NSX-v – Design Deep Dive
This is the VMware NSX for vSphere Design Deep Dive. I have aggregated all of the design considerations I could find that need to be assessed in a VMware NSX-v architecture design. Brevity and bullet-points are used to keep the information concise and readable. If you want more information on a concept use the Additional Resources section at the end.
This post will be updated with additional information as part of the NSX Link-O-Rama. If you have content to contribute, post a comment below.
VCIX-NV Exam Recap
Today I took the VCIX-NV exam (VCXN610) and failed with a score of 277/500 (pass mark is 300). Really enjoyed the exam, NSX-v is such a cool piece of technology, it is fun to build stuff with the “swiss-army knife” of data center networking. I will retake the exam in two weeks. Update: 3 June 2015, passed today with 324/500. Lab latency was particularly bad this time.
NSX-v – Troubleshooting Deep Dive
This is the VMware NSX for vSphere Troubleshooting Deep Dive. I have aggregated all of the troubleshooting commands, diagrams and explanations that I could find into this post. Brevity and bullet-points are used to keep the information concise and readable. If you want more information on a concept use the Additional Resources section at the end.
You do not have access to an NSX-v lab environment and you want to practice these commands? Use HOL-SDC-1425 – VMware NSX Advanced.
