A customer wants to save on IBM i licensing costs:

They have three configurable processors and one IBM i license.

LPAR1 is running IBM i with .5 CPU

LPAR2 is running IBM i with .5 CPU

LPAR3 is running AIX with 1 CPU

All of the LPARs are uncapped.

They want to limit the IBM i LPARs to using one core.

How can the customer enforce the limit and save on their IBM i licensing costs?

A. Put the IBM i LPARs in a shared processor pool with one core.

B. Put the AIX LPAR in a shared processor pool with one core.

C. Set the entitlement of each IBM i LPAR to "one"

D. Change the AIX partition to have .5 CPU entitlement.

A customer running AIX wants to run DB2 on a new S824 server with uncapped partitions. The customer has licensed DB2 for 15 of the 24 active cores and will use it in multiple partitions.

How can the customer ensure that DB2 does not exceed the number of licenses purchased?

A. Create 15 shared processor pools for the DB2 partitions.

B. Limit the number of virtual processors on each DB2 partition to 15.

C. Use partitions that cannot use more processor capacity than its assigned processing capacity for the DB2 partitions.

D. Use a 15-core shared processor pool for the DB2 partitions.

A customer consolidated several environments running IBM i, Linux and AIX into an S824. Now the system's installed memory is insufficient. The customer believes that the Active Memory Expansion feature may resolve the memory issue.

Which of the following operating systems is capable of using the compression and decompression technology to resolve the issue?

A. AIX

B. IBM i

C. Red Hat

D. SUSE

Which Power Systems tool uses published benchmark data to create a simple cost comparison between Scale-out and x86 servers?

A. Quick Reference Tool

B. Workload Estimator Tool

C. TCA-TCO Seller Tool

D. Server Consolidation Tool

There are 20 partitions on the customer's Power8 system , want to allocate additional storage from non-IBM SAN to each partition. License fees for all partitions drivers and multi-path software beyond the current budget.

B. SAS

C. SSD

D. vSCSI

Dynamic partition migration , the following is required ?

A. PowerVM Enterprise Edition SAN disk system Virtual Ethernet

B. dedicated processor PowerVM Enterprise Edition Virtual Ethernet

C. dual VIO server PowerVM Enterprise Edition SAN attached disk Two virtual processors

D. dedicated processor Dual VIO server SAN disk system Virtual Ethernet

Easy Tier feature on what support S822?

A. (8) drives and a split backplane

B. (12) drives and a split backplane

C. (12) drive , do not split backplane

D. (8) SAS drives and an auxiliary controller

A customer has 20 partitions on a POWER8 system and would like to allocate additional storage from their non-IBM SAN to each of the partitions. The cost of the licenses for the drivers and multipath software for all the partitions is higher than the current budget limits.

Which one of the following technologies will satisfy their requirement within their budget?

A. SAS

B. SSD

C. NPIV

D. vSCSI

A customer would like build a two node active-active cluster of two 4-core AIX LPARs. The two nodes of the cluster are connected to an IBM SAN separated by 75 miles (120 Kilometers) and an SVC at each location.

What is the total number of licenses that are required for this configuration?

A. PowerHA Standard Edition - (8) licenses

B. PowerHA Enterprise Edition - (4) licenses

C. PowerHA Enterprise Edition - (8) licenses

D. PowerHA Standard Edition - (4) licenses

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.
