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

1. An administrator would like to perform a Live Partition Mobility (LPM) operation between two systems. The source system has been configured with a single VIO Server (VIOS) partition and the destination system has been configured with dual VIO server partitions. What must be considered when planning for LPM?

A) An LPAR must be configured on the target system before the LPM operation is invoked.
B) Access to all the disk data must be completely provided by at least one of the destination VIO Server partitions.
C) Device-level virtualization provided by the single VIOS of the source system must be matched by both of the dual VIOS on the target system.
D) A second VIO Server partition must be configured on the source system to allow for LPM.

2. An administrator has configured a system to provide resilient networking through the use of SEA failover. The administrator wants to know if the SEA for one VIO server, ent10, is the active adapter.
Which of the following commands could the administrator use to determine the status of ent10?

A) netstat -cdlistats ent10
B) seastat-liststatent10
C) Ismap-net-devent10
D) entstat-netent10

3. When planning a deployment what should be noted about the Virtual Media Repository when compared to other storage visualization offered by a VIO Server?

A) The repository is vulnerable to VIO Server outage.
B) Items within the repository must be virtualized through an NPIV adapter.
C) Only AIX and Linux LPARs can be clients of the repository.
D) DVD media must be virtualized through the repository in read-only mode.

4. An administrator is designing a new system. Redundancy is critical, and cost must be kept as low as possible.
The system planned is a Power 770 with 2 enclosures, each with a 10Gb IVE. It will support 6 dedicated production LPARs, 8 development LPARs, and 2 VIO Servers.
Production and development networks must be separate from each other.
Which of the following network solutions supports the requirements above?

A) Use dedicated Ethernet cards in each Production LPAR using Ether channel Allocate two dedicated Ethernet cards to the VIO Servers Create a SEA and use for development LPARs
B) Run dedicated adapters in the VIO Servers Configure a Shared Ethernet Adapter for production and another for development Allocate virtual network devices to LPARs.
C) Utilize the Integrated Virtual Ethernet adapter in each enclosure Allocate 1 logical port from each IVE in each enclosure to each LPAR and VIO Server Configure 802.1Q on each LPAR
D) Allocate Integrated Virtual Ethernet adapters ports to the VIO Servers Configure a Shared Ethernet Adapter for production and another for development Allocate virtual network devices to LPARs

5. A virtual adapter with IEEE 802.1Q enabled for multiple VLANs has been created on a new VIO Server. This has been turned into a Shared Ethernet Adapter (SEA) but the SEA is not passing the tagged traffic to the outside world. Which of the following actions, when taken on the VIO Server, will fix the issue?

A) mkvdev -vlan ent[Ethernet device] -tagid [VLAN ID] for each PVID.
B) Set the trunk priority is to 1.
C) chvdev -sea en[Ethernet interface] -vlanid [VLAN ID].
D) Re-create the SEA with -vlan [VLAN ID] option.
