Question 1

A customer calls to complain about slow workload performance but offers no additional details. What should the administrator do next?

AAsk the caller for additional details.

BAdd two more virtual CPUs by DLPAR operation.

CIncrease CPU entitlement by 10%

DAdd 10% more memory by DLPAR operation

Answer : A

When a customer calls with a complaint about slow workload performance, it is important to ask for additional details to help pinpoint the source of the issue. This could include details such as which application or process is running slowly, what errors are appearing, how long the issue has been occurring, etc. Having this information will help the administrator to determine the cause of the problem and determine the best course of action. Reference: IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide (page 5-29).

Question 2

An administrator has configured NFS export in the /etc/exports file. Based on the following output, with which permissions has the /tmp directory been exported?

Ano permissions

Bwrite-only permissions

Cread-write permissions

Dread-only permissions

Answer : D

Question 3

When the system boots it stops and displays reference code 551. This reference code means the rootvg will not varyon. What is the best way for the administrator to proceed?

APerform a debug boot of AIX and diagnose/fix the problem.

BPerform a maintenance mode boot of AIX and diagnose/fix the problem.

CReinstall AIX or restore from a mksysb.

DRestart the system.

Answer : B

This code indicates that the rootvg will not varyon, and performing a maintenance boot allows the administrator to diagnose the issue and fix it. From the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide: 'When the system is halted with a reference code 551, the rootvg will not varyon and the system will not boot. The administrator must perform a maintenance mode boot to diagnose the problem.'

Question 4

While trying to extend a file system named /work an administrator receives the following error. 0516-787 extendlv: Maximum allocation for logical volume fslv00 is 256.

What must be done to allow the file system to be extended?

AIncrease the volume group's maximum limit of logical partitions per logical volume.

BChange the logical volume type to jfs2 as JFS logical volumes cannot extend past 256.

CChange the file system's maximum capacity.

DIncrease the setting for maximum number of logical partitions for that logical volume.

Answer : D

This error indicates that the maximum number of logical partitions for the logical volume is set to 256 and needs to be increased in order to allow the file system to be extended. From the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide: 'The 0516-787 error indicates that the maximum number of logical partitions for the logical volume is set to 256, and needs to be increased in order to allow the file system to be extended.'

Question 5

A system administrator has noticed that static routes are missing after rebooting a system. What is the most likely reason for this?

AThe administrator has failed to configure the routes in the lo0 device with the chdev command.

BThe administrator has failed to configure the routes with the route add command.

CThe administrator has failed to run the cfgmgr command before rebooting the systems.

DThe administrator has failed to configure the routes in the inet0 device with the chdev command.

Answer : C

The administrator has failed to run the cfgmgr command before rebooting the systems. Running the cfgmgr command before rebooting a system is important, as it ensures that any changes made to the configuration are written to the system, otherwise the changes may be lost when the system is rebooted. Other commands such as chdev and route add are not related to this issue and will not solve the problem.

For more information on the cfgmgr command, please refer to the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide, page 10-7. The guide can be found here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_72/cfgmgmt/cfgmgr_command.htm.

Question 6

A customer runs smit on the AIX command line and receives the message below:

1800-005 SMIT requires a minimum of 24 line by 80 column output display.

What can be done to resolve the error?

ASet the TERM variable to smit.

BChange their DISPLAY environment variable.

CResize their window.

DMake sure they are running as the root user.

Answer : C

The root user is not required to run SMIT, and the size of the window is the only factor that determines the minimum output display requirements. According to the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide (page 9-3), SMIT requires 24 lines and 80 columns for the output display for successful execution.

Question 7

While executing the following extendvg command, the system administrator receives the following error:

The administrator used the chvg -t command to fix the error.

What is the implication of running this command?

AIt reduces the maximum number of logical volumes allowed within that volume group.

BIt reduces the maximum number of files allowed within that volume group.

CIt reduces the maximum file size allowed within that volume group.

DIt reduces the maximum number of physical volumes allowed within that volume group.

Answer : D

The chvg command with the -t option is used to reduce the maximum number of physical volumes (PVs) allowed in a volume group (VG). This is necessary when the number of PVs in a VG exceeds the maximum allowed. Reference: IBM AIX v7 Administration Specialty Study Guide (section 10.3.3, pp. 641-642).
