IBM Power Systems with POWER7 and AIX Technical Sales Skills - v1 Set 4

1.

An IT director needs to deploy 3 partitions, each using dedicated internal boot disk. Which system will support the customer requirement using the least amount of rack space?

Power 770 servers Power 750 servers Power 755 servers Power 720 servers

2.

A customer is evaluating using the PCIe SSD adapter for the system boot in their new Power 750. Redundancy and hotswap capability are required. What configuration supports the customer requirements?

Configure the PCIe SSD adapter and drive modules as a JBOD Configure a pair of mirrored PCIe SSD adapters and drive modules Configure the PCIe SSD adapter and drive modules in a RAID6 array Configure the PCIe SSD adapter and drive modules in a RAID5 array

3.

A company runs very large database applications on multiple HPUX servers. They recently upgraded the device drivers for their fibre channel HBAs and have suffered numerous crashes on several systems. Which feature of Power Systems running AIX would help eliminate this problem during prerelease Testing of a new device driver?

Redundant VIO servers Storage Protection Keys Electronic Service Agent NPIV support in the kernel

4.

A customer wants to run DB2 on a Power 780 with uncapped partitions. They have licensed DB2 for 32 of the 64 active cores, and will use it in multiple partitions. How can the customer ensure that the number of licenses purchased for DB2 is not exceeded?

Create a 32core shared processor pool for the DB2 partitions. Limit the number of virtual processors on each DB2 partition to 32. Use the IBM License Metric Tool to dynamically manage DB2 usage in the partitions. Set the 'Desired Processing Units' in each DB2 partition profile so that the sum of all partitions equals 32.

5.

A customer has two Power 770 systems with 4 enclosures each. Thirty two cores and 1TB of memory are activated on each system. Each system has 3 database partitions and each partition has 10 cores and 300GB of memory. Which solution will provide automated recovery of unplanned outages at least cost?

Purchase PowerVM Enterprise Edition. Use System Director to automate Live Partition Mobility to recover from partition failure. Create additional shared processor partitions as standby nodes. Use PowerHA SystemMirror to activateand use CoD resources when a failover occurs. Purchase an additional 32core Power 750 with PowerHA SystemMirror Standard Edition. Use the newsystem as standby node with the XD component of PowerHA. Purchase an additional Power 770 system. Locate production and standby database partitions on eachsystem. Use DB2 pureScale to provide automated partition monitoring and failover.

6.

A customer has ten RS/6000 Model M80, two pSeries 690 Model 681, five POWER5 510 and two POWER6 560 machines installed and running commercial applications. They want to do a server consolidation study in order to replace the existing systems with POWER7 systems. What performance metric is recommended when evaluating the replacement system?

IBM CPW IBM rPerf SPECint_rate2006 IDEAS International RPE2

7.

Which of the following is a correct statement about rPerf?

It can only be used on systems running without partitions. It is relevant for IBM systems running the AIX operating system. It is the main benchmark for sizing systems that will run HPC applications. It has a direct relationship with other benchmarks like TPCC and SpecjAppServer2004.

8.

The systems administrator of a large manufacturer has POWER5 and POWER6 servers, each with LPARs running AIX 6.1. They are running several workloads including SAP, DNS, Oracle, DB2 and WebSphere Application Server, and plan to consolidate onto one POWER7 server. How can the system administrator determine how much benefit Active Memory Expansion (AME) could provide for the consolidated system?

Run amepat now on all of the existing LPARs. Run amepat after consolidation on all LPARs. Run amepat now on all existing LPARs running on the POWER6 servers. Run amepat now on all existing LPARs running database applications.

9.

Which of the following virtualization options are unique to AIX and PowerVM compared to other UNIX based offerings?

Software virtualization through PowerVM and hardware virtualization through IBM Systems Director. Hardware virtualization through Workload Partitions (WPARS) and software virtualization through PowerVM. Software virtualization through Workload Partitions (WPARS) and hardware virtualization through PowerVM. Hardware virtualization through Workload Partitions (WPARS) and software virtualization through IBMSystems Director.
