  A. Redbook Planning Guides
  B. Local Field Technical Sales Support
  C. Lab Services
  D. Advanced Technical Support
  A. Redbook Planning Guides

  ---

  Explanation: Redbook planning guides are a huge resource which provides designing and installation guidelines for various IBM products including but not limited to Power systems SmartCloud solutions and host of other solutions.

• Question 64:

  An application has a high availability requirement and is implemented with two local partitioned POWER8 servers and one remote partitioned POWER8 server. One local server runs production and replicates data to the backup local server. The backup local server replicates data to backup remote server. What is the minimum number of HMCs required to support the sites?

  A. 4
  B. 2
  C. 3
  D. 1
  C. 3

  ---

  You need 3 HMCs for backup local server to replicate data to backup remote server. Reference: http:// www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp5102.pdf

• Question 65:

  A customer has a requirement for analytics with structured and unstructured data. They want to use Open source products.

  What will satisfy the requirement?

  A. HortonWorks on a Linux on Power cluster
  B. Veristorm on a Linux on Power cluster
  C. Cloudera on a POWER8 IFL on an E870
  D. Netezza on an S824
  B. Veristorm on a Linux on Power cluster

  IBM Power Systems, built on the POWER8 processor and architecture, are specifically designed for optimum Big Data and cloud performance.

  Combined with Veristorm Data HubTM (VDH), you can deploy a robust, open-source distribution of ApacheTM Hadoop?that is optimized for Linux on Power Systems. This combination brings you the best of both worlds: The innovation of the

  vibrant Hadoop ecosystem, and the performance and cost advantages of POWER8.

  With Veristorm Data Hub, Hadoop on Power Systems, you can deliver self-service analytics with more intelligence, leveraging data volumes that exceed traditional systems.

• Question 67:

  As a virtualization host, what is an advantage of VIOS compared to IBM i?

  A. Virtual SCSI
  B. Virtual Ethernet
  C. Dual (redundant) management partitions
  D. V3700 external disk virtualization
  B. Virtual Ethernet

  ---

  As a client of VIOS, with VIOS connecting to a storage subsystem through the SAN fabric. VIOS sees the LUNs and then maps them as virtual SCSI (VSCSI) LUNS to the IBM i client partition.

• Question 68:

  A customer has many x86 systems running Linux and has run out of server rack space.

  Which statement indicates how a Power Systems provides a solution to resolve the space issue?

  A. Power rack systems are 2U and 4U and have a much smaller footprint than x86 systems.
  B. Power rack systems are four sockets and therefore can reduce the space requirements by two times.
  C. Higher performance means fewer servers for same workload.
  D. Lower energy consumption means less HVAC and therefore increases available datacenter space.
  D. Lower energy consumption means less HVAC and therefore increases available datacenter space.

  ---

  Explanation: IBM Power system has lower energy consumption which means less HVAC. This increases available datacenter space.

• Question 69:

  What is an advantage of the POWER8 Scale-out systems compared to a competitive Oracle T5 offering?

  A. The option to run SUSE Linux.
  B. The ability to connect to a SAN.
  C. The ability to support internal drives.
  D. The option to run multiple partitions.
  D. The option to run multiple partitions.

  ---

  Explanation: Power8 Scale-out systems support internal drives whereas Oracle T5 supports only external drives and SAN.

• Question 70:

  How does POWER8 technology contribute to lower TCO?

  A. Software licensing and with Capacity on Demand allows software to be licensed to the lowest core count.
  B. Higher performance cores reduces software licensing.
  C. RAS features mean the cost of failover systems can be eliminated.
  D. The lower energy usage of Power Systems can reduce 20% of systems costs.
  D. The lower energy usage of Power Systems can reduce 20% of systems costs.

  ---

  Explanation: Power8 system has everything a datacenter needs. The lower energy usage of Power Systems can reduce system costs up to 20%. This translates into lower TCO and maximum efficiency.
