Following the reboot of one VIO server (VIOS) in a redundant configuration, a client is showing
failed disk paths on some channels.
What is the most likely reason the disk paths have failed?

A customer has four LPARs: VIO1, VIO2, LPAR1 and LPAR2
VIO Servers (VIOS) are configured with SEA adapter failover and 802.1Q is enabled on the
LPARs.
During scheduled maintenance, VIO1 is brought down and the SEA failover happens
automatically.
However, network traffic is not leaving the VIO for LPAR1.
The SEA interfaces are setup as follows:
VIO1 – SEA
PVIDs 55,60,65,70
VIO2 – SEA

PVIDs 45,60,65,75
The LPARs have their virtual network devices setup as follows:
LPAR1 – Adapter ID 55 – VLAN ID 75
LPAR2 – Adapter ID 60 – VLAN ID 45
What is the reason for the networking problem?

An administrator needs to update a legacy VIO server (VIOS) partition from version 1.5 to the
most current version. The rootvg of the VIOS server is presented from SAN and is managed using
the SDDPCM package.
Which of the following must be considered?

After applying the latest Fix Pack to a VIO server, the administrator finds an issue with the hosted
media repository. The lsrep command fails with the following error:

“Unable to retrieve repository date due to incomplete repository structure”
What is the most likely cause for this error?

An administrator is attempting to apply a Fix Pack to an VIO server which is not connected to a
network. The administrator loaded the Fix Pack DVD into the drive. The updates command fails
with an error stating that the local SAS optical drive is busy.
What must be verified before attempting to use the optical drive?

An administrator is troubleshooting a network connectivity error on a POWER blade.
Checking netstat, the administrator can see that the relevant adapter is “up and running”. A ping
test to the default gateway times out.
Checking on another adapter, connected to the same LPAR, ping works as expected.
What needs to be checked?

After a hardware failure, a VIO server has been restored from a mksysb image on a NIM server.
When the VIO server boots, the client LPARs have no network access?
What is the cause of this problem?

Which of the following statements regarding the implementation of Multiple Shared Processor
Pools (MSPPs) is correct?

An administrator is planning to update a server managed with Integrated Visualization Manager
(IVM) from version 1.5 to version 2.2.
Which of the following statements should the administrator take into consideration?

A redundant pair of VIO Servers is used to virtualize the same SAN LUNs to a number of AIX
LPARs. To ensure that Multipath 10 is correctly configured an administrator sets the appropriate
device attributes on the vSCSI disks on the clients.
One of the VIO Servers was shut down for 5 minutes to simulate a failure. After the VIO Server
was brought back online, the administrator found that some LPARs recovered their storage paths
automatically, yet some LPARs did not recover their paths at all.
How can the administrator recover from the lack of path recovery?
