VCAP DCA Voucher Give Away – Round 2, Live Lab

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends…

On this week’s BrowBag we’re giving away yet another VCAP-DCA voucher. As we talked about before, round 2 will be a live lab. What do I mean? The first person who meets these two requirements by Tuesday, February 15, 2011:

  1. Has a workable solution to the following lab
  2. Is willing to present said solution at a BrownBag (We can record at a time that works well for you).

The Lab

Scenario:

Your company has purchased 3 servers and an iSCSI SAN as an additional production cluster. As administrator you must complete the following tasks:

  • Configure the hosts for availability and resource distribution
  • Enable future growth for the hosts
  • Enable power savings
  • Ensure the configuration of all hosts is consistent and auditable
  • Configure iSCSI to support production work loads
  • In addition to iSCSI, you must also support an HA Web network segment

Things to keep in mind:

This environment will support production virtual machines. Ensuring redundant paths and minimizing single points of failure is critical.

Solutions:

We’re not insensitive to the fact that not every home lab will be able to support this. However, with a powerful workstation & VMware Workstation (or Fusion), you should be able to give this a go.

Submissions

Please send your answers along to contest@professionalvmware.com. The format will be more or less a textual description (or screenshots if you’re so inclined) of what you would tell the person on the other side of a support call.

Deadline:

Tuesday, February 15, 2011 @ 8PM CST

Example:

Enable EVC on a Cluster:

  • Open the vSphere Client
  • Locate your Cluster
  • Right Click, Edit Settings
  • VMware EVC
  • And so on…

The Voucher

The voucher will be good for 50% off your VMware VCAP-DCA exam if taken on or before March 31, 2011.

Good Luck!
