A customer has a significant investment in open source software for performing in-memory analytics. This workload is currently deployed on Linux and recent x86 hardware.

What advantage would a POWER9 processor-based server provide this customer?

A. Faster ChipKill correction rate

B. More cache per core

C. More cores per socket

D. Faster PCIe bandwidth

An installation engineer has configured a new POWER9 processor-based server with two VIOS partitions. The client is questioning the use of resources for two VIOS partitions instead of one.

What benefit does the dual VIOS configuration provide?

A. Provides for better system performance and balance between client partitions.

B. Allows for upgrading the OS on partitions without application downtime.

C. Provides better Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS).

D. Allows for dedicated I/O adapters.

Which of the following is a RAS improvement of a Power System E980 over a Power System E880C?

A. Redundant System Clocks in each node

B. Redundant Voltage Regulators in each node

C. Redundant Service Processors in each node

D. Alternate Processor Recovery

Which open source technology forms the basis for PowerVC?

A. Linux

B. KVM

C. Hadoop

D. OpenStack

Which of the following can be a consequence of running in Maximum Performance mode?

A. Increased acoustic noise

B. Decreased I/O latency

C. Increased memory frequency

D. Decreased power draw

Which of the following is a feature in PowerVM?

A. Simultaneous Multithreading

B. Hard capping of virtual machines

C. Active Memory Expansion

D. Storage Connectivity Groups

A customer wants to transfer existing licenses for PowerHA from a Power System E880 to a new Power System E980.

What service, if any, will allow the customer to do this?

A. Customers cannot transfer the PowerHA licenses

B. Entitled Systems Support

C. FLRT

D. FixCentral

A customer wants to use Live Partition Mobility (LPM) to migrate an AIX 7.1 LPAR from their Power System E980 to some older Power servers in their existing environment.

Assuming their processor mode is set correctly, they can use LPM to move from POWER9 to:

A. POWER8 only.

B. POWER5, POWER6, POWER7, or POWER8.

C. POWER6, POWER7, or POWER8.

D. POWER7, or POWER8.

A customer with a Power System E870 with five IBM i licenses wants to replace it with a new Power System E980 for a new workload. They will require eight IBM i licenses.

What is the most cost-effective way for the customer to accomplish this?

A. Purchase 3 new IBM i licenses and transfer 5.

B. Purchase 2 new IBM i licenses and transfer 6.

C. Purchase 5 new IBM i licenses and transfer 3.

D. Purchase 8 new IBM i licenses.

What is the main advantage of using dedicated donating cores for a Virtual Machine (VM) running a workload on a Power System E980 with multiple VMs?

A. To reduce the cost of software licenses.

B. To extend the processor pool with unused processor cycles.

C. To reduce the cost of activated cores.

D. To enable Elastic Capacity on Demand.
