy and convenience of your home or office  . I am just wondering will it be good for the reputation of a VMware exam to be conducted at the freedom of your desktop ot laptop , still it is the current scenario .
It sia 2 hour exam with a passing score of 300 out of 500 . .

Best of luck for your first meeting with vmware certification . Even if you are already vmware certified professional , it does not hurt to get one more certification especially if it is at zero cost .


                    I just passed mine today .Feel free to leave a comment if you need more details

  6. Sir, Can You tell the right answers of this questions

    1) If you are trying to find out if you have a load based performance issues, which is the following metrics is Significant in a virtual environment but, not generally in physical environment?
    a) Application network throughput to a remote office.
    b) Idle VMS(When compared to their equivalent idle physical servers in a physical environment)
    c) Physical CPU over commitment, because of the VMKernel SMP scheduler.
    d) Physical RAM over-commitment as VMware’s Hypervisor has technologies for dealing With this


    2) You neeed a solution for your burst utilization without paying for unused capacity during non-peak hours. Which cloud product will solve this problem?
    a) vcloud connector
    b) vcloud networking and security
    c) vcloud Automation center
    d) vcloud APIs
    3) Your organization is decided it needs to use a hybrid cloud. During the weekly staff meeting a colleague asks why the decision to use a hybrid cloud was chosen?
    a) You are a small company and do you want to deal with your own data center and equipment.
    b) You have multiple physical sites all using their own local data centers.
    c) You have a mixture of physical and virtual servers.
    d) Your development team periodically enters high demand test cycles.
    4) Before you begin with the roll out with the private cloud the technical project leader wants to ensure you have the vshpere component required by vcloud director in place first. Which two vsphere component required by vcloud?
    a) vcenter Orchestrator
    b) vcenter data protection
    c)vcenter server
    d) Esxi hipervisor

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. last one first it is easier too I think .Answer to 4 th question the two vsphere component you needed is vcenter server and esxi hypervisor

      Delete
    2. 3rd question , the answer is
      d) Your development team periodically enters high demand test cycles.

      Delete
    3. for the second question since you have to move to different solutions for non peak and peak traffic , I think cloud connector is the option. I am not pretty sure about it as cloud is not my strong point .

      Delete
    4. for the first question , I think it is the physical CPU over commitment . may be need a discussion on it

      Delete
  7. My views on answers for 2nd question :
    vcloud connector is basically used for connecting public and private clouds.networking and security for VLAN and firewalls.Automation center has 'Intelligent Resource Management' which works mostly like DRS in vcenter. vcloud API's are used to programatically trigger actions like creation of VM's.
    Answer should be : 2 - c

    1. my point with V-connector is that during a hybrid cloud session , you can switch to a public cloud during burst utilization period and only pay for that burst on public cloud and back to private . that is why i said v connector . may be more persons will come over and comment on it .

    1. My answers and explanations are given below

      Q.1-Infrastructure.

      Q.2-Fast provisioning (This will help rapid provisioning of VMs through linked clone technology and the use of linked clones improve storage utilization)

      Q.3-Vcloud Connector Advance Edition .(Vcloud Connector Advance Edition includes the following advanced features:
      Content Sync & Stretch Deploy)

      Q.4-& Q.6-vCloud Connector (vCloud Connector provides a single user interface for overseeing multiple public and private clouds and for transferring cloud content from one cloud to another. It allows you to connect both internal and external in a single user interface.)

      Q.5-vCloud leverages ESXi and vCenter (vCenter is required to administrate your virtual infrastructure,certain tasks will have to be done first in vCenter, such as creating a HA/DRS cluster, configuring the distributed virtual switch, adding hosts, etc.vCloud Director will talk to your vCenter servers.To create a cloud you’ll need both vCenter and vCD.)

  30. Hello can't find answer for this one... any help is appreciated

    Which do NOT use Virtual Networking ?
    a. FCoE
    b. Vmware Remote Console
    c. iSCSI
    d. vMotion
    No clear answer yes however I did research and found FCOE is Ok as well vmotion so possibly

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. FCoE is fiber channel over Ethernet and it need networking , IMO
      Vmotion need a proper configuration of your Network
      iSCSI also need virtual networking
      Even if you are not attached your vNIC of the VM to any of the network , your VMware remote console will work , so I think VMware remote console is the answer . Let others come up with more comments

  33. We have physical server (Win 2003) and we have assignd one LUN to it from Fiber Channel Storage (EMC Storage).
    We have created one VM (Win 2012) on ESXi5.5. Can we migrate that NTFS LUN to directly VM ? If Yes then how ?

    After assigning this LUN to VM it will convert into VMFS , so data will lost or not ?
