Are you just starting out?
We have been using Vmware for three years now.
Have you been running VMWare for a while?
Three years. The first year consisted of testing/using Workstation and we are now utilizing ESX greatly and not using Workstation any more except for some little stuff.
What version are you running?
ESX 3.5...thanks for reminding me I need to do some updates
Did you attend any training?
Yes, I have been to both of the VCP requisite classes. It was good to sit with an instructor and classmates who could answer my questions or add ideas for things to try.
How extensive is your VMWare infrastructure on campus?
The majority of our Windows 2003 servers are virtual machines. We currently have two IBM X3950 servers as our hosts, with about 12-15 vms per host. I also manage an ESX host in our Dominican Republic, Jacksonville, and Europe locations remotely.
Unfortunately we do not have the funding to go crazy with ESX and that prevents me from doing a lot of the more advanced stuff that others do. I am very confident with ESX and vmware in a day to day basis but I am scared to take the VCP test because the practice test asks questions that I've never had to deal with before.
EDIT: Wow I'm an idiot! I didn't realize this thread was posted in the Higher Ed forums...lol just ignore my post!
