Which of the following is a design consideration for the E870 / E880?
Answer : C
A customer is interested in running a dual VIOS configuration, and wants to avoid SAN boot for the VIOS.
Which of the following solutions should be recommended?
Answer : A
What Power Systems Virtual Switch mode can be used to prevent LPAR to LPAR network traffic within the system?
Answer : D
Which P0WER8 feature can provide increased system performance?
Answer : B
Explanation:
IT organizations must provide increased system performance as their workloads grow with demands for big data analysis, social media applications, continuous customer connectivity, and business-specific applications. Increases in processor performance alone cannot satisfy the workload demands, so solutions must also come from system-level advances such as hybrid computing, processing engine customization, and open platform development that enables cross-company innovation.
The Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) on IBM POWER8 systems provides solution architects with a new way to gain system-level performance. CAPI connects a custom acceleration engine to the coherent fabric of the POWER8 chip. The hybrid solution has a simple programming paradigm while delivering performance well beyond todays I/O attached acceleration engines.
A P0WER6 customer is considering an upgrade to a new Power System, and needs to ensure availability at a DR site. The recovery point must be as close to current as possible without going to continuous availability. Recovery time must be less than four hours.
What should be proposed to the customer?
Answer : A
Explanation:
The benefit of a dual VIOS setup is that it promotes redundancy, accessibility, and serviceability. It also offers load-balancing capabilities for Multipath I/O (MPIO) and multiple shared Ethernet adapter configurations.

A customer has purchased a POWER8 server and will deploy dual VIOSservers to provide virtualized access to storage and networking. The customer has skills in both managing
Power Systems and Storage.
The system contains two 4Gb FC adapter. A V7000 will be used for storage.
Which virtualization technology would be used to present storage to the client partitions?
Answer : C
A retail customer has implemented the following at each store location:
-> A Linux-based POS (Point of Sale) application
-> A data collection application on an x86 system
-> An additional S822L running data analytics
The customer wants to consolidate to a single system in each store. They prefer the
POWER platform, but stated concern about the data structure of the POS systems.
What can be presented to the customer to minimize this concern?
Answer : C
Explanation:
With the new XL C/C++ compiler, you can create and port applications for execution on the next generation of IBM systems supporting little endian architectures and built on POWER8 technology designed to handle big data and to drive modern workloads for cloud, mobile, and social.
