VCP 5 exam thoughts

Just passed my VCP 5 this morning. Was pretty tough for me as there were quite a few questions pertaining to vDSwitches, and my experience set is almost entirely Nexus 1000v based, so I"m sure I got those wrong.

Almost no configuration maximum questions (the only one I remember is the maximum LUNs presentable to single host) lots of vswitch scenario, policy questions. Quite a few on memory limits, reservations, and lots of CPU performance troubleshooting. A number of questions on the DCUI and what you can change/modify there, and what items are downloadable off the ESXi host homepage.

All around a tough but fair exam I think. Pretty obvious you couldn't just bootcamp it, you need pretty intimate familiarity with the UIs.
