VCDX Enterprise Exam prep material

Duncan Epping · Jul 29, 2009 ·

Lately I’ve been receiving so many emails/dm’s/pm’s about how to prepare for the Enterprise Exam(VCDX) that I decided to actually write an article as I did not have one yet.

As a start I would like to recommend the Deploy, Secure and Analyze course. The course covers 99% of the exam. If you don’t have the budget you could also use the following material to prepare:

  • Enterprise Exam Study Guide
  • VI3 Reference Card
  • ESXCFG Commands
  • VMbook – Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
  • Performance Characterization of VMFS and RDM Using a SAN
  • Setup for Microsoft Clustering
  • DRS Performance and Best Practices
  • VMware Consolidated Backup Best Practices Guidelines and Considerations
  • Virtual Machine Backup Guide
  • VI3 Security Hardening
  • Resource Management Guide
  • SAN System Design and Deployment Guide
  • Fibre Channel SAN Configuration Guide
  • ESX Server Configuration Guide
  • Configuring and Troubleshooting N-Port ID Virtualization
  • How NPIV-Based LUN Access Works
  • Requirements for using NPIV

Besides these links my tip would be: Just do it!

ps: if someone has additional docs/links they would like to have added, leave a comment and I will add them to the list.

    Hey Duncan,
    Is there any actual books for VCDX/VCAP? I didn’t think there was, but thought you may know for sure.

    Thanks,

      No there are no VCDX/VCAP books, I would however recommend:
      – Scott Lowe’s – Mastering vSphere 4
      – our own HA/DRS Deepdive
      – vSphere Design Book as it explains some fundamental concepts
