VMware ESXi and vSphere

Where to start

Start with the vSphere 6 Foundations Quiz if you want to practice questions on ESXi installation and vSphere networking. Its questions include installation options and a vSphere Distributed Switch. For another networking focus, Personal Test asks about infrastructure requirements such as inbound traffic shaping and Private VLANs.

Both are quizzes, so you can use the questions to see which areas you want to examine more closely. The page also includes material for professional candidates preparing for VCP and other VMware certification questions.

Move through the questions

After starting with installation and networking, look at Vmware VCP. Its questions include conditions that can prevent VMware Flash Read Cache from claiming a disk and statements about vSphere Auto Deploy infrastructure. New Questions TEST includes questions on a vCenter Server account and administrator tasks involving the vmkernel log.

For a different focus, the reading assignment quiz asks about vSphere Fault Tolerance and Datastore Heartbeating. These quizzes offer different starting points rather than a required sequence. Choose the questions that match what you are studying or preparing to teach.

Use maps alongside quizzes

The page lists mind maps titled Virtualization, VMware and Hypervisor. Open a map alongside a quiz and look for ideas that relate to the questions you are working on. You can return to the quiz after reviewing the map, or use its questions to decide what to examine next.

Flashcards are also listed, including a deck titled vSAN. They offer another format to explore alongside the quizzes and maps.

Explore the unit
