S2000-025: IBM AIX v7.3 Administrator SpecialtyDemo

QuestionQ5

Setup

An administrator must start an AIX LPAR from AIX installation media. A running VIO server and a virtual media library containing the installation media are available, but the network is not yet available.

Where should they boot from?

  • A Virtual media from the Hardware Management Console (HMC)
  • B Virtual optical device from the Virtual Media Mirror (VMM)
  • C Virtual optical device from Virtual SCSI (vSCSI)
  • D Virtual media from the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
Explanation

A VIOS virtual media repository exposes its installation image to the client LPAR as a virtual optical device over virtual SCSI (vSCSI). The LPAR can select that SCSI CD-ROM device in SMS and boot it without network availability; the HMC is used to configure or manage the mapping, not as the boot device.
