IBM PureApplication System Technical Sales Mastery Test v1 Sample Questions:

1. Which of the following statements applies if a database virtual application (DBaaS) fails in IBM PureApplication System?

A) IBM PureApplication System will automatically detect the failure and restart the database according to the retry_count and retry_delay parameters in the virtual application pattern
B) IBM PureApplication System will not detect the failure
C) IBM PureApplication System will automatically detect the failure and restart the database once only
D) IBM PureApplication System will automatically detect the failure but provides no DBaaS recovery

2. An application deployer has created a JEE virtual application pattern, based on the Web Application 2.0.0.0 pattern type, and locked it down. The system Administrator meanwhile has installed Web Application pattern type 2.0.0.1 and created a number of DB2 emergency fixes in the catalog applicable to the foundation virtual image upon which the JEE virtual application pattern is based. Which of the following is a true statement?

A) Use the "Manage" -> "Operation" link of the virtual application instance to generate a heap dump for memory analysis
B) Use the "Upgrade" link of the virtual application instance to apply the emergency fixes to the virtual application
C) Use the "Upgrade" link of the virtual application instance to apply the Web Application pattern type 2.0.0.1 changes to the virtual application
D) Use the "Manage" -> "Operation" link of the virtual application instance to apply the emergency fixes to the virtual application

3. The extend and capture feature in IBM PureApplication system is useful in situations where you want to make system modifications or changes to the product environment such as adding maintenance files or other product installation packages that are common among all deployments. However, this feature does have a few limitations, including: (Choose three.)

A) You cannot add additional activation bundles
B) You cannot modify the WebSphere Application Server Profiles disk
C) You cannot extend an image that was not shipped with IBM PureApplication System
D) You cannot extend image from a snapshot
E) You cannot modify the sizes of the different virtual disks that make up the virtual image

4. The essence of virtual applications in IBM PureApplication System (IPAS) is that is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution in which your application takes center stage and IPAS takes care of the deployment and configuration of the underlying middleware components for you. With all that transparency at the infrastructure level what system and middleware health check options are possible from the deployed virtual application instance?

A) The Configuration panel allows you to dynamically enable additional traces for debugging purposes
B) The Logging panel allows you to check the middleware specific logs such as the SystemOut or FFDC logs for problems
C) The Configuration panel allows you to upload a new or update an SSH public key to the target environment in order to log in directly to the system for troubleshooting
D) The Monitoring panel allows you to query middleware specific usage stats such as heapsize, connection pools, response times, etc.
E) All of the above

5. VLANs are used by IBM PureApplication System to create separate logical networks over a single physical network layer in order to isolate different types of network traffic. Which of the following designated networks are required for internal management? (Choose three.)

A) Console network
B) Consolidated network
C) VM network
D) Management network
E) Mobility network
