You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. You have recently deployed five new nodes to the cluster. You discover that after deployment, the Heat Map view for all nodes appears shaded and no metrics is reported. You need to ensure that the Heat Map view works correctly. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has 150 nodes. Some nodes are located in remote sites that do not have connectivity to port 3389 of the node. You need to develop a monitoring plan for events from all nodes including newly provisioned nodes. What should you do to view node events from all nodes?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. You plan to use a node XML file to specify the nodes that you want to add to the HPC cluster. You also plan to use a node template named Template1 to deploy the images. You need to configure the node XML file to specify the nodes that will be installed from bare metal. 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 provisioning capabilities. You need to ensure the new nodes adhere to your company naming standards. What should you do?

You are deploying a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster for your company. The cluster head node is configured with a network topology that has compute nodes isolated on a private network. You want to add new servers as compute nodes to the cluster. You open the HPC Management Console, start the Add Node Wizard, and select an option to add compute nodes from an operating system image. You start the new servers and discover that the wizard is unable to display any of the new servers on the Select New Nodes page. You need to ensure that the new servers are displayed on the Select New Nodes page of the wizard. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. You plan to deploy new nodes to the cluster by using an existing node template. A folder and its files are stored on the head node. You need to ensure that the folder and its files are copied to each node by using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. Which task should you add to the node template?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has 120 compute nodes. The cluster requires 10 additional compute nodes. You manually install Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition on 10 new servers and connect them to the cluster networks. You open HPC Management Console, start the Add Node Wizard, and select an option to add preconfigured compute nodes. You discover that the wizard is unable to list any of the new servers. You need to ensure that all the new servers are available for the wizard. What should you do before you restart the wizard?

You are a system administrator for your company. Your company deploys a new Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. The company requires a record of performance information over time. The record must include link latency and throughput statistics. You need to periodically execute a command that collects the required information. Which command should you run?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster. You have recently deployed 10 new nodes to the cluster. Users report that only seven of the new nodes function as part of the cluster. You discover that three new nodes are in the Unknown state. You need to find out the problem that has prevented the three nodes from joining the cluster. What should you do?

You administer a Windows HPC Server 2008 cluster that has 150 nodes. Users report that cluster jobs take longer than normal to complete. You need to calculate the network latency between the nodes. What should you do?
