QUESTION 14A customer wants to run DB2 on a Power 780 with uncapped partitions. They have licensed DB2 for 32 of the64 active cores, and will use it in multiple partitions. How can the customer ensure that the number of licensespurchased for DB2 is not exceeded?

A. Create a 32core shared processor pool for the DB2 partitions.B. Limit the number of virtual processors on each DB2 partition to 32.C. Use the IBM License Metric Tool to dynamically manage DB2 usage in the partitions.D. Set the 'Desired Processing Units' in each DB2 partition profile so that the sum of all partitions equals 32.


QUESTION 15A customer has two Power 770 systems with 4 enclosures each. Thirty two cores and 1TB of memory areactivated on each system. Each system has 3 database partitions and each partition has 10 cores and 300GBof memory. Which solution will provide automated recovery of unplanned outages at least cost?

A. Purchase PowerVM Enterprise Edition. Use System Director to automate Live Partition Mobility to recoverfrom partition failure.

B. Create additional shared processor partitions as standby nodes. Use PowerHA SystemMirror to activate

and use CoD resources when a failover occurs.C. Purchase an additional 32core Power 750 with PowerHA SystemMirror Standard Edition. Use the new

system as standby node with the XD component of PowerHA.D. Purchase an additional Power 770 system. Locate production and standby database partitions on each

system. Use DB2 pureScale to provide automated partition monitoring and failover.


QUESTION 16A customer has ten RS/6000 Model M80, two pSeries 690 Model 681, five POWER5 510 and two POWER6560 machines installed and running commercial applications. They want to do a server consolidation study inorder to replace the existing systems with POWER7 systems. What performance metric is recommended whenevaluating the replacement system?

A. IBM CPWB. IBM rPerfC. SPECint_rate2006D. IDEAS International RPE2


QUESTION 17Which of the following is a correct statement about rPerf?

A. It can only be used on systems running without partitions.B. It is relevant for IBM systems running the AIX operating system.C. It is the main benchmark for sizing systems that will run HPC applications.D. It has a direct relationship with other benchmarks like TPCC and SpecjAppServer2004.


QUESTION 18The systems administrator of a large manufacturer has POWER5 and POWER6 servers, each with LPARsrunning AIX 6.1. They are running several workloads including SAP, DNS, Oracle, DB2 and WebSphereApplication Server, and plan to consolidate onto one POWER7 server. How can the system administratordetermine how much benefit Active Memory Expansion (AME) could provide for the consolidated system?

A. Run amepat now on all of the existing LPARs.B. Run amepat after consolidation on all LPARs.C. Run amepat now on all existing LPARs running on the POWER6 servers.D. Run amepat now on all existing LPARs running database applications.


QUESTION 19Which of the following virtualization options are unique to AIX and PowerVM compared to other UNIX basedofferings?

A. Software virtualization through PowerVM and hardware virtualization through IBM Systems Director.B. Hardware virtualization through Workload Partitions (WPARS) and software virtualization through PowerVM.C. Software virtualization through Workload Partitions (WPARS) and hardware virtualization through PowerVM.D. Hardware virtualization through Workload Partitions (WPARS) and software virtualization through IBM

Systems Director.
