Note: It may take more than 90 minutes to complete this lab. You should expect to only finish 2-3 of the modules during your time. The modules are independent of each other so you can start at the beginning of any module and proceed from there. You can use the Table of Contents to access any module of your choosing.
The Table of Contents can be accessed in the upper right-hand corner of the Lab Manual.

Location of the Main Console
- The area in the left box contains the Main Console and will not be used for the duration of this Simulated Lab. The Lab Manual is on the tab to the Right of the Main Console.
- Use the black bar within the MANUAL section to drag the reading pane open or close to give you more or less desktop space.
- Your lab starts with 90 minutes on the timer. The lab can not be saved. All your work must be done during the lab session. But you can click the EXTEND to increase your time. If you are at a VMware event, you can extend your lab time twice, for up to 30 minutes. Each click gives you an additional 15 minutes. Outside of VMware events, you can extend your lab time up to 9 hours and 30 minutes. Each click gives you an additional hour.
- Use the Hands-on Labs assistant for quick answers, live online support, connectivity issues and many more FAQ's.
