B. Jumbo Frames

C. Flow Control

D. Port Group MCS

Correct Answer: C

Question 10

An administrator is attempting to remove a virtual adapter from an AIX partition using an HMC running V7R7.2. The DLPAR operation is failing with the following message:
"Virtual adapters that are marked as required cannot be dynamically removed from the partition. Please change your adapter selections and try the operation again."
How can the administrator remove the virtual adapter while minimizing any downtime?

A. Remove the virtual adapter from the partition profile and reactivate the partition.

B. Modify the active properties for the partition so that the adapter is not required for partition activation and repeat the DLPAR operation.

C. Select the 'Force' option when performing the DLPAR operation.

D. Modify the last activated partition profile so that the adapter is not required for partition activation and repeat the DLPAR operation.

Correct Answer: D

Question 11

When installing a Linux LPAR from an AIX NIM server, what steps are required?

A. Configure LPAR as a NIM client Copy DVD to local directory Configure Linux SPOT Boot into SMS and configure remote IPL settings
