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

1. A customer has a single-partition Power 720 running IBM i. They would like to install some additional adapters and implement 5 additional partitions. In addition to installing the adapters and configuring an HMC, what else is necessary?

A) Configure the new partitions.
Activate the new profiles to remove "required" features of the existing partition.
B) Modify the profile of the existing partition and concurrently enable it.
Resume the existing partition.
Create partitions and profiles for the additional LPARs.
C) Modify the existing partition profile to not "use all resources in system" and own only what it
needs. Reactivate the profile.
Create partitions and profiles for the additional partitions.
D) Create a new partition and profile for the original LPAR with only the resources the partition
needs. Create partitions and profiles forth additional partitions.
Delete the original partition.
Suspend the existing partition.

2. An optical drive is owned by a VIO Server and shared between multiple IBM i partitions as virtual optical devices.
An administrator wants to use the virtual optical device on an IBM i partition, but WRKHDWRSC *STG shows that the virtual IOP is "Inoperative."
After verifying that the device is correctly allocated to the partition, what action should be taken?

A) Vary off the device on the partition which is currently using the optical drive.
B) On the HMC, modify the host partition profile so that the vSCSI adapter is configured for "Any client partition can connect".
C) On the HMC, select the vSCSI adapter and, under the Advanced option, select the option to Recover the Adapter.
D) In SST, IPL the virtual IOP and vary on the device

3. An administrator is setting up IBM i in Partition 2 of a POWER Blade, in blade slot 9 of a BladeCenter H.
What is used to access the IBM i console during the initial setup of a client IBM i partition?

A) Define a virtual LAN connection in VIO Server from IBM I to an external LAN. Use IBM i LAN console to provide the TCP/IP configuration for the console.
B) Telnet to the VIO Server using port 2302.
C) Use the BladeCenter Advanced Management Module (AMM) Serial over LAN (SoL) connection to the VIO Server console.
D) Sign on to the BladeCenter Advanced Management Module (AMM). Run the AMM command: env -T system: blade[9]:partition[2]>console

4. One partition on a multi-LPAR Power 720 has recently posted an error message about the upcoming expiration of a cache battery.
How can all the other controllers on the partitions be checked to determine if they should have the same type of maintenance performed?

A) On a workstation: IBM i Access for Windows, Management Central
B) On each partition: System Service Tools, Hardware Service Manager
C) On the HMC: Service Management, Manage Serviceable Events
D) On the ASMI: System Service Aids, Battery Management

5. A POWER7 system has 6 IBM i partitions sharing a single shared processor pool. The system has 3 IBM i operating system licenses. Without exceeding the licenses available, what is the largest allowable value for the "Maximum processing units" setting in the shared processor pool?

A) 1
