IBM Power Systems with POWER7 Common Technical Sales Skills - v1 Sample Questions:

Question #1
A customer has shut down an LPAR after using DLPAR to add or remove processor and memory resources. When the partition is reactivated, the desired changes are missing.What action, or sequence of actions, will immediately and permanently solve this problem?

A. Add or remove the resources using DLPAR, then shutdown and reactivate the LPAR.
B. Add or remove the resources in the system profile and reboot the managed system.
C. Add or remove the resources in the profile, click 'apply', then 'save'.
D. Add or remove the resources using DLPAR and change the partition profile.

Question #2
A customer has an HMC-managed Power Systems server with 6 partitions. Four production partitions are subject to varying workloads throughout the day, and two are used for development and testing. The production applications have different licensing limitations on the number of physical cores that may be used. The development partitions can use no more than 1 core. The customer would like to dynamically optimize processor utilization within the licensing limits, with minimal operator intervention. Which of the following meets the customer requirement?

A. Create a shared processor pool for each production partition, with the maximum processor limit
set to the licensing limit for the application in the pool. Assign the development and testing
partitions to a processor pool with a maximum of 1 core. Configure each partition to use uncapped
processing.
B. Define the production partitions' maximum CPU to the licensing limitations.
Define the development/test partitions to use no more than one core. Configure the HMC
scheduler to dynamically assign processors among the pools over a day.
C. Define the production partitions' maximum CPU to the licensing limitations.
Define the development/test partition maximums to one core. Configure each partition to be
capped.
D. Define the production partitions' maximum CPU to the licensing limitations.
Define the development/test partition maximums to one core. Configure each partition to be
uncapped.

Question #3
How can a customer use existing traditional 3.5 inch SAS disks in a new 6-core Power 720 at minimum cost?

A. Disks can be placed into a FC #5886 EXP 12S expansion drawer.
B. Disks can be placed into a FC #5802 PCI-e 12X I/O drawer.
C. Disks can be placed into a FC #5796 PCI-x DDR 12X I/O drawer.
D. Disks can be re-mounted in FC #6887 2.5 inch carriers and placed in the CEC.

Question #4
A customer has a local data center with production and backup servers sharing a DS6800. They need to switch between backup and production systems for maintenance and cannot afford to have any disruption in service.
Which product is the correct solution for this customer?

A. PowerHA SystemMirror
B. PowerHA FlashCopy
C. PowerHA Realtime
D. PowerHA MetroMirror Local Edition

Question #5

A. Power 710
B. Power 720
C. Power 730
D. Power 740
