A Power Systems server, running AIX, Linux and IBM i partitions, encounters performance
problems.
To investigate the problem, the administrator wants to collect high-level cross-partition
performance data from an IBM i partition.
What is required?

A processor upgrade to a new 4-core Power 720 is planned, with processors capped and shared
processor pools enabled, using the following configuration:
IBM i: Minimum – 1 .0; Desired – 2.5; Maximum – 2.5
Linux: Minimum – 0.5; Desired – 1.0; Maximum – 1.0
AIX: Minimum – 0.5; Desired – 0.5; Maximum – 1 .0
How many processor entitlements for IBM i are required on the new system?

A system needs maintenance that requires the entire system to be brought down. The system is
running multiple IBM i partitions, all being hosted by and all resources owned by VIO Server
(VIOS).
After performing the maintenance, VIOS is brought back up and IBM i partitions are reactivated.
Two partitions have SPO codes indicating they cannot find disk drives.
What is the most likely cause?

Auditors have reviewed access to the HMC and determined that many users have too much
authority. What is the correct method to restrict users to only a specific set of tasks?

A customer needs to replace a failed tape controller card on a running partition. The service action
Serviceability-> Hardware -> Exchange ERU has been started. The card has been selected and
the service action has been launched.
The message “The requested service action cannot currently be completed from this management
console” is displayed.
What is the most likely reason for this error?

A client IBM i partition, with multipath SAN disk provided by dual VIO Servers, has used most of its

available storage. Extra disk storage is required.
Several spare LUN5 (hdisks) are already mapped to the VIO Servers.
The administrator runs identical commands on the VIO Servers to create the bridging devices to
define the two new LUNs to the client partition.
SST on the IBM i partition shows 4 new1 unconfigured disks.
Which statement explains why4 disks appeared, instead of 2?

An administrator is building a client IBM i partition to be used as a development environment. The
client partition requires 210GB of disk space, which will be provided by the hosting IBM i LPAR.
On the hosting IBM i LPARI which disk configuration will provide the best performance to the client
LPAR?

In the following example, the VIO Server partitions each provide disk to a client IBM i partition. The
client IBM i partition has mirrored the disk presented to it.

Contact with one VIO Server is lost, and the disk it presents to the client shows as “suspended” in
IBM i. Once contact has been re-established, what action must the administrator take?

What type of Ethernet adapter is supported in an IBM i partition when using Live Partition Mobility?

A customer would like to share a tape adapter between two partitions. The time of day which the
save completes varies significantly on one of the partitions. What is the most appropriate way to
move the tape resource to avoid failures and resource contention?
