A.
vSwitch

B.
Standalone SR-IOV

C.
SEA

D.
IVE/HEA

Explanation:
The PowerVM SEA technology can scale well for connectivity and provides options for advanced functions such
as Live Partition Mobility.
Incorrect Answers:
B: SR-IOV can be used in conjunction with PowerVM SEA to provide extra scalability and functionality such as
Live Partition Mobility.
Note: Similar to an AIX, IBM i or Linux partition, a VIOS partition can have SR-IOV ports configured and used
as regular adapters. These adapters can be part of a Shared Ethernet Adapter (SEA) configuration and bridge
traffic from client partitions to the physical network. Because the client partitions configure only a Virtual
Ethernet Adapter, they can continue using the advanced features of PowerVM, such as Live Partition Mobility
and IBM Active Memory Sharing.
