Slide 1: Exam Title : : IBM 000-979 Power Systems with POWER7 and IBM i Technical Sales Skills - v1 Version : Demo
Slide 2: 1. A client has expressed an interest in a new POWER7 system, and has also expressed concern about application availability. They need zero data loss and an outage window of less than 15 minutes. Which of the following will assure the most redundancy and quickest recovery time? A. Configure an iASP and place 2 system units on the same I/O loop. B. Configure a duplicate system in a second location with Cross-Site Mirroring between the systems. C. Configure a duplicate system in a second location with asynchronous remote journaling between the systems. D. Configure SAN storage and place the flash copy disk in a second location connected to a second system unit. Answer: B 2. An IBM i customer is upgrading their system from POWER5 to POWER6. During installation, internal disk storage will be replaced and cross-site mirroring will be implemented. The mirrored site is 50 miles away, and there is a 10Gb fibre connection between the sites. The customer has asked for an estimate of how long the installation, disk replacement, and cross-site mirroring implementation will take. Which of the following critical factors will have the greatest impact on time to implement? A. Cross-site initialization for clustered resources. B. Downtime to copy data to new disk and resynchronize remote journals. C. Disk configuration and restore/synchronization times for cross-site mirroring. D. Downtime for DST to copy the old disk units to the new disk units in both *SYSBAS and the new iASP. Answer: C 3. A client with a POWER5 system running IBM i 5.4.5 wants to upgrade to a POWER7 system running IBM i 7.1. What is the supported migration path? A. Upgrade the POWER5 operating system to 7.1, then migrate the hardware to POWER7. B. Upgrade the hardware to POWER7, then upgrade the operating system to 7.1. C. Upgrade the POWER5 operating system to 7.1, then use the compatibility tools to migrate the data to the POWER7 system. D. Upgrade the POWER5 operating system to 7.1, then move the disk to the new POWER7 system using
Slide 3: the SCSI to SAS migration kit. Answer: A 4. A customer requires their business partner to perform an HMC upgrade prior to an upgrade to their Power Systems server. The customer is located a significant distance away and it would be cost-prohibitive for the business partner to make two trips. What method can save both cost and time for this upgrade project? A. Perform automatic installation using image catalogs on the IBM i. B. Schedule a remote upgrade using Service Agent functionality of the HMC. C. Download HMC images located on an FTP server and perform a remote upgrade. D. Push the upgrade to the customer HMC using Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM). Answer: C 5. A customer is currently running IBM i 5.4.5 on their POWER6 520, and plans to move to a new Power 720 running IBM i 7.1. What planning must be done? A. Plan a slip install of VIOS on the current system, for virtual upgrade path migration. B. Determine if FSP (system) firmware on the current system includes the POWER7 extensions. C. Install VMControl and run the Upgrade Manager wizard to package the system for migration. D. Run ANZOBJCVN on their current system to determine which programs will not convert before upgrading the operating system. Answer: D 6. Which of the following console options is supported at IBM i 7.1 on POWER7 processor based systems? A. Twinax console B. Virtual ASMI console C. Operations Console LAN Attach D. Operations Console Direct Attach Answer: C 7. A customer has a POWER5 550 with IBM i 6.1.1 with 2 loops. The first loop has a FC #5790 - PCI
Slide 4: Expansion Drawer, and the second loop has a FC #5802 PCIe 12X I/O Drawer. The customer wants to upgrade to a Power 750. What are the migration issues? A. IBM i must be upgraded to 7.1.0 first. B. The FC #5790 - PCI Expansion drawer must be replaced. C. A second processor card must be ordered to support an HSL loop. D. The adapter interface on the #5790 must be upgraded to a FC #6432 12X to HSL adapter. Answer: B 8. A POWER5+ customer is considering a POWER7 architecture refresh. The POWER5+ system has two PCI-X I/O loops on it, and the customer would like to retain as much of the existing equipment as possible. The customer will be consolidating other workloads on to the new system so additional I/O and storage will be needed. The new equipment should be as forward-compatible as possible. Which of the following is the minimum loop and drawer configuration that will satisfy the customer's requirements? A. One 12x loop with both PCIe and PCI-X drawers on it. B. Two 12x loops, one for the PCI-X and one for PCIe I/O drawers. C. Three 12x loops, one with GX+, one with GX++, and one with PCIe drawers D. One 12x loop with a PCI-X bridge RPQ to permit both drawer types to be attached. Answer: B 9. A customer has three machines they are consolidating: An 810 with 960 CPW, 16GB of memory, and 800GB of storage. A POWER5 520 with 2400 CPW, 16GB of memory, and 1TB of storage. A POWER5 520 with 2400 CPW, 16GB of memory, and 1.6TB of storage. The customer has stated they need the same resource requirements on the new machine. Which of the following would fit all three partitions at the lowest price? A. A 2-core POWER6 520 B. A 4-core POWER6 520 C. A 4-core POWER7 750
Slide 5: D. A 4-core POWER7 720 Answer: D 10. What occurs when a cache battery on a disk IOA is marked as expired by the system? A. Cache is disabled until the battery is replaced. B. Cache is disabled until the disk adapter is IPLed. C. Cache is disabled until a platform IPL is performed. D. Cache is disabled until the expiration date is reset using SST. Answer: A
