Microsoft-TS Windows HPC Server 2008, Configuring and Managing Set 1

You are a system administrator for your company. Your company network has an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. All servers in the network run Windows Server 2008. The company plans to install a new HPC cluster and configure it as a separate forest named hpc.fabrikam.com. You create a new Active DirectoryCintegrated DNS zone named hpc.fabrikam.com that is hosted on the contoso.com DNS server. You need to configure the hpc.fabrikam.com DNS zone to accept automatic registration of the cluster nodes. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. The cluster serves 15 users who are members of only the Domain Users group. Users report that they do not know when their jobs have failed and so they are unable to resolve the issues. You need to ensure that the users can obtain information about their jobs that have failed. What should you instruct the users to do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has three nodes named node1, node2, and node3. You have the following script: Job Submit /ID:28 job add 28 /requirednodes:node1,node2 /name:Task1 task1.exe job add 28 /requirednodes:node1,node2 /name:Task2 /depend:Task1 task2.exe job add 28 /requirednodes:node1,node2 /name:Task3 /depend:Task2 task3.exe job submit 28 You need to find out the result of the script. Which option correctly defines the result of the script?

You administer the Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. The Finance department plans to use a new service-oriented architecture (SOA) application. You need to configure the cluster to run the SOA job. You also need to ensure that the number of compute nodes is not reduced. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has 120 compute nodes. The cluster requires 10 additional compute nodes. You manually install Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition on 10 new servers and connect them to the cluster networks. You open HPC Management Console, start the Add Node Wizard, and select an option to add preconfigured compute nodes. You discover that the wizard is unable to list any of the new servers. You need to ensure that all the new servers are available for the wizard. What should you do before you restart the wizard?

You are a system administrator for your company. You are configuring a new Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. The cluster must have the following configuration: Two Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) broker nodes, 50 compute nodes The Windows Deployment Services role installed automatically on the head node You need to configure the nodes to meet the requirements of the cluster. Which configuration should you choose?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. You plan to use a node XML file to specify the nodes that you want to add to the HPC cluster. You also plan to use a node template named Template1 to deploy the images. You need to configure the node XML file to specify the nodes that will be installed from bare metal. What should you do?

You are a system administrator for your company. Your company plans to install a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has 11 compute nodes. You install the cluster head node and create a domain user account that will be used to deploy the cluster compute nodes. You need to ensure that the account has user rights to create Active Directory computer accounts for all compute nodes. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has 150 nodes. Some nodes are located in remote sites that do not have connectivity to port 3389 of the node. You need to develop a monitoring plan for events from all nodes including newly provisioned nodes. What should you do to view node events from all nodes?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has four compute nodes. Each compute node is configured on the following three networks: Network A 192.168.15.0/255.255.255.0 Network B 10.2.0.1/255.255.255.0 Network C 10.4.0.0/255.255.255.0 You need to ensure that Microsoft Message Passing Interface (MPI) uses Network C. Which command should you run on the head node?
