IBM Virtualization Technical Support for AIX and Linux - v2 Sample Questions:
As a result of an acquisition, an administrator is planning to consolidate some single-LPAR POWER6 520 servers onto an existing POWER7 server.
The administrator is attempting to make these 520 systems HMC-managed.
The network connection between the 520 system and an existing operational HMC have been verified and checked. However the POWER6 machines fail to appear on the HMC panels.
What is the most likely resolution for this issue?
- A. The Flexible Service Processor (FSP) needs to be reset on each POWER6 520.
- B. Upgrade to either PowerVM Standard or Enterprise edition.
- C. Power cycle the physical system.
- D. The POWER6 boxes need to be reset back to factory defaults.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
To prevent frames being dropped as a result of network congestion on high speed links, IBM recommends enabling the use of pause frame on compatible switches and IVE adapters. Which attribute enables pause frames?
- A. Flow Control
- B. Port Group MCS
- C. Jumbo Frames
- D. 802.3ad
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
Compared to the backup strategy for a VIO Server, what additional element needs to be backed up in an IVM deployment?
- A. LPAR profile data
- B. PowerVM Edition keys
- C. Storage pool definitions
- D. LHEA port allocation
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
An application requires 40GB of memory, but only 20GB of memory can be allocated to the partition.
What Active Memory Expansion factor should be set for the Hypervisor to target 40GB of memory?
- A. 0.5
- B. 2.0
- C. 20
- D. 200
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
A client is designing a system to support three 24x7 applications, each in a different environment. The plan is to host these applications on a new POWER7 based server to add to their existing POWER6 servers. Virtual I/O Server will not be used.
The applications have the following OS and processor requirements: AIX 6.1 with a peak of 2 cores between 10am-2pm
AIX 5.3 with a peak of 2 cores between 5pm-10pm
AIX 5.2 with a peak of 2 cores between 3am-7am
Outside the peak periods, the processor utilization is extremely low.
Which of the following configurations supports the design requirements?
- A. Each applications each needs its own LPAR running native AIX.
The LPAR must be running the appropriate version of AIX.
The LPARs can all use the shared pool and be uncapped. - B. The AIX 5.2 can be hosted in a WPAR in an AIX 7.1 LPAR.
The AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 can each have their own LPAR.
All LPARs can use the shared processor pool. - C. The LPAR profiles can set the processor mode to POWER6
The AIX 6.1 and AIX 5.3 LPARs can be migrated using Live Partition Mobility.
The AIX 5.2 could only be migrated if it is in a WPAR. - D. A minimum of four processor activations is required.
Two dedicated processors for an AIX 5.2 LPAR.
AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 can share 2 processors
