VCAP-DCA 510 Experience Sharing

 

Last Saturday in the Jiaotong University to participate in the VCAP-DCA 510, finally successfully passed. Both of them failed. The second was lower than the first score. The VCAP-DCA rating may be done through machine, the key steps are wrong and the impact is very large.

I took an exam in VCAP-DCA without any training, totally reading online materials, training signal videos, and e-books. I used my own desktop (99-year-old machine) as an experiment. The customer also had a large VMware environment, but did not dare to do it.

1. Use vmware workstation 7 to create an experiment environment.

I used vmware workstation 7 as an experimental environment on my desktop. The processor must support Intel vt with 8 GB memory.

Run five VMS: esxi1, esxi2, vcenter, VMA, and openfile for storage.

This environment can fully meet the VCAP-DCA experiment, FT function can also be tested.

To reduce memory usage, esxi runs 6 Windows 98

3. Personal Experience Sharing

1. You must understand all the things on blueprint.

2. A few weeks before the test, it takes time to practice every day, and an experiment in the video should be done well.

3. The exam is very tight for 4 hours, so you can skip questions without any questions. After the test, write down the main experiment no matter how you feel. In case of failure, we will have a targeted review.

4. 26 labs in the experiment are on foreign servers. Network comparison card, you can open two VMware clients to connect to vcenter, one does not move, immediately to another.

Hope to help you. For more details, it is inconvenient.

Prepare for the next DCD test, and share the experience with those who have passed the test. Thank you.
