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

1. A customer has multiple POWERS 570 servers. The servers are controlled by multiple HMCs. The customer is installing an additional Power 770 server in this environment but will retain their existing HMCs. No updates to FSP or HMC levels have been made since installation of the POWERS servers.
After reviewing the cover letters for ESP and HMC firmware levels, what updates are required to support the addition of the new server into the network?

A) Update the FSP5 and HMC5 of the existing systems to the minimum level required.
B) Update only the FSPs to the latest release available.
C) Update the POWERS ESPs to the most recent version available for the installed firmware release. Update the HMCs to the most recent release available.
D) Update only the HMCs to the latest version.

2. 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) Vary off the tape drive on the host partition.
Vary on the tape drive on the client partition.
B) 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.
C) 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.
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.

3. Auditors have reviewed access to the HMC and determined that many users have too much authority on the HMC. What is the correct method to restrict users to only a specific set of resources?

A) In Manage Users and Tasks, select each resource that is required for this user.
B) Create and assign a new resource role that allows access to only the required resources.
C) Create and assign a new task role that allows only the required set of tasks.
D) Change the users' task role to hmcoperator.

4. A customer has several client IBM i partitions hosted by a single VIO Server. The system has one Shared Ethernet Adapter. The administrator has noticed that network performance is significantly degrading as traffic increases. The system workload has not changed.
Which statement describes a possible cause of this problem?

A) Virtual Ethernet is being used instead of physical adapters.
B) There are insufficient vLANs configured to support the network traffic.
C) Simultaneous Multi-Threading is enabled but single-threaded workloads are running.
D) TheVIOServer is also hosting vSCSl, and the threading option is disabled on the Shared Ethernet Adapter

5. A processor upgrade to a new 4-core Power 720 is planned, with processors capped and shared processor pools enabled, using the following configuration:
IBM i: Minimum - 1 .0; Desired - 2.5; Maximum - 2.5
Linux: Minimum - 0.5; Desired - 1.0; Maximum - 1.0
AIX: Minimum - 0.5; Desired - 0.5; Maximum - 1 .0
How many processor entitlements for IBM i are required on the new system?

A) 1
B) 3
C) 2
D) 4
