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

1. A system administrator needs to configure a redundant network environment for several AIX and Linux clients on a Power Systems server. Which highly available Virtual I/O server network solution should be used to meet this requirement?

A) Network Interface Backup
B) Shared Ethernet Adapter Failover
C) Link Aggregation
D) VLAN tagging

2. An administrator is preparing to upgrade the environment's dual Virtual I/O servers (VIOS) from V1.2 to V2.1
What must considered in preparation for this upgrade?

A) All client LPARs must be shutdown as both VIO servers have to be upgraded to V2.1 at the same time.
B) The VIOS must be upgraded to the latest fixpack of V1.5 before upgrading to V2.1.
C) The only upgrade method that will be supported is using NIM because the current VIOS is lower than V1.3.
D) VIOS V2.1 requires AIX clients to be running AIX V6.1 at a minimum.

3. An administrator is attempting to remove a virtual adapter from an AIX partition using an HMC running V7R7.2. The DLPAR operation is failing with the following message:
"Virtual adapters that are marked as required cannot be dynamically removed from the partition. Please change your adapter selections and try the operation again."
How can the administrator remove the virtual adapter while minimizing any downtime?

A) Remove the virtual adapter from the partition profile and reactivate the partition.
B) Select the 'Force' option when performing the DLPAR operation.
C) Modify the last activated partition profile so that the adapter is not required for partition activation and repeat the DLPAR operation.
D) Modify the active properties for the partition so that the adapter is not required for partition activation and repeat the DLPAR operation.

4. An administrator is configuring a new virtual Fibre Channel connection that will use NPIV to connect a client LPAR to a SAN.
The administrator has created a client adapter in virtual slot 8 and a server adapter in virtual slot 600. The appropriate virtual adapter definitions have been successfully added into the client and VIO server profiles and a DLPAR operation to add the virtual adapters into both partitions.
The administrator runs cfgmgr on the client partition but receives an error. The administrator then checks the definition of the client adapter in AIX Based on this information, what is the most likely cause of the error?

A) The virtual Fibre Channel server adapters are not supported with virtual slot numbers higher than 512.
B) The virtual server adapter has been incorrectly mapped to virtual slot 3 for the client.
C) The virtual server adapter has not been mapped to a physical Fibre Channel adapter.
D) The virtual Fibre Channel device driver has not been installed on the client.

5. After installing a new VIO server partition an administrator noticed that the time zone is incorrectly set to CST6DST. The administrator would like the time zone set to Europe/London. Which command will achieve this?

A) chtime -tz Europe/London
B) chzone -zone Europe/London
C) chdate -timezone Europe/London
D) chsys -timezone Europe/London
