Today I found that I could not press my Volume down/F11 key on my MacBook Air and get the Hypervisor install EULA acceptance screen to 'hear me' - instead OSX was stealing the F11 function to show my desktop.
The way I got around it was to temporarily unassign F11 from "show desktop" in OSX.
To do this I went to;
System Prefs>Keyboard>Shortcuts tab
I then un-ticked "show desktop" which was assigned to F11, and this did the trick :)

vSphere Features by Edition Quiz
I have entered the vSphere Features by Edition (Standard/Enterprise/Enterprise Plus) into Quizlet and it has automatically turned this info into a multiple choice quiz;
If you want to study them, the flashcards are here;
With the flashcards you can start with the definition (click "start with: definiton") to turn it into a gentle test - clicking shuffle helps too ;)
VCP 6 DCV Foundation Exam Study
One of the great things about working for the company I do is that they pay for us engineers to take training course and sit exams etc.
Having let my VCP 5 expire at the end of last year due to not having time to re-certify in the 2 year window, I needed one of the £1000+ VMware courses to qualify me for VCP-status, as well as passing the exam of course!
Luckily work have foot all these bills, and I am now looking at sitting the VCP Foundation Exam at the end of this week (they have also given me some study leave!!).
So, to the meat of my post;
I have been using these #vBrownBag videos to help me prepare, and I cannot rate them highly enough!!
They also have VCP DCV (i.e non foundation) videos.

I am hoping to make some flash cards to help me remember PSC RAM\CPU\Disk sizes etc, if I get round to that I'll post a link to them on this blog.
Good luck to me and anyone else taking these exams!!
