A customer will be consolidating a number of IBM i and AIX partitions from several older servers onto an existing S824 These partitions are parts of various operating groups within the customer and require connectivity to various private networks and network redundancy. The server utilizes SAN Storage and dual VIO Server partitions.
Which solution satisfies the customer's requirements?
A. Add two additional VIO Server partitions each with a quad port Ethernet card. Create an SEA in VIO Server to each port of the Ethernet card. Configure virtual Ethernet connections to the VIO Server partitions for each SEA with one flagged priority
B. Utilize two of the IBM i Partitions to bridge to the outside Attach a quad port Ethernet IOA to each partition and bridge the ports lo internal VLANs needed by the guest partitions.
C. Add two SR-IOV capable Ethernet adapters. Allocate each of them to the partitions and create the connections to the correct VLANs as needed.
D. In the existing VIO Server partitions, add a quad port Ethernet card. Create an SEA in VIOS to each port of the Ethernet card. Configure virtual Ethernet connections to the VIO Server partitions for each SEA with one flagged priority.
A client is considering hardware platforms for their Hadoop implementation.
Which of the following is an advantage of a Power Systems solution over an x86 solution for then implementation?
A. Support for two copies of data
B. Support for the Hadoop File Placement Optimizer
C. Support for IBM Elastic Storage
D. Built-in High Speed Cluster Interconnect
A customer currently is running a POWER7 6-core 720 with 3 IBM i cores for production, and utilizing Power HA to a POWER6 2-core server as their backup machine.
The production machine also has unlimited users, IBM i Access users, SOL, and ILE Compilers. They are only using the backup machine to do backups, but it is not a CBU; it has only one IBM i and one licensed Power HA core.
The customer wants the backup server to have the same capacity as the production server so it can be a true high availability server.
Which of the following is the correct course of action at the least cost?
A. Upgrade the POWER6 to a POWER7. Add two additional IBM i and Power HA Licenses, IBM i and IBM i Access users SQL and ILE Compilers
B. Upgrade both servers to P0WER8 and transfer all the software to the new POWERS servers.
C. Purchase a new POWER8 to replace the POWER6 server and transfer the software from the POWER6 Designate the POWER8 as a CBU to the POWER7.
D. Purchase two new POWER8 servers designating one of them as a CBU. Transfer all the software from the POWER7 to one of the POWER8 servers and all the IBM i and Power HA software from the POWER6 to the other POWER8 server.
A company wants to integrate six existing AIX workloads onto a single logical partition six Power8 single server .
Which server options to meet the requirements?
A. S822 is equipped with an HMC
B. S822L with PowerVM
C. S824 with PowerKVM
D. S822 is equipped with PowerVM Express Edition
The shared storage pool (SSP) was established in Cluster Aware AIX (CAA) Which of the following can provide the kind of high-value features ?
A. client logical partition memory thin provisioning (Thin provisioning).
B. Zero configuration operations to implement NPIV storage.
C. throughout the cluster VIO server synchronization hard name.
D. Logical partitions automatic failover between Power Systems servers.
Customers want to have a mix of the S824 SSD and HDD, using the extended functions ( 18 disks ) backplane (EJOP), and do not want to use the Easy Tier feature.
How to achieve ?
A. Use RAID 5T2 configure all drives.
B. on SSD and HDD ARRAY different configurations.
C. The SSD installed in EJTM 8-Bay 1.8 SSD cage.
D. Use backplane isolation, and put on the back side of the SSD , HDD on the other side.
What standard feature was added to the 4-core S814 to improve the RAS capability when compared to a 4-core 720?
A. Chipkill Memory
B. RAID 0
C. PCIe Hot Plug Support
D. Alternate Processor Recovery
A customer will be purchasing a POWER8 Scale-out server, and will be launching a heavy database application.
Which operating system is unified with a database?
A. AIX
B. IBM i
C. Windows
D. Linux
A customer would like to have a mix of SSD and HDD on their S824 using the Expanded Function (18 disk) backplane (EJOP) and does not want to use Easy Tier functionality.
How can this be accomplished?
A. Configure the SSDs and HDDs in separate arrays.
B. Install the SSDs in the EJTM 8-Bay 1.8" SSD Cage.
C. Configure all drives using RAID 5T2.
D. Split the backplane and put the SSDs on one side of the backplane, and the HDDs on the other.
A customer recently installed a new 6-core S824 with the (18) SFF-3 bay storage backplane fully populated with HDDs. They want to include (4) SSDs to improve hot data performance. The customer wants to avoid the cost of adding an EXP24S I/O drawer to place the SSDs.
Which of the following will satisfy the customer's requirement to improve the hot data performance?
A. A PCIe RAID and SSD SAS adapter
B. A USB-attached SSD cage
C. An SSD SAS bay PCIe riser
D. An 8-bay 1.8-inch SSD cage in the backplane
