Robert's inspiration database of questions for the exam 2018/19

Always check references for ESXi 6.5 and vCenter 6.7
Only those versions are valid for this exam

Welcome

[edit] Be aware (beware)

• The phrasing of the questions might change
• The selectable answers might change completely
• Some questions are forever (?) missing the image (exhibit)

[edit] Total Exam Layout

• c:a två frågor ifrån Andreas föreläsningar (inklusive räkneuppgift liknande "mattestugan")
• En till två uppgifter diskuterande om VMware
• Ett stort antal VMware kryssfrågor
• Ett litet antal resonerande max/min-frågor baserade på vSphere 6.5 Configuration Maximums

[edit] Rob's thinking

I will be very much inspired by these questions when writing the multiple choice portion of the exam.

HINT: Learn the area the questions is about; not just string-matching of right answer to right question
