IBM Virtualization Technical Support for AIX and Linux - v2 Sample Questions:
1. An administrator has defined a new virtual SCSI server device, vhost0, to support a client LPAR on a new system. A disk, hdisk2, has been presented from a SAN to the VIO server. The administrator attempts to map the disk on the VIO server using the following command. mkvdev -vadapter vhost0 -dev hdisk2 -vdev client_rootvgThe error 'client_rootvg" is not a valid backing device' was received. Which of the following explains the error?
A) The disk is formatted at 522 bytes/block.
B) The -dev and -vdev flags have the incorrect parameters.
C) The virtual target device "client_rootvg" is already in use.
D) The disk is already allocated to another VIO server
2. During the migration of a partition that uses Active Memory Sharing (AMS) the following error is received:
HSCLA304: A suitable shared memory pool for the mobile partitions was not found on the destination managed system...
Which of the following is the most probable cause?
A) The source is using redundant VIO server paging partitions and the destination has only one paging VIO server partition in the shared memory pool.
B) The source and destination servers have different Logical Memory Block sizes.
C) The shared memory pool on the destination is larger than that specified on the source.
D) The available paging devices on the destination are all marked as redundant capable.
3. After installing a new VIO server partition an administrator noticed that the time zone is incorrectly set to CST6DST. The administrator would like the time zone set to Europe/London. Which command will achieve this?
A) chzone -zone Europe/London
B) chtime -tz Europe/London
C) chsys -timezone Europe/London
D) chdate -timezone Europe/London
4. How can an administrator list all VIO server (VIOS) commands run by any user?
A) The history -t command run as the padmin user.
B) The lsgcl command run as the padmin user.
C) The ioslog command run as the root user.
D) The alog -t ios command run as the root user.
5. Which interface must be used to provide virtualization of tape library devices to client LPARs?
A) Virtual SCSI
B) USB
C) Virtual Fibre Channel
D) LTO
