VCP 410 is no joke.

When you go the Vmware website provided in the email link, there's another link to register for the upgrade, that link tells me the deal is expired.

Hmm, seems to work now. May have been a temporary issue.

Yep. Passed it last week. No need for the 2nd shot for me.

Taking it this Tuesday, already am VCP3. Got a TestKing cram I'm going to pound on Monday night.

I have a ton more experience with ESX this go around than I did for the 3.5 test. I've done a few 4.0 migrations and fresh installs. hHandled all the SAN/Network configs that went with it. Hoping that mitigates the difficulty some.

I went through a cram for 3.5 as well, but poured through around 1500 pages in white papers. I'm just doing the cram this time.

Just my two cents...

They would if they need your cert for partnership requirements. The companies that wanted to pay me good money for certs always fell in this category. Though they may decide to just send you to the class if they like you enough.

Just passed it, feels good. I only went through the 1st quarter of the cram and other than that took it cold. Was nervous right up until I passed.

Good to have that done with for another 1.5 years.

I'll probably be writing this in the next month. Just took the course so I'm going to set up a quick home lab and then write as soon as possible.

I took the class last month. I re-scheduled the exam twice now (cause of work). Going to take it this Monday.

quick question for those who have taken the VCP4 exam. Are there a tone of questions about configuration? like how many CPUs does Vm support, How many LUNS on first scan, How many ports in a Vswitch, what is port 902 used for etc etc.

I have been using vmware for a few months now and I am comfortable with it but it seems all the sample test question focus more around memorizing the above questions.

There are also a tone of questions that are related to the VSP, VTSP (sales training) like what the different products add-ons do etc...

What do you guys think? Should I focus a lot of energy on memorizing those questions?

There are a couple questions like that, but it pulls from a large pools so you never know what you are going to get.

As much as it's against the spirit, I recommend everyone get their hand's on a TestKing study guide. It's about 400 questions and they are all word for word off the test, I used it for 310 and 410.

Obviously if you are not familiar with VMware you should do a lot of reading and hands on if possible as well, just so you aren't the stereotypical paper admin in the real world.

Took it yesterday. It's really the VCP3 test with a few questions on VI4 items...which I guess makes sense. Still the same fundamentals. Glad to have that done.... Starting on Cisco UCS training/exams soon.

congrats to all that have passed it. i just updated other stuff in our partner profile today, and will be taking vcp4 before the end of the year.
