An architect is designing a new POWER7 implementation consisting of a VIO Server (VIOS) and 6 AIX partitions. AIX partitions need to occasionally access a tape drive for restoration and backup of application data and tape access will not be required by more than on partition at any time. The performance of the solution is not critical and the architect wants to keep the cost to a minimum. Which of the following configurations will address the architects requirements?
An architect has been given the task of incorporating some new Power Systems servers running AIX 7 into an existing data center which is supported by a legacy SAN. The new servers will need to be connected to the SAN, and the LPARs on the servers will each have access to a Fibre Channel Tape using virtualized devices. Which action will the architect need to take?
A client is planning to purchase a Power 770 with 2 enclosures, and needs to have redundancy for multiple LPARs. Which of these solutions provides the most redundancy for the LPARs at least cost?
A new VIO Server environment has been created to support several VIO Clients. Disks have been assigned to both VIO Servers. Which of the following will ensure that disks can be mapped from both VIO Servers?
A client is designing a system to support three 24x7 applications, each in a different environment. The plan is to host these applications on a new POWER7 based server to add to their existing POWER6 servers. Virtual I/O Server will not be used.
The applications have the following OS and processor requirements:
AIX 6.1 with a peak of 2 cores between 10am-2pm
AIX 5.3 with a peak of 2 cores between 5pm-10pm
AIX 5.2 with a peak of 2 cores between 3am-7am
Outside the peak periods, the processor utilization is extremely low.
Which of the following configurations supports the design requirements?
A company has a VIO server supporting several infrastructure LPARs, including a NIM server, several NFS servers, and a document management server. Network connectivity is provided from the VIO server through the 1Gb IVE. The NIM clients frequently receive NFS Server not responding errors during installations due to the volume of traffic to the server. When planning an upgrade to POWER7 hardware, which action will minimize these errors?
To prevent frames being dropped as a result of network congestion on high speed links, IBM recommends enabling the use of pause frame on compatible switches and IVE adapters. Which attribute enables pause frames?
An administrator plans to implement Active Memory Expansion on several LPARs on a Power 770 system. Which tool should be used to determine the recommended LPAR settings for Active Memory Expansion?
A customer wants to compare a number of models within the POWER7 family to determine which is the best fit for their requirements. What centralized source would allow them to compare availability of Capacity on Demand and supported Hot-plug functions?
