Study for VCP4.1 with ESXi5 Lab

toptek

I've had to rebuild my lab and downloaded and configured the 60 day ESXi5 trial on one of my boxes.

Is this a bad idea as I'm studying for VCP4.1? Should I install 4.1 instead? I've been unable to find a download for 4.1 on VMware site as it is all ESXi5 now.

Thanks

You didn't look very hard then...

Thanks. Don't know how I missed that.

I wouldn't recommend preparing for VCP41 using vSphere 5 - how do you know if certain behaviour, limitations, features that you see in 5 are the same in 4?

We've started testing out vSphere 5 at work recently, and until passing VCP4, I deliberately did not touch the new version, so it wouldn't confuse me on the exam...

Sounds like you just started studying. It would be better to study for VCP5 vs. 4.
