You are a system administrator for your company. Your company deploys a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has a head node installed on a failover cluster. The failover cluster has two servers named Server1 and Server2. You configure the head node on Server1. You discover that in the HPC Management Console, the state of Server2 is set to Unknown. You need to configure the head node on Server2. What should you do?

You design a new Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. You procure servers that have the following ports: Dual 1-Gb Ethernet ports named NIC1 and NIC2 Dual high-speed interconnect ports named IB1 and IB2 Users submit Microsoft Message Passing Interface (MPI) jobs that require optimum performance of the network. You need to ensure that the applications that run on the HPC cluster receive maximum throughput with minimal latency. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. The cluster has an application that requires custom records for the application network interface in the Hosts file. You add the required names to the Hosts file and synchronize the file on all nodes. You discover that the application is unable to run because the name resolution for the custom names has failed. You need to configure the name resolution for the custom records in the Hosts file. What should you do?

You are a system administrator for your company. Your companys data center network uses 24-port 10-gigabit switches. Your company deploys a new Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has 100 compute nodes in the data center network. You need to configure the switches to support private and application cluster networks. What should you do?

You are a system administrator for your company. Your company plans to install a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has 11 compute nodes. You install the cluster head node and create a domain user account that will be used to deploy the cluster compute nodes. You need to ensure that the account has user rights to create Active Directory computer accounts for all compute nodes. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. You run the MPI Ping Pong: Quick Check cluster diagnostics test on all cluster nodes. The test executes and displays the result as "Failed". You need to get detailed information about the test execution progress. What should you do?

You are a system administrator for your company. Your company has recently deployed a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that uses InfiniBand switched-fabric communications. You plan to customize a node template. You need to ensure that when the customized node template is used to deploy a new HPC node, the InfiniBand network device drivers are installed. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. You plan to add new nodes to the cluster by using bare metal deployment capabilities. You want to use an existing node that is customized as the template to deploy the new nodes. You need to customize the deployment image to match the existing customized node. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. You have recently deployed three new nodes by using bare metal provisioning capabilities. After deployment, you discover that the new nodes are in the Unknown state. You need to identify the cause of the Unknown state of the nodes. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that uses an InfiniBand switch for the application network. The cluster requires five additional compute nodes. The WinOF InfiniBand software is installed on all compute nodes and servers. You install Windows Server 2008 HPC Edition on the five new servers and connect them to the cluster networks. You need to verify whether the OpenIB Network Direct provider is installed on the new compute nodes before you join them to the cluster. Which command should you run on each node?
