What is a characteristic of virtualizing workloads?

A customer wants to run seven AIX 7.1 partitions in a virtualized environment. The server is a 20-core S822, with 128GB of memory.
Which of the following I/O adapter combinations satisfies the requirement?

Which of the following is open source software that hosts the virtual machines on a KVM hypervisor?

A customer wants to show workloads in real time, highlighting possible problems or bottlenecks.
What will satisfy the requirement?

A customer is ordering a 4-core S814 with the following partitions:
An IBM i partition capped at 1.0 processors
A second IBM i partition capped at 0.5 processors, running a Web Sphere application.
An AIX partition capped at 0.5 processors.
A Linux partition capped at 0.5 processors.
How many Web Sphere licenses are required to support this configuration?

A customer wants to have an AIX Power HA cluster span two sites separated by 100 kilometers.
Which option will span the two sites?

A customer would like a Scale-out server solution with eight cores. They require three partitions. Each partition needs redundant LAN and SAN adapters.
Which solution supports the minimum requirement?

A customer has a 4-node cluster serving a few different applications. The storage requirements are not clearly defined and would be very unpredictable.
How would shared storage pools benefit this customer?

A customer is considering a fully-virtualized infrastructure to be built on Power Systems.
Which capability would allow storage virtualization, and reduce the effort of adding storage to client partitions for the Power system administrator?

A customer needs a new server for their database currently running on a 16-core POWER7 4.1 GHz based server. Oracle has informed the customer that their
SPARC T5 based servers are best suited for running databases, because the SPARC T5 has eight threads per core, while the current servers only allow for up to four threads per core.
Which of the following statements could be correctly used to repudiate the Oracle claim?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) has the following requirements to meet compliance:
"Secure audit trails so they cannot be altered."
"Verify that current audit trail files are protected from unauthorized modifications via access control mechanisms, physical segregation, and network segregation."
Which Power SC offering will support these requirements?

What supports the Easy Tier function for an S822?

A client needs to analyze data in motion in order to be able to respond to millions of events as they happen per second.
Which offering will satisfy their requirement?

What provides a comparison of Power Systems to competitors for applications?

A customer is setting up two new partitions where IBM i is hosting the storage. The customer's high priority is to complete the backups to physical tape as fast as possible, while automating the movement of the single tape library between the partitions Tape library functions are needed for the backup.
Which combination of storage virtualization will achieve the customer's backup priority''

A customer with IBM i and AIX platforms wants to take advantage of a recently acquired XIV Storage System, TS3500 and POWERS system. They are planning to implement 10 LPARs and need to have access to the tape library for SAN backups. The customer also wants to minimize the downtime by VIO Server maintenance.
Which option will satisfy their requirements?

An AIX customer wants to be sure they can update their SAN multipath drivers with a minimal amount of risk, while still being able to perform Live Partition Mobility operations.
Which disk connectivity technology supports these requirements?

A customer running AIX wants to run DB2 on a new S824 server with uncapped partitions. The customer has licensed DB2 for 15 of the 24 active cores and will use it in multiple partitions.
How can the customer ensure that DB2 does not exceed the number of licenses purchased?

A customer wants to consolidate AIX, Linux and IBM i workloads. They are also thinking about Analytic applications and a small-to-mid-size database.
Which of the following servers satisfies the customer's requirements?

A customer wants to move from an IBM Power 740 to an IBM Power S824.
The 740 contains:
(4) disks in the CEC
(10) disks in a FC #5802 (I/O drawer with disks)
(12)disks in a EXP12S
(24) disks in a EXP24S How many disks can be reused with the S824'?
How many disks can be reused with the S824?

A customer wants to install a POWER8 tower system at a remote site. The system will run Red Hat Linux.
Which system is the best option for the requirement?
