Which of the following is a requirement for both HMCs to be able to manage all the systems?

Question14: A customer with an AIX in-house SMT2 application on POWER6 would like to upgrade to POWER9. The customer would like to know the relative performance of the servers.
Which resource provides the SMT2 performance of the two systems?

Question15: A customer has a significant investment in open source software for performing in-memory analytics. This workload is currently deployed on Linux and recent x86 hardware.
What advantage would a POWER9 processor-based server provide this customer?

Question16: While migrating from a Power System E880 to a Power System E980, which of the following is automatically provided on both systems?

Question17: An installation engineer has configured a new POWER9 processor-based server with two VIOS partitions.
The client is questioning the use of resources for two VIOS partitions instead of one.
What benefit does the dual VIOS configuration provide?

Question18: What is the minimum amount of rack space that an 80 core Power System E980, without any I/O drawers, will take up in a 19 inch rack?

Question19: A customer wants to provision all storage for a particular workload, which will run on 12 individual LPARs in a Power System E980. Their Chief Information Officer is concerned that allocating all the storage to each LPAR individually will lead to lack of storage flexibility in the long term.
How can shared storage pools benefit this customer?

Question20: An IBM i customer has a POWER9 processor-based server set up with a single virtual machine with an HMC. They need to test a new version of the existing application for two weeks, separate from the production environment. Disk capacity is currently 40%. CPU requirements are minimal.
Which is the least cost and effort option?

Question21: A client has a Power System E950 running a critical AIX-based trading application that needs continuous availability during their busy season. They are planning to purchase a second Power System E950.
Which of the following offerings will provide a solution that will minimize unplanned downtime?

Question22: Which of the following statements is true regarding Dynamic Logical Partitioning (DLPAR)?

Question23: A customer requires that each client partition have access to two different VLANs. VLAN tagging will NOT be used in the environment.
There will be four client partitions, each of which will be connected to VLAN1 and VLAN2.

There will be two VIOS.

Redundant Ethernet connections will be accomplished using the Shared Ethernet Adapter (SEA) and

dual VIOS.
What is the minimum number of Ethernet ports that will be required in each VIOS?

Question24: A customer with critical up-time requirements is comparing POWER9 processor-based servers.
Which RAS feature is found only on the Power System E980?

Question25: An AIX customer is purchasing two new POWER9 processor-based servers: each connected to its own DS8880 at different sites. The customer wants high availability with the least amount of downtime.
Which solution will satisfy the customer's requirements?

Question26: A customer has two POWER8 processor-based servers with eight partitions on each system. They are upgrading to two POWER9 processor-based servers and want to improve their application uptime during the upgrade/migration to the new servers.
What feature should they implement?

Question27: Which of the following is an advantage of Power System Servers over Oracle Exadata solutions?

Question28: A customer wants to virtualize their storage environment and would like to use NPIV.
Where will the storage mulltipathing software run?

Question29: Which of the following is true for systems virtualized with PowerVM?

Question30: Where should adapter configurations be validated before adding or rearranging adapters on a Power Enterprise Server?

Question31: An IBM Power System E980 customer is allocating six processor cores to a shared processor pool where they intend to create four partitions as defined below:
An IBM i partition with 1.75 processing units and 2 virtual processors - uncapped

An IBM i partition with .60 processing units and 1 virtual processors - uncapped

An IBM i partition with .40 processing units and 1 virtual processors - uncapped

A VIOS partition with 1.25 processing units and 2 virtual processors - uncapped

How many IBM i license are required to support this configuration?
