IBM Assessment: Virtualization Technical Support for IBM i -v1 Sample Questions:

1. An administrator is configuring two client IBM i partitions running 7.1 with TR4. Both client partitions are hosted by an IBM i partition running 7.1 with TR4. The managed system is a 4-core Power 720, managed by an HMC. The host partition owns all of the disk in the CEO, the internal LTO-4 tape drive, and the DVD.
How can the administrator share the internal tape drive between the host partition and both client partitions?

A) Ensure that the 720 has the split backplane, with the disks controlled by the internal RAID
adapter, and the tape andDVD controlled by a second adapter.
Set the second adapterto be desired by all three partitions.
Vary off the tape drive on the host partition.
Using the HMC, move the adapter from the host partition to either client partition.
Vary on the tape drive on the client partition.
B) Vary off the tape drive on the host partition.
Vary on the tape drive on the client partition.
C) Set the internal adapter to be desired by all three partitions.
Vary off the tape drive on the host partition.
Using the HMO, move the adapter from the host partition to either client partition.
Vary on the tape drive on the client partition.
D) Vary off the tape drive on the host partition.
Using the HMO move the adapter from the host partition to either client partition.
Vary on the tape drive on the client partition.

2. A customer needs to replace a failed tape controller card on a running partition. The service action Serviceability-> Hardware -> Exchange ERU has been started. The card has been selected and the service action has been launched.
The message "The requested service action cannot currently be completed from this management console" is displayed.
What is the most likely reason for this error?

A) The adapter has not been deallocated from the partition.
B) The service domain for the partition is still active.
C) The partition is controlled by another HMC in the environment.
D) The tape device associated with the adapter is notvaried off.

3. A Power 720 system has a VIO Server (VIOS) partition configured completely in the CEO. The VIOS partition hosts IBM i client partitions which require access to the DVD drive in the CEO. How is this accomplished?

A) Use DLPAR to move the DVD drive between partitions as needed.
B) Create a shared vSOSI link from VIOS to each IBM i client partition and mapthe DVD drive to each partition.
C) Create an image catalog in the IBM i client partition and map itto the DVD drive.
D) Use VIOS to map the DVD drive to the IBM i client partition.

4. A customer has a 4-partition Power 720 running firmware level 01_AL730_069. They want to load and activate the latest firmware, 01_AL730_085_060, onto their managed system during normal operations.
What is the correct way to do this?

A) On the Service partition, load and apply immediate the corresponding MH PTF for 01_AL730_085.
B) On the Service partition, load the corresponding MH PTF for 01_AL730.
Start Service tools
Go to Advance Functions
Select Concurrent Firmware Update by entering "1"to run.
C) From the HMC, select Update from the left panel Select the managed system Then Change License Code for current release
D) From the HMC, select Update from the left panel Select the managed system Then select Concurrent Firmware update

5. A customer has a Power Systems server which has its FSP directly connected to the HMC on port HMC1. They want to be able to access the ASMI via their desks rather than through the HMC interface. What method will allow this to occur?

A) Manually configure an accessible static IP address to the ESP's second Ethernet port, HMC2, attach the port to the network, and use the new address from the workstations.
B) Re-run the "Add Managed System" wizard to configure both internal and external access.
C) Configure ASMI pass through on the HMC using a non-standard port. Create a shortcut to the HMC's IP address using that port.
D) Attach a serial-to-Ethernet converter to the appropriate port on the rear of the CE Connect and configure the Ethernet cable on the HM
