Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is a primer for passing BCFP and BCSD. It contains very useful information and very readable. With this book and the references below, I was 80% ready for the BCSD exam, the other 20% being work experience.
The other references are from www.BrocadeConnect.com (free access with a sign-in account) :
Home > Technical Resource Center > Documentation Library > Technical "How To" Guides >
The main reference:
* Brocade SilkWorm Design, Deployment, and Management Guide Version 3.0 (PDF, 7.26 MB)
And for those short on experience, it will be useful to comb thru:
# Brocade Guide to Understanding Zoning (PDF, 301.81 KB)
# Brocade PortlogDump Reference Guide Version 1.0 (PDF, 1.71 MB)
# Brocade SilkWorm Multiprotocol Router SAN Design Guide Version 1.0 (PDF, 9.83 MB)
# Cable Management Guidelines Version 1.0 (PDF, 1.49 MB)
# Fabric Watch Guidelines Version 1.0 (PDF, 925.01 KB)
# LAN Guidelines For Brocade SilkWorm Switches (PDF, 920.8 KB)
# Long-distance Technologies for Storage Area Networks Version 2.0 (PDF, 130.1 KB)
# SAN Migration Guide Version 1.1 (PDF, 2.63 MB)
# SAN Security Best Practices Guide (PDF, 6.84 MB)
Having gone thru the experience of going in blindly for the BCSD exam, I thought I would help the initiated by providing more info:
1) There are 65 questions, to be completed within 90 minutes. Honestly I barely have time to finish all. Tip is to skip those you are unsure and return later.
2) The question's format consists of multiple choices, multiple answers, exhibits to click on.
3) I believe you need 70% to pass, at least for my case.
The 4 Sections examined are:
* Define SAN requirements/Interview End User
* Create a successful SAN design to suite requirements
* Implement SAN solutions
* Understand Impact of a SAN design upon Management
Wish y'all all the best :-)
