Design Workshop preparation

[Bartmosss]

Hi all,

I am going to attend the vSphere Design Workshop training at PEX 2013.  Is there any preparation that I could do to help me ?

To date, I have read Forbes Guthries vSphere Design book. I have also started to listen to vBrownbag VCAP-DCD series and collected many links to prepare for VCAP-DCD.

My goal is to write the test for VCAP-DCD in late spring..

Thanks you!

Bartmoss,

The few things I would say that might help are the Trainsignal VMware Design video, VMware vSphere 5.1 Clustering Deepdive is a great read as well as the VCP5 VMware Certified Professional on vSphere 5 study guide. If you can get your hands on autolabs and play around with that as well, you will be very well off.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I am sure Trainsignal Design Video are great, but at 400$ it is over my training budget after the expense for the Design Workshop..

Perhaps, but I would pay from my pocket.

Clustering and VCP guide are great too. I have read them both.

Never tried Autolab.

I would have liked to opinion of a VMware Trainer on the preparation for the Design workshop ?

If you already know some design aspect of vSphere you do not need more. Course is quite good.
