Newbie to VMware Vsphere - looking for common issues faced daily to solve and learn.

[Jbala28]

Hello everyone.

Hope everyone is doing well in these dark ages.

I'm hoping to get some assistance to practice more troubleshooting steps and more learn more on Vmware Vsphere 6.7.

I'm in the process trying to get my VCP and I'm looking create some common problems or areas you need to master for working environment. I'm hoping to create some challenges in my lab environment and try to solve them.

At my current work, I'm only creating VM machines at the moment but my manager wants me to be back up of senior admin who is responsibly everything else. We are not using vSAN and or VDS at the moment.

I don't see many tickets coming in for VMware issues at  my current company. My limit for issues I can think is ESXI failing, storage issues or hardware issues.

I have already done the Challenging labs at HOL.

please let me know if you can think anything.

thanks

Hi there,

For the Exams always stick to the exam blueprint that you can download from the exam website. Following that is the best way to prepare.

If you can build a Lab and start playing with it. Set configuration goals and work towards doing that and you will be facing issues that you will have to fix. If you don't have spare hardware, you always can create a nested lab (ESXi on top of ESXi)

As you mentioned 6.7, check the “no VCP certifications” path (the second one on the list): VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization 2020 (VCP-DCV 2020)

You will need to complete authorised 6.7 training and pass 2 exams - Foundation and Professional.

To find out what topics are covered in each exam, follow the links on the page and download the exam guides. You’ll also find links in the guides to the documentation which you can use to learn how to set things up.
