IBM Virtualization Technical Support for AIX and Linux - v2 Sample Questions:

1. An architect requires Active Memory Sharing (AMS) to be implemented for a new AIX environment. Which of the following are minimum requirements in order to implement AMS?

A) PowerVM Standard Edition, HMC version 7.3.5, VIO Server version 2.1 FP21
B) PowerVM Enterprise Edition, AIX 6.1 TL4, redundant storage
C) PowerVM Enterprise Edition. POWER6 Hardware, AIX 6.1 TL3
D) PowerVM Standard Edition, POWER7 Hardware, HMC version 7.7.1

2. An administrator is creating a WPAR with isolated file system spaces. Before creating the WPAR, what should the administrator do?

A) Add the /wparfilesystem to the global environment
B) Add the IP address of the new WPAR to the /etc/hosts file in the global environment
C) Ensure the bos.wpars fileset is installed on the system.
D) Ensure the target disk for the WPAR is not in use.

3. An administrator is interested in installing PowerVM Lx86 software on a new Power 770 for a proof of concept. Which of the following statements about PowerVM Lx86 is true?

A) PowerVM Lx86 allows for many x86 Linux applications to run on supported versions of Linux on Power.
B) PowerVM Lx86 allows for x86 Linux applications to run under AIX 6.1 or 7.1 Enterprise Edition.
C) PowerVM Lx86 supports only 64 bit applications that run in x86 real mode.
D) PowerVM Lx86 can be implemented on VIO server 2.1 FP21 and higher.

4. An administrator tries to dynamically increase the processor capacity entitlement of LPAR1 from 1.0 to 2.0. The current entitlement is 1.0 and the maximum is set to 3.0.
The operation fails. When the administrator adds up the number of processors in use by the currently running LPARs, there are 4 processors available. The administrator also notes that LPAR2 is inactive.
What is the cause of this failure?

A) LPAR2 has "Allow when partition inactive" in the Processor Sharing section CHECKED in its profile
B) LPAR2 has "Allow when partition inactive" in the Processor Sharing section NOT CHECKED in its profile
C) LPAR1 has "Allow when partition active" in the Processor Sharing section CHECKED in its profile
D) LPAR1 has "Allow when partition active" in the Processor Sharing section NOT CHECKED in its profile

5. A Power Systems server is configured with a VIO server and several client LPARs. The administrator wants to use the padmin user to create a script, which will run on the VIO server to back it up to a remote system. Script output must be collected. How can this be achieved?

A) Create a backup script in /usr/ios/cli
Run "crontab -e root" to configure root to run it and redirect the output
B) Create a backup script in /home/padmin
Run the script redirecting stdout and stderr to a log file
C) Create a backup script in /usr/ios/cli
Use the "script" command in the shell program, to collect the output.
D) Create a backup script in /home/padmin
Use ssh from a remote system to run the script and capture the output on the remote
system.
