IBM Power Systems with POWER7 and AIX Technical Sales Skills - v1 Set 3

1.

A customer wants to implement Oracle RAC and is comparing the features and benefits of using either raw devices or GPFS. What is a benefit of using GPFS in this solution?

GPFS is included with AIX Standard Edition for 2-node clusters. GPFS offers data protection by implementing a RAID-5-like storage allocation. GPFS allows for a cluster with nodes running heterogeneous operating systems. GPFS offers the performance capabilities of a raw device and the manageability of a file system.

2.

After purchasing the Active Memory Expansion (AME) Enablement Feature, what tasks must be completed before AME can be used?

Enable using active partition properties with DLPAR. Enter the activation key via the AIX 6.1 command line and reboot AIX. Enter the activation key via the HMC, power cycle the managed system and start the LPAR. Enter the activation key via the HMC, modify the partition profile, and restart the LPAR.

3.

A customer has DB2 running on three POWER5 520s with AIX 5.2 and is planning to consolidate the systems on a new Power 740 with AIX 7.1. The customer is reviewing the RPE2 benchmark data to validate that the proposed solution will work. Why should rPerf be used instead of RPE2?

The rPerf benchmark is run on every server model to obtain performance data, while RPE2 frequently uses extrapolations. rPerf includes the performance impact to AIX due to the introduction of new features, while RPE2 does notfocus on software versions The rPerf metric considers the number of cores, memory utilization by the applications, I/O transactions,and RPE2 only measures core performance. rPerf is obtained by duplicating the production environment, representing the most accurate performance ofthe installed systems, and RPE2 uses analytical models.

4.

What is one of the key benefits of Active Memory Sharing (AMS) to client LPARs?

Adds more memory using the On/Off Capacity on Demand feature Assigns memory using DLPAR capability according to workload priority Adds additional memory using the Permanent Capacity on Demand feature Adjusts memory dynamically allocation depending on workload characteristics

5.

System software for the Power 770 is licensed at what tier?

HPC Small Large Medium

6.

A customer is considering a highly available infrastructure for its SAP application. They have one 48-core Power 770 server running multiple AIX 6.1 partitions for database and application server functions. All the partitions must recover with the same processing capacity. In addition to storage and networking at a secondary location, what must be added to provide for automatic recovery after a total failure at the primary site?

Two Power 750 systems, plus DB2 pureScale for database and application partitions on both systems. One Power 770 system, plus PowerHA SystemMirror Enterprise Edition for database and applicationpartitions on both systems. One Power 750 for each of the database and application partitions, plus PowerHA SystemMirror StandardEdition licenses for all systems. One Power 770 system, plus DB2 pureScale running the database partition and Tivoli Systems Automationfor the application partitions on both systems.

7.

Which POWER7 internal storage option improves performance, reduces response time, and increases mission critical OLTP application productivity?

15K RPM SAS drives Solid State drives 15K RPM SATA drives USB Removable drives

8.

Which of the following PowerHA SystemMirror for AIX Enterprise Edition statements is correct?

It can scale up to 1024 cluster nodes. It provides for application failover without downtime. It allows data replication via TCP/IP and host-based remote mirroring. It requires all partitions in a system to run the same AIX version and technology level.

9.

When differentiating LPARs and WPARs, which statement is correct?

WPARs share only operating system resources. LPARs share only operating system resources. WPARs share operating system and hardware resources. LPARs share operating system and hardware resources.

10.

Which of the following is enabled by using NPIV technology for fibre channel adapters?

Sharing SAN disks as vSCSI disks Multipathing and load balancing SAN traffic Combining SAN and LAN traffic on one adapter Virtualization and sharing of SAN adapters with client LPARs
