Hi Preetam
The information on your blog site is simply amazing and its purely by chance i came across it, thankful i have.
Just wondering, for the VCP 5 is there any chance you can put all information, in to a single pdf document?
That would be very useful, to help others study for their VCP5 exam.
Hope you dont mind, my suggestion.

Hi Preetam,
Just wanted to let you know that I love your blog. Thank you for making time to constantly blog so much good information.
Allow me to humbling make a recommendation. You have so much valuable information that it should be hosted on your own hosting account. God forbid WordPress.com change or do something to your content. If you host your blog on hostgator.com or any other web hosting company you will have total control of your content.
Good luck and keep sharing more great information.
Thanks for your comment and your valuable recommendations. I will definitely think about it.

To start prep for the exam in my home made lab, I have a ideia of :
2 Computers ESXi 5 with core2duo + 8 GB each and usb 8GBHDD pen (boot ) ( Dell Optiplex 755 )
1 Network Gibabyte 8 port
1 Computer Windows 2008 server with Vsphere 5 installer
1 NAS openfiller with 2 TB hdd ( for creating the VM that EXSi will manage )
I really need some help where, I read so much blogs and this there the most simple and practical one.
Any advise will be appreciated.
The exam is in June 2012, do I have enough time to finish my study till them? Who much time do I need to pass the VCP510 with home training and books?
Sorry for some many questions I’m a newby or noob person in is first attempt to VCP510
Thanks
Daniel, Thank you for your comment.
About hardware, it should be more than enough to setup a lab. All you should check if your hardware is compatible is on HCL or you can check VMware communities forum where help is always on its way.
About June 2012, i think you have very good time to prepare. Please stick to blue print and you are covered. Let me know if you need detailed explaination further.
Thank you for your woodwork preetam .Keep up the goodwork.
