IBM C9010-251 Online Questions & Answers

  • Question 1:

    Which technology provides dedicated virtual resources for virtual machines, improved quality of service and offloads I/O virtualization? IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization)

    A. SR-(Single Root I/O Virtualization)
    B. PowerVM
    C. FCoE (Fiber Channel over Ethernet)
    D. CAN (Converged Network Adapter)

  • Question 2:

    A customer recently installed a new 6-core S824 with the (18) SFF-3 bay storage backplane fully populated with HDDs. They want to include (4) SSDs to improve hot data performance. The customer wants to avoid the cost of adding an EXP24S I/O drawer to place the SSDs.

    Which of the following will satisfy the customer's requirement to improve the hot data performance?

    A. A PCIe RAID and SSD SAS adapter
    B. A USB-attached SSD cage
    C. An SSD SAS bay PCIe riser
    D. An 8-bay 1.8-inch SSD cage in the backplane

  • Question 3:

    A customer has multiple partitions running their applications. Each partition has heavy memory requirements at different times of the day due to differences in the time zones of the users. Which memory technique can be best utilized in order to dynamically share memory among the LPARs?

    A. Active Memory Sharing
    B. Active Memory Expansion
    C. Virtual Memory Boost
    D. Virtual Memory Pool

  • Question 4:

    A customer has a SAN team that wants to be able to easily map each LUN to a specific WWPN on each client LPAR of a POWER8 server. Which technology should be implemented to satisfy the requirement?

    A. NPIV
    B. vSCSI
    C. iSCSI
    D. SAS

  • Question 5:

    Shared Storage Pools (SSPs) are built on Cluster Aware AIX (CAA). What high-value function does this provide?

    A. Automatic fall-over of LPARs between Power systems servers.
    B. Synchronization of hdisk names in VIO Server across the cluster.
    C. Thin provisioning of storage for client LPARs.
    D. Zero-configuration implementation of NPIV storage.

  • Question 6:

    A customer is ordering a 4-core S814 with the following partitions:

    An IBM i partition capped at 1.0 processors

    A second IBM i partition capped at 0.5 processors, running a Web Sphere application.

    An AIX partition capped at 0.5 processors.

    A Linux partition capped at 0.5 processors.

    How many Web Sphere licenses are required to support this configuration?

    A. 4.0
    B. 1.0
    C. 3.0
    D. 2.0

  • Question 7:

    A customer has a Power 740 with 16 cores and 64GB RAM, running an Oracle database. The server is attached to an EXP24S with 20 disks 300GB 10K RPM and has been experiencing performance issues.

    After an analysis there were some findings:

    Average CPU usage for the database is 30%

    Average Memory usage is 60%

    High I/O waits are being experienced, around 50% of total CPU

    An Oracle sales representative ran a POC of an Exadata X4-2 Half Rack to help with the performance issues.

    The performance on Exadata was better than the existing solution, so the customer called IBM, considering a migration to a new Oracle solution. Which response is appropriate to defend the IBM solution?

    A. Exadata X4-2 Half Rack has four servers with two sockets each. It should be compared with the performance of a POWER 770 which can also scale up to eight sockets. IBM can propose an upgrade scenario to even move partitions without downtime with LPM.
    B. Exadata is a solution comprised of servers, disk storage, flash storage, networking and software. Your server is apparently fine, but there might be a problem with storage. IBM can propose a faster storage solution, allowing you to keep the server and optimize your costs.
    C. Exadata might have run the Oracle database faster due to the fact that it is powered by Oracle SPARC T5 processors which were designed for Oracle software. On the other hand, other workloads will definitely run slower, so you should stick to the existing solution for a balanced performance across your environment.
    D. Exadata is comprised of a cluster of servers connected by Infiniband. You are comparing this to a single server. IBM can propose a second server with an Infiniband network to address this issue.

  • Question 8:

    A customer will purchase an SB24 server to replace a Power 520 with IBM I V5R4. Middleware integration and securing business critical data is important to the customer. What will allow the customer to support all of the requirements?

    A. Trusted Firewall and Trusted Surveyor
    B. DB2 Row and Column Access Control
    C. PowerSC
    D. Tivoli Directory Server

  • Question 9:

    A company wants to consolidate six existing AIX workloads onto a single POWER8 server with six LPARs. Which server option will satisfy the requirement?

    A. S824 with PowerKVM
    B. S822L with PowerVM
    C. S822 with PowerVM Express
    D. S822 with an HMC

  • Question 10:

    A customer would like to have a mix of SSD and HDD on their S824 using the Expanded Function (18 disk) backplane (EJOP) and does not want to use Easy Tier functionality. How can this be accomplished?

    A. Configure the SSDs and HDDs in separate arrays.
    B. Install the SSDs in the EJTM 8-Bay 1.8" SSD Cage.
    C. Configure all drives using RAID 5T2.
    D. Split the backplane and put the SSDs on one side of the backplane, and the HDDs on the other.
