A company which sells books and DVDs runs their business on AIX Enterprise Edition on a Power 795. They have LPARs running back-office applications and other LPARs supporting their Internet based retail operations. They are considering a policy of switching between TurboCore mode and MaxCore mode, depending on workload. Which of the following considerations will have the most impact on the customer's business?
A customer has an existing deployment of IBM i LPARs running on POWER6 hardware. The customer is planning to add new AIX and IBM i LPARs on the same hardware.

A system administrator is installing a third-party monitoring agent on a security-hardened VIO server. The installation of the agent completes without errors, initializes, and network routing is correct, but the monitoring server cannot communicate with the agent installed on the VIO server. What action is necessary to fix this situation?
An administrator configured IVE in their Power 570 with a multicore scaling (MCS) value of 8. After some time they decided to add more LPARs to the system. To allow more logical ports for the new LPARs, the administrator changed the MCS value in the HMC to 4. When configuring the new LPAR profiles, the administrator does not see the extra ports. Which of the following is the most likely reason ?
A customer is ordering 10 Power 795 servers. Each system will be configured with 256 cores and 1TB RAM. Two hundred LPARs will be created on each system. Redundant HMCs are a mandatory requirement for the customer. What is the minimum number of HMCs necessary to support the customer requirement?
A customer is ordering new Power 780 and 795 hardware. Within their data center, existing HMCs already manage POWER5 and POWER6 deployments. These existing HMCs are either 7310-CR2, 7042-CR4 or 7042- CR5 models. What must be considered with regard to the management of POWER7 hardware?
A system administrator is preparing to restore a VIO Server (VIOS) partition with a backup that resides on a Network Install Manager (NIM) server. The VIOS backup image ioslevel is FP24 (2.2.0.10-FP24). The NIM server has an lpp_source at oslevel 6100-05-06-1034, and a SPOT at the same level. In addition to the VIOS backup image, which of the following NIM resources will be required in order to properly restore the VIOS backup image?
An administrator has configured a system to provide resilient networking through the use of SEA failover. The administrator wants to know if the SEA for one VIO server, ent10, is the active adapter. Which of the following commands could the administrator use to determine the status of ent10?
