VMware VCP 6.7-DCV – Objective 1.3 – Describe storage types for vSphere

by Samuel Mitchell, posted in VMware

The following notes will assist you to prepare for this objective:

  • Ensure you are clear on the differences between
    • Block (LUN/vVOL)
    • File access
    • vSAN
  • Read storage questions slowly and carefully
    • Are you being asked about VMs and their virtual hard disks?
    • Are you being asked about what storage vSphere can address?
  • VMware loves acronyms
    • For this objective, you need to learn lots of them
  • For example
    • Can you differentiate SIOC from VAIO?
    • Do you know if RDM is possible with NFS?
    • Happy with VASA providers?
