The Quest to VCP5

I recently took the "Installing/Configuring/Administering vSphere 5" class, and am now on the quest to studying for and taking the VCP5 exam. In an attempt to help study for it, naturally, I went through the BluePrint provided by VMware. Below is a compilation of all 7 Objectives for the VCP5 BluePrint. This is by no means all of my own work, as I mostly just took screenshots/text from other blogs/sites - I just made it more convenient by putting it all together in documents. I did however fill out Objective 7 using the vSphere Documentation Center :-)

Special props to vinfrastructure.it as I got most of the information from their own BluePrint Guide.

• Objective 1 - Plan, Install, Configure and Upgrade vCenter Server and VMware ESXi [PDF]
• Objective 2 - Plan and Configure vSphere Networking [PDF]
• Objective 3 - Plan and Configure vSphere Storage [PDF]
• Objective 4 - Deploy and Administer Virtual Machines and vApps [PDF]
• Objective 5 - Establish and Maintain Service Levels [PDF]
• Objective 6 - Perform Basic Troubleshooting and Alarm Management [PDF]
• Objective 7 - Monitor a vSphere Implementation [PDF]

In addition, below is a list of links to all of the vSphere 5 related WhitePapers that are referenced throughout the BluePrint [will be updated later tonight!]:
