in Virtualization
Exam scheduled for this Saturday. Originally had it scheduled for Thursday, but that was a little too aggressive. It's somewhat of a low hanging fruit for me. Hopefully 2 weeks is enough.

    I'm interested in doing this cert after DCA and maybe before DCD. My networking is a little weak so I'm interested to see how I get on with it, I think Pluralsight have videos being released this month about NSX so I'll give those a watch before playing about with it in the lab.

    Good luck with it Dave!

    Which materials did you use in preparing? It's something I want to achieve too, since it overlaps between my networking and virtualization knowledge. :)

    Read the pdfs off the blueprint. I skipped the vSphere ones and skimmed the vCAC ones (pretty familiar with vSphere and vCAC). As for the lab, I'm using the VMware HOL. A lot of the virtual networking concept is familiar to me, since I went through it while studying for the Cloud certs.

    Failed it. Got a 273. I guess ~3 weeks of studying isn't quite enough. Overall I thought the exam was fair.

    Passing score is 300. In terms of difficulty, it's about as hard as DCV. There's lots of stuff to learn. I'll try again at a later. As a VMware employee I do get 2 free attempt voucher.

    I got wait listed for end of the month ICM class and registered for a class in Nov. This exam may go to the back burner depending on the wait list.

    Congrats mate! There was little doubt you'd not pass. Onto the VCIX now? I wonder how it stacks up with the VCAPs. The 'Expert' in the name indicates it may be harder than the VCAPs.

    Congrats!

    Been reading into this cert myself, pretty hard-set on going deep into VMware and Cisco (as a specialization) so SDN seems to go hand-in-hand with this track..

    Thanks all. As an added bonus, all my VCPs have new expiration date.

    @Essendon,

    No VCIX. Switching gears to vCO.

    Currently attending the NSX-ICM course, I can tell you that the course covers about 80% of the exam requirements, the design and admin guides are what you need to concentrate on.
