You are a system administrator for your company. Your company network has an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. All servers in the network run Windows Server 2008. The company plans to install a new HPC cluster and configure it as a separate forest named hpc.fabrikam.com. You create a new Active DirectoryCintegrated DNS zone named hpc.fabrikam.com that is hosted on the contoso.com DNS server. You need to configure the hpc.fabrikam.com DNS zone to accept automatic registration of the cluster nodes. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. Your company network has computers that run non-Microsoft operating systems. These computers must access the cluster resources. You need to configure the cluster to accept jobs from the computers that run non-Microsoft operating systems. Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

You are a system administrator for your company. Your company plans to install a new Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. The company requires that the HPC cluster head node be installed on a failover cluster. You need to prepare the failover cluster nodes before you install HPC Pack 2008. Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

You are a system administrator for your company. You install a head node of a new Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. You preconfigure 20 new compute nodes. You need to add the preconfigured compute nodes to the cluster. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. The cluster uses a network topology that has compute nodes isolated on a private network. Network address translation (NAT) services are disabled on the head node. Your company deploys a new service-oriented architecture (SOA) application. You need to configure the cluster to support the SOA application. What should you do?

You are a system administrator for your company. You install a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition and a set of company standard applications on a new server. You install HPC Pack 2008 and configure a head node for a new Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. You are unable to submit commands to the cluster from the command-line tools because of an authentication error. However, you are able to communicate with the cluster by using Windows PowerShell and the HPC Management Console. You need to resolve the authentication error. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has four compute nodes. Each compute node is configured on the following three networks: Network A192.168.15.0/255.255.255.0Network B10.2.0.1/255.255.255.0Network C10.4.0.0/255.255.255.0 You need to ensure that Microsoft Message Passing Interface (MPI) uses Network C. Which command should you run on the head node?

You are a system administrator for your company. Your company deploys Windows HPC Server 2008 that has compute nodes on a private network and an application network. You install an InfiniBand subnet manager service and a DHCP service on the cluster head node. The InfiniBand host channel adapter (HCA) cards on the cluster nodes must use the IP addresses assigned by the DHCP service. You need to configure the DHCP service to support the outlined network configuration. What should you do?

You are a system administrator for your company. You are configuring a new Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. The cluster must have the following configuration: Two Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) broker nodesFifty compute nodesThe Windows Deployment Services role installed automatically on the head node You need to configure the nodes to meet the requirements of the cluster. Which configuration should you choose?

You are a system administrator for your company. Your company network includes a DHCP server. You install a new Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has compute nodes isolated on a private network. The cluster compute nodes are configured for automatic IP address assignment. You also create a new DHCP scope for the private network on the DHCP server. You need to configure the cluster to support automatic IP address assignment for the compute nodes from the new DHCP scope. What should you do?
