This is just a little autocelebrative post :)

I’ve passed my exam some day ago, so now I’m a VCP!!!

I’m really happy and proud about that, so I want to share this feeling with all the world!

A special thanks goes to my wife, that has supported me all the time.

And a big thanks to all the blogger: all your posts has been useful in the preparation.

I will do a future post about the sources that I’ve used for studying. I want to just mention one here:

This study notes and the practice exams are really useful. Thanks Simon!

Yesterday VMware released update 2 for it’s vSphere 4.0 platform.

This release includes:

ESX/ESXi 4.0 update 2
vCenter Server 4.0 update 2
vCenter Update Manager 4 Update 2
VMWare Data Recovery 1.2

There are no new features in ESX/ESXi and vCenter.

The update for ESX/ESXi primarily introduces additional hardware support, in particular FT support for Intel Xeon 34xx, Xeon56xx and Core i3/i5 CPUs.

The update for vCenter introduces environment customization for additional guest operating systems: the most notable for me are SLES 11, RedHat 4.8, 5.4, 5.5 and Debian 5.0

The update for Update Manager improve reliability of operations on hosts in low bandwitdh/lossy networks.

The most interesting update is VDR 1.2. Here there are new features:
