Passed VCP5-DCV
After 2 months and an half studying VMware and went through official training, i’m really happy to say I’m officially VCP5-DCV for the next 2 years!
Pre-Requirements
One of the big pre-requirements is to have official training which cost around ~3500 USD, but if your are alone on this journey you can check a VMware IT Academy (VITA) for an online or classroom training. The cost on a VITA will vary between ~200 and 700 USD.To pick one of this courses on VITA there are pre-requirements also like unemployed, career changers, etc.
Materials
I’ve build my home Lab with 3 physical Servers, you can build yours using VMware Workstation, performance it’s not required here :). After vSphere ICM course, i’ve read VCP5-DCV Official Certification Guide to clarify some gaps. I’ve watched also CBT Nuggets VMware 5.5 (my notes on this are unfinished). VCP Community ad documentation Center for 5.5 is also a great resource.
I leave here my notes for both courses:
VMware vSphere Install Configure and Manage 5.5
A few good resources while i was studying:
Exam
Exam Code:VCP550PSE
Duration (Time):120 minutes + 30 extension (only for non-native Countries)
Number of Questions:136
Passing Score:300
This exam code is the same in essence like VCP550, the different it was scheduled from a VITA student
VMware RoadMap
This is the roadmap for Version 5, and now it’s time to go to VCIX-NV

Training on VMware ICM 5.5
There are different paths to be VMware Certified Professional 5 – Data Center Virtualization (VCP5-DCV), but the big requirement is have official training which costs loads of money, specially if you are running alone in this journey.
To fill this requirement you can use Training Partners of VMware or using VMware IT Academies (VITA), which are much more cheap (just found a few of them).
This will be fun over next weeks :)

Rescan NIC on Centos
After clone a VM (Centos 6) in Vmware i was not able to use the nic (eth0), after some research it was using the same original VM MAC-ADDRESS (00:0c:29:2c:a9:ae)
To solve it i did:
rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Because this is my lab i can reboot my vservers whenever i want :), so i rebooted
After reboot i was able too see correct mac-address assigned to my vserver
[[email protected] ~]# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules # This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules # program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file. # # You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single # line, and change only the value of the NAME= key. # PCI device 0x8086:0x100f (e1000) (custom name provided by external tool) SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0c:29:2c:a9:af", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
Eth0 Interface pick up the right MAC and i was able to communicate with my Lab World :)
[[email protected] ~]# vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=00:0C:29:2c:a9:af TYPE=Ethernet UUID=9e18221f-2e93-4326-8923-d3f834d15c62 ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=yes BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.0.0.100 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=10.0.0.254
