IBM Associate AIX 7 Administration Sample Questions:

1. An existing client LPAR has been manually moved from one physical machine to another. The administrator updated the SAN zoning to deallocate from the source VIO Server and allocate to the destination VIO Server. The LPAR and its profile were recreated on the HMC and the single disk is mapped from the VIO Server to the LPAR.
What manual intervention is required after activating the LPAR?

A) Correct the system clock.
B) Correct the terminal type.
C) Import non-root volume groups
D) Select a boot device.

2. A host has a single virtual Ethernet adapter (ent0) configured with only a default PVID, and the administrator is trying to determine why it cannot be used to reach any other system on the network. He suspects that it may be caused by a problem in the VLAN configuration.
How would the administrator determine the VLAN for which the adapter was configured?

A) Examine the Shared Ethernet Adapter on the Virtual I/O Server to determine which VLAN the adapter is using.
B) Use the command 'Isdev -I ent0' on the host to determine the port VLAN ID.
C) Use the command 'Isattr-EI ent0' on the host to determine the port VLAN ID.
D) Look on the HMC to determine which VLAN is configured for the adapter.

3. In the following graphic, the administrator created an additional paging space using smit mkps. The paging space is not active. What is necessary to start using the new paging space?

A) Reboot the server to activate the new paging space.
B) Use swapon to activate the new paging space.
C) Vary on the pgvg volume group prior to creating the new paging space.
D) Use chps with the -a y flag to activate the new paging space for immediate use.

4. An administrator needs to replace a failing hard disk, hdisk0, in a mirrored rootvg. After removing the mirror from hdisk0, the administrator cannot remove hdisk0 from the rootvg due to one logical volume still remaining on the failing hard disk, as described below.
How can this issue be resolved?

A) mirrorvg -l lg_dumplv hdisk0 hdisk1
B) migratepv hdisk0 hdisk1
C) migrateiv lg_dumplv hdisk1
D) mkivcopy lg_dumplv hdisk1

5. Two different administrators are asked to change the hostname of a system due to a misunderstanding The current hostname is set to misunderstanding. The current hostname is set to 'ozi'. The first administrator thinks the hostname should be set to 'kiwi' and he runs the command:
# hostname kiwi
He checks his work by running the hostname command again and he sees this output
# hostname kiwi
The second administrator thinks the hostname should be 'texan' and he runs the command:
# uname -S texan
He checks his work by running uname -n and sees the output
# uname -n texan
What will be the output of the hostname and uname -n command when the system reboots?

A) The output of both commands will be 'texan' after reboot.
B) The output of both commands will be 'ozi' after reboot.
C) The output of both commands will be 'kiwi' after reboot.
D) The output of the hostname command will be 'kiwi' and the output of the uname -n command will be texan".
