Microsoft-TS Windows HPC Server 2008, Configuring and Managing

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. You plan to configure a new node template to deploy the evaluation edition of Windows Server 2008 HPC Edition. You need to ensure that the deployment of nodes that use the template is successful. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has 150 nodes. Users report that cluster jobs take longer than normal to complete. You need to calculate the network latency between the nodes. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. You have recently deployed 10 new nodes to the cluster. Users report that only seven of the new nodes function as part of the cluster. You discover that three new nodes are in the Unknown state. You need to find out the problem that has prevented the three nodes from joining the cluster. What should you do?

You are a system administrator for your company. Your company deploys a new Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. The company requires a record of performance information over time. The record must include link latency and throughput statistics. You need to periodically execute a command that collects the required information. Which command should you run?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. You plan to deploy new nodes to the cluster by using an existing node template. A folder and its files are stored on the head node. You need to ensure that the folder and its files are copied to each node by using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. Which task should you add to the node template?

You are deploying a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. The cluster head node is configured with a network topology that has compute nodes isolated on a private network. You want to add new servers as compute nodes to the cluster. You open the HPC Management Console, start the Add Node Wizard, and select an option to add compute nodes from an operating system image. You start the new servers and discover that the wizard is unable to display any of the new servers on the Select New Nodes page. You need to ensure that the new servers are displayed on the Select New Nodes page of the wizard. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. You plan to add new nodes to the cluster by using bare metal provisioning capabilities. You need to ensure the new nodes adhere to your company naming standards. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. You have recently deployed five new nodes to the cluster. You discover that after deployment, the Heat Map view for all nodes appears shaded and no metrics is reported. You need to ensure that the Heat Map view works correctly. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that uses an InfiniBand switch for the application network. The cluster requires five additional compute nodes. The WinOF InfiniBand software is installed on all compute nodes and servers. You install Windows Server 2008 HPC Edition on the five new servers and connect them to the cluster networks. You need to verify whether the OpenIB Network Direct provider is installed on the new compute nodes before you join them to the cluster. Which command should you run on each node?

You are a system administrator for your company. Your company has recently deployed a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that uses InfiniBand switched-fabric communications. You plan to customize a node template. You need to ensure that when the customized node template is used to deploy a new HPC node, the InfiniBand network device drivers are installed. What should you do?
