You may have noticed a new link on the left hand side of the page called VCP-310 Exam's. Due to the sheer volume of people studying for the VCP-310 exam and the lack of practice testing resources on the web I have made my own practice exams. I made up all the questions myself so there might be some errors, if there are then just let me know. It is quite time consuming to make up all these questions and put them online, so please be patient as it is a work in progress. There are a few more sections to add and the number of questions in the sections will also expand as i get time to think them up. Give it a go and if you have any comments or problems with them be sure to hit the contact me link to let me know.

Any Happy IT Manager or ESX Administrator will always give credit of his / her happiness to their IT Monitoring System(s). There're no exception to monitoring in the datacentre - Whether it's UPS, network equipments or the servers.
The blanket rule is - All systems MUST be monitored & alerted appropriately.
With proper monitoring in-place, you can relax in a bar with your boss or Incident Manager rather than sitting in a round table conference every morning !!

Many tools are available in the market (e.g., Tivoli, MOM, Insight Manager), but the real challenge lies in - budget, approval process, resourcing, relevant skill, knowledge - The list goes on and on and on ....

In this article, I'm going to cover how to quickly setup your ESX hardware monitoring for your HP Servers using HP Insight Manager.
