Paul McSharry — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 00:17:41 +0000

Its VCP upgrade time again. For current VCP 4 holders the deadline to upgrade without the course requirement is Feb 29th 2012. So not too much time left!

I recently sat and thankfully passed the Instructor version of this test. It was the normal VCP 5 test with a higher pass mark requirement (350/500).

Standard vSwitch Build Script
