Correct Answer: D

Question 4

A customer has a 2-core POWER6 system with five partitions and two PowerVM Standard
Edition licenses, and wants to migrate to a 6-core Power SB14.
Which licensing requirement is necessary to accomplish their migration?

A. Migrate two licenses of PowerVM to the new POWER8 machine.

B. Migrate two licenses of PowerVM from the POWER6 to the POWER8 and purchase four licenses for the POWER8 machine.

C. Purchase six licenses of PowerVM for the POWER8 machine.

D. Purchase three licenses of PowerVM for the POWER8 machine and use the three no- charge activations included with PowerVM.

Correct Answer: C

Question 5

A customer is willing to consolidate several servers running Oracle and DB2 databases from several departments on a single server, while keeping them administratively separate.
They are concerned about licensing after consolidation, because they are not willing to pay for Oracle licenses for the cores running DB2 and pay for DB2 licenses on cores running
Oracle.
What would be the best method to handle this situation, to make the environment compliant and achieve the customer demands?

A. Create one uncapped LPAR per consolidated server, monitor CPU usage and keep a spreadsheet up-to-date to account for the databases licenses used for compliance audits.

B. Create one capped LPAR per consolidated server, on each LPAR profile page on the
HMC select the corresponding database type, and make sure DB Isolation option is checked

C. Create two capped LPARs, one for Oracle databases and other for DB2 databases, and make sure the LPARs have the right amount of cores assigned to them according to customer existing licenses

D. Create two Shared Processor Pools, one for Oracle and another for DB2, and consolidate the servers on distinct LPARs on the corresponding pool

Correct Answer: D

Question 6

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. S824

B. S822

C. S812

D. S822L

Correct Answer: A

Question 7

A large manufacturer wants to consolidate their existing AIX and Linux environments to
POWER8. The customer has four AIX servers and twelve Ubuntu servers.
Which solution will satisfy the requirements?

A. (1) S822L with Power VM

B. (1) S822 with Power VM and (1) S822L with Power KVM

C. (1) S822 with Power VM and Power KVM

D. (1) S822L with Power KVM

Correct Answer: B

Question 8

A customer has a Power 740 with 16 cores and 64GB RAM, running an Oracle database.
The server is attached to an EXP24S with 20 disks 300GB 10K RPM and has been experiencing performance issues. After an analysis there were some findings:
Average CPU usage for the database is 30%
Average Memory usage is 60%
High I/O waits are being experienced, around 50% of total CPU
An Oracle sales representative ran a POC of an Exadata X4-2 Half Rack to help with the performance issues.
The performance on Exadata was better than the existing solution, so the customer called
IBM, considering a migration to a new Oracle solution.
Which response is appropriate to defend the IBM solution?

A. Exadata is comprised of a cluster of servers connected by Infiniband. You are comparing this to a single server. IBM can propose a second server with an Infiniband network to address this issue.

B. Exadata might have run the Oracle database faster due to the fact that it is powered by
Oracle SPARC T5 processors which were designed for Oracle software. On the other hand, other workloads will definitely run slower, so you should stick to the existing solution for a balanced performance across your environment.

C. Exadata X4-2 Half Rack has four servers with two sockets each. It should be compared with the performance of a POWER 770 which can also scale up to eight sockets. IBM can propose an upgrade scenario to even move partitions without downtime with LPM.

D. Exadata is a solution comprised of servers, disk storage, flash storage, networking and software. Your server is apparently fine, but there might be a problem with storage. IBM can propose a faster storage solution, allowing you to keep the server and optimize your costs.

Correct Answer: C

Question 9
