You will be migrating several hundred Windows/Intel servers to Linux on your IBM System z196. You are considering the differences between FICON Express8 channels and the FCP channels used with Linux. Which statement is correct?

You plan to deploy a Brocade DCX family chassis with the default zoning mode of "All Access" and without any other zoning. Which statement is true?

A customer wants to be alerted if any failures occur on the E_Ports connecting the cascaded FICON Directors. Which tool will allow this level of monitoring?

A customer has a Brocade DCX 8510-8 cascaded fabric but is using 8 Gbps SFPs only. What statement is true?

A systems programmer is required to share channels across logical partitions and channel subsystems regardless of the channel subsystem to which the LPAR is configured. Which feature will the systems programmer need to implement?

A customer replaces an M6140 FICON Director with a new Brocade DCX Director. The M6140 was cascaded to an existing DCX that is in interopmode 2. Now the new DCX is cascaded to the old DCX. Attempts to upgrade the firmware in the new DCX from v6.4.2a to v7.0.0c fail. What is the reason for the firmware upgrade failure?

You have enabled FMS on a Brocade DCX 8510 FICON Director so you can have the FICON Director Activity Report (RMF 74-7) record. You look for the RMF reports and notice that the RMF 74-7 record is not being created for the FICON Directors. You have verified that FMS licenses are installed and enabled and the DCXs are properly configured in the sysgen. What is keeping the RMF 74-7 records from being created?

A user wants to disable failover on a Traffic Isolation (TI) Zone. What should be considered before disabling failover?

In an effort to maintain a FICON high availability (HA) architecture, you have separated local production traffic and data being sent to the remote data center. Local production traffic is isolated to its own logical fabric. The data to be transported across the WAN is isolated into a different logical fabric. What is the reason for isolating these environments?

A systems programmer must determine the machine type, model, and serial number of an attached node. Which type of FICON data will provide this information?
