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

Question #1
A single port on a physical Ethernet adapter (ent0) has failed on a VIO Server. The network devices are as follows:

When using the diagmenu command to deconfigure the physical adapter, an error occurs saying the adapter is in use.
What is the correct sequence to deconfigure the physical adapter?

A. Deconfigure ent3 first, then deconfigure ent0, ent1, ent2.
B. Deconfigure ent3 first, then deconfigure ent0, ent1
C. Deconfigure ent3 first, then deconfigure ent0, ent2.
D. Deconfigure ent3 first, then deconfigure only ent0

Question #2
A production application is hosted across two Power 750 Express servers, managed by an HMC. Each machine has 16 cores and 32GB RAM. Four 8GB LPARs are defined across the two systems and only 3 LPARs are active at once. Live Partition Mobility is used to maintain availability when maintenance is required.
A test environment is being built across two Power 550 Express servers.
Each machine has 8 cores and 16GB RAM. Four 4GB LPARs will be defined across the two systems, again only 3 will be active at once. To isolate the test and production environment, the test environment is managed by two IVMs.
Two LPARs have been created on each test server. The administrator initiates a Live Partition Mobility operation to test moving LPARs between the servers.
The migrlpar command fails to migrate the 4th LPAR with the following error:
"The target managed system does not have enough available memory to create the partition."
Because the 4th LPAR was inactive, it was expected that an inactive migration would be successful.
Why would this inactive migration fail on the test environment, but succeed on the production environment?

A. Active Memory Sharing (AMS) or Active Memory Expansion (AME) is required for RAM over commitment.
B. The target managed system already has the maximum number of partitions.
C. IVM-managed systems reserve RAM allocations, even for inactive LPARs.
D. IVM-managed systems do not support inactive migrations.

Question #3
A VIO client is using a virtual network adapter to supply network connectivity to VLAN 10 from VIOL The VIO client now needs to access VLAN 20 which is supplied from VI02.
How can this be achieved?

A. On VIOL use the mkvdev command to add VLAN 20 to the SEA.
Add an alias to the VIO client Ethernet interface with an IP address of the VLAN 20 subnet.
B. Create a new virtual Ethernet adapter to access the external network on VIOL1.
Add an additional virtual network adapter to the VIO client using DLPAR.
Modify the profile to reflect these changes.
C. Change the VIO client profile to reflect the additional virtual network adapter.
Use DLPAR to add a virtual network adapter onto the VIO client with VLAN 20.
D. Change the VI01 profile to reflect the changed virtual network adapter.
Use DLPAR to change the VI01 virtual network adapter to use VLAN 20.

Question #4
An administrator has created a virtual media repository to hold images for a file backed virtual optical device. The administrator would now like to load an ISO image, aix7.iso into the repository.
Which of the following commands will achieve this?

A. mkrep -vopt aix7 -file aix7.iso -fb
B. mkvopt -name aix7 -file aix7.iso -ro
C. loadopt -vtd aix7 -disk aix7.iso
D. loadsp -sp aix7 -fb aix7.iso

Question #5
When creating a new LPAR, what should be considered when setting the maximum value for memory?

A. On a given system, by default the Hypervisor reserves 2.5GB of the system memory, regardless of the maximum memory allocation for an LPAR.
B. The Hypervisor will reserve a fraction of the maximum memory value for page tables.
C. The maximum memory value should be a multiple of the desired memory and the Logical Memory Block (LMB) to ensure minimal Hypervisor memory overhead.
D. Where the maximum value exceeds 32GB, the Barrier Synchronization Register value needs to be set appropriately in the LPAR profile.
