Question 1

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?



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 2

Which AIX command displays the types, counts, and percentages of LPAR memory?



Answer : C

The vmstat command is used to display the types, counts, and percentages of LPAR memory. The -v flag is used to display the virtual memory statistics, including the types and counts of memory. Reference: IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide (page 6-17).


Question 3

Which command will show when a file was last accessed?



Answer : C

The istat command displays information about the inode of a file, including the last access time. This command is available on IBM AIX v7 systems and is documented in the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide. The syntax for the command is 'istat file', where 'file' is the path to the file you would like to check. For more information, please see the IBM documentation athttps://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ssw_aix_72/com.ibm.aix.cmds2/istat.htm.


Question 4

An administrator checks the IBM Fix Level Recommendation Tool (FLRT) for their system to see if they need to update IBM firmware or software.

The tool asks for their current system firmware level. How can the administrator confirm what it is?



Answer : A

According to the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide, the lsmcode command is used to list the microcode of the system. The -A flag is used to list the microcode level and the active microcode level of the system. This command can be used to confirm the system firmware level which is required to use the IBM Fix Level Recommendation Tool (FLRT).


Question 5

An AIX system is defined as a NIM client with -a connect=shell. The client system is up and running. The client can ping the NIM master, and the master can ping the client. The administrator of the NIM master system attempts to use NIM to install software updates on the NIM client, but receives the error message Permission denied.

What can the administrator of the AIX NIM client do to help resolve the problem?



Answer : D

When using theconnect=shelloption, a successful NIM operation requires that the root user on the NIM client has an entry in its .rhosts file for the NIM master, and that the file permissions are set to 600. This is documented in the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide. More information on this can be found athttps://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_72/com.ibm.aix.security/nim_security.htm.


Question 6

Which file starts the System Resource Controller?



Answer : B

The System Resource Controller (SRC) is the main process that starts other background processes when the system boots. It is started through the /etc/rc.srcmstr script which is run by the init process. This script reads the /etc/inittab file and starts the necessary processes. Reference: IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide.


Question 7

Which user account is always UID 0 on AIX?



Answer : B

The root account is the special user in the/etc/passwdfile with the user ID (UID) of0and is commonly given the user name,root. It is not the user name that makes the root account so special, but the UID value of0. This means that any user that has a UID of0also has the same privileges as the root user. Also, the root account is always authenticated by means of the local security files.
