A system administrator is planning to load AIX onto 30 LPARs on a new Power 795 server
that already has VIO Server LPARs in place. Due to security policy, Network Install Manger
(NIM) servers are not allowed in this environment. The Power 795 server has one DVD-RAM
installed. Which of the following methods would provide the most rapid deployment of AIX
onto the 30 LPARs?

A.
Use DLPAR to move the DVD-RAM and its controlling adapter from one LPAR to the
next.

B.
Create one virtual target device backed by the DVD-RAM from one VIO server to each
client LPAR in the system.

C.
For each additional target LPAR, use alt_disk_copy to clone the rootvg of the first
manually installed client LPAR

D.
Create a virtual target device on a file-backed optical device for each LPAR, and create a
virtual optical device from the DVD-RAM.
