Dell Ismv4 exam

I agree, i just took the exam and it is challenging. I failed twice now, but all my fault as it requires you to lock yourself away for a week or so and understand terms and applications of formulas and steps.I have been reading the 800 pages and doing quizlets, along side of work and being a mom. So it may take me another try, overall the test focus a lot on steps of OpenID/ OAuthID processes, Recovery/ Backup Operation steps, MTTR/IA, and Networking protocols and formulas on RAID and Disk Service Time. Each time is a different view of the test, so hard to know what you will get. But if you are open, I am looking for a tutor or a group session to prepare for the next one. My goal is to pass before September 23rd. Let me know if you all would like to study together.

Good Luck  

Sorry for my delayed reply I was busy working on veeam, Thank you so much for your feedback

Naomi,

I'd already found those as part of the ODLC and I'm sorry to say I found them practically worthless having already sat the practice test which is all they seem to talk about. The one good thing I got was an answer to a practice test question which had been eluding me ("From the choices given, what is a Configuration Item (CI)?").

Someone really needs to go through the on-demand content and the student guide to make sure they're in harmony/sync as they're not. From things missing (text, graphics, content) in one that are not in the other. e.g. "FC Addressing in a switched fabric" : On-demand content had no text overlay on the graphic (slide 209) and the accompanying page in the student guide (PDF page 318) has an error "FC address size is 24 bits. Bits 07-00 Port ID, Bits 15-08 Area ID, Bits *23-26* Domain ID" when the latter should be 'Bits 23-16 Domain ID' and it's this text that was missing from the on-demand content's graphic. PDF page 461/printed page 451 : Erasure Coding, the text on the graphic isn't aligned and part of the graphic is missing, there should be three encoded fragments but only one is shown.

Even simple things like lining the content up on the page - sub-topic header at the bottom of one page with it's associated content on the next, why not re-size it so it fits properly and makes it easier to read? I even found one page in the student guide that was duplicated.

I took the IS&M v4 exam on Friday and got lucky I guess as I passed. I too had a question about the number of drives required to meet a specific objective and the only place I found that covered/explained was an assessment quiz question in the on-demand content, the same question wasn't in the student PDF guide unless I overlooked it.

Anyway, on to PowerStore (and some of the same gripes about the student guide presentation are already arising).

Can I ask were did you get the document from which you are studying currently?
