1.
A systems programmer is asked to install a new IBM System zEC12 mainframe with 40 logical partitions. How many Logical Channel Subsystems (LCSS) must be defined to support this configuration?
2.
A systems programmer wants to cascade a new Brocade DCX 8510 to an existing DCX 8510. The systems programmer defined the domain ID in the LINK field of the CNTLUNIT macro as 0x10. Which domain ID should be defined within the DCX 8510 Director?
3.
You extensively use DB2 and have used MIDAW with good results. You recently purchased an IBM System zEC12 and an appropriate storage array. You have all the z/OS code levels and DASD array microcode requirements met to implement z High Performance FICON (zHPF). You are running FICON Express8S and have Brocade DCX 8510 FICON Directors. Which statement is true?
4.
A customer uses Brocade Network Advisor to copy the Allow/Prohibit matrix from a Brocade 5300 switch to a Brocade 6510 switch. What is the result?
5.
You have an IBM System zEC12 with a FICON SAN managed by Brocade Network Advisor for storage connectivity. You are implementing a multi-site virtual tape solution that uses IP replication between sites. You decide to use Brocade MLX Series routers for the IP replication traffic. Which statement is true?
6.
You want to overcome the limitation of 256 channel paths (CHPIDs) defined for a System z channel subsystem. Which System z architectural enhancement was introduced to overcome this limitation?
7.
You have a new, switch-based fabric that you want to use to provide connectivity for both mainframe FICON I/O and Windows FCP I/O. Which statement is true?
8.
A customer has an 8 Gbps 15 km distance cascaded Brocade DCX environment. Performance continues to degrade over time on their long distance ISLs. They migrated from Fabric OS v6.0 to Fabric OS v7.0 and solved the problem. Why did Fabric OS v7.0 solve the problem?
9.
A mainframe customer wants to attach open systems servers and storage onto an existing FICON fabric. What is Brocade's best practice?
10.
A Brocade DCX 8510 customer with a single link cascaded FICON fabric (20 km distance) running at 8 Gbps experiences an increasing number of bit failures. The customer receives 10 CRC errors per hour. Which action should be taken?
