IBM High Availability for AIX - Technical Support and Administration -v2 Sample Questions:

1. The addition of a service IP address to a resource group fails to pass verification and synchronization.
What is the most likely reason?

A) A route has not been defined for the service IP address on one or more of the nodes in the resource group.
B) The service IP address is incorrectly defined or is missing in/etc/hosts on at least one node in the resource group.
C) IPAT via Replacement is being used and the service IP address is in the same subnet as boot IP addresses.
D) Service IP address distribution policy is set to Anti-Collocation and each interface is already hosting a service IP address.

2. Complete the following statement:
When planning to create PowerHA 7 nodes on Virtual I/O client partitions ________.

A) "reserve_policy" attribute of shared disks through the VIO Servers must be set to "no_reserve'
B) Shared volume groups using virtual SCSI must be non-concurrent.
C) C-SPOC must be used when configuring or changing volume groups on shared disks.
D) Disks can be shared between client partitions using vSCSI and direct access.

3. Company policy requires logical volumes to be mirrored across separate disks and controllers for resilience. An administrator needs to create a 2-node cluster with the existing partitions, LPAR1 and LPAR2.The cluster will host an application with data on a shared volume group.
LPAR1 and LPAR2 are currently hosted on a single Power 770. Each partition is assigned two integrated SAS controllers, each of which has internal hard disk drives (HDDs) that are currently used for rootvg.
Which group of actions will create a shared volume group that complies with company storage policy?

A) Assign to LPAR1 as "desired" the existing LPAR2 SAS controller.
Add HDDs to LPAR2 existing SAS controller disk bays.
Create shared volume group on new HDDs, ensuring the logical volume copies are across
separate HDDs.
Dynamically assign LPAR2 SAS controllers to LPAR1 and update profile with adapters as
"desired."
Import shared volume group on LPAR1.
B) Add HDDs to LPAR1 existing SAS controller disk bays.
Create shared volume group on new HDDs, ensuring the logical volume copies are across
separate HDDs.
Import shared volume on LPAR2.
C) Assign LPAR1 SAS controllers to dual VIO Servers.
Add HDDs to SAS controller disk bays.
Create virtual SCSI device for new disks and assign to both LPAR1 & LPAR2.
Create shared volume group, ensuring the logical volume copies are across separate HDDs and
virtual SCSI devices.
D) Assign LPAR1 &LPAR2 two fibre adapters each.
Zone disk from two independent storage servers to each LPAR fibre adapter.
Create shared volume group on new HDDs, ensuring the logical volume copies are across
separate HDDs & storage servers.

4. Based on the following output from a PowerHA 7 cluster node, what else can be done to provide higher availability?

A) Change non mirrored volume group disks to hot spare using the chpv command
B) Enable fast failure detection.
C) Mirror caavg_private across shared disk.
D) Mirror rootvg across local disk.

5. What type of IP address configuration is required to enable Cluster Aware AIX (CAA) monitoring features?

A) A reserved private address in the 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 address range
B) A multicast IP address
C) An IPV6 address
D) A dynamic IP address
