VCP6-DCV Delta Exam (2V0-621D) Study Guide and Exam Experience
Having effectively finished the VCP6-DCV Delta Exam (Pass4Sure 2V0-621D) this week, I thought it would be advantageous scribbling down a couple of musings on the exam, and noticing the assets I used to get ready for it.
I've already finished the VCP3, VCP4 and VCP5 "DCV" exams, however being particularly a delta exam, this one was somewhat unique. The exam basically covers the contrasts between vSphere 5 and vSphere 6, with a modest bunch of apparently more broad questions.
For synopsis impressions of the exam (i.e. the TLDR), bounce to the finish of this article! 🙂
Readiness
- I utilized the accompanying assets in prep for the exam:
The VCP6 Delta Exam Blueprint. I never truly genuinely valued the handiness of this archive until the most recent couple of years, yet I now utilize it as my essential study manage for all VMware exams. I found that the most ideal approach to do this was to duplicate the whole rundown of points into an archive (for my situation OneNote), and highlight the majority of the key branches of knowledge I expected to study up on.
Pluralsight Training Courses. I have been a major backer and client of Pluralsight (and their ancestor TrainSignal) video training for a long time. In spite of the fact that there is no particular course went for the delta exam, I just plunged all through the training to cover the territories officially recognized above from the diagram, where my insight was weakest.
What's New in VMware vSphere 6 from David Davis. This is an awesome synopsis course from David simply covering a portion of the fundamental new components in two or three hours.
A choice of recordings from the accompanying middle of the road vSphere 6 courses from Greg Shields. The names of the subsections and recordings are for the most part pleasantly connected to the title segments in the outline (which is helpful):
- vSphere 6 Data Center: Deploy and Consolidate a vSphere Datacenter
- vSphere 6 Data Center: Administer and Manage Virtual Machines
- vSphere 6 Data Center: Backup and Recover a vSphere Deployment
- vSphere 6 Datacenter: Configure Availability Solutions
- vSphere 6 Data Center: Configure Advanced Storage
- vSphere 6 Data Center: Configure Advanced Networking
- vSphere 6 Data Center: Configure and Administer Security
vBrownBag VCP6 sessions. The folks and ladies at vBrownBag are genuinely amazing, just like the substance they deliver on a week by week premise! Most as of late they have done an arrangement on the VCP-DCV exam, split by area, so again on the off chance that you utilize the diagram as your manual for what you have to study, you can essentially plunge all through the video sessions are required.
A few illustration sessions I viewed were:
- Segment 1: Configure and Administer vSphere 6 Security
- Segment 4: Upgrade a vSphere Deployment to 6.x
- VMware Hands on Labs.
- HOL-SDC-1408 – What's New with Virtual SAN 6
The accompanying Hands on Labs were on my rundown as possibly extremely valuable, however I just came up short on time to do them:
- HOL-SDC-1627 – VVol, Virtual SAN and Storage Policy-Based Management
- HOL-SDC-1604 vSphere Performance Optimization
- HOL-CHG-1695 vSphere 6 Challenge Lab
- HOL-SDC-1608 Virtual SAN 6 from beginning to end
My Intel NUC Nanolab homelab. I finished a redesign from vSphere 5.5 to 6.0 in my homelab, and messed around with a heap of the new components. I have reported the update procedure in a post which I will get posted soon, however the best news for me was that vSphere 6 appears to now bolster the majority of the drivers in the base, thus no longer requires extra VIBs! 🙂

The Exam
The exam itself was distinctive to any past VCP exam I've done. I would state that on the grounds that the extent of the exam was much smaller, the profundity of the questions appeared to me to be fundamentally more, with a couple truly dubious ones tossed in there.
Over all if I somehow managed to do it once more (and when it comes time to do the VCP7 in a couple of years) I would most likely simply do the full Pass VMware 2V0-621D Exam Dumps Lab Practice Test, as opposed to the delta. That way you can make certain of a not too bad number of the simple peasy questions which will presumably be on stuff you've been accomplishing for a considerable length of time, and additionally the new stuff you may not know very also.
Clearly having not done the full VCP6 exam I can't state this without a doubt, yet I would state it's a truly decent wagered.
