When attempting to recover a corrupted file system an administrator runs the command fsck against the unmounted file system and receives the following error:

After confirming that the file system is not mounted, what should the administrator do next?
Answer : B
When attempting to recover a corrupted file system, the administrator should first confirm that the file system is not mounted. If the file system is not mounted, then the administrator should run the fsck command with the -F (force) flag. This will force the fsck command to check the file system for errors and attempt to fix them. Reference: IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide (page 8-23).
One morning the application owner needed to urgently transfer some files using FTP from Development Dev_DB_Server to the production server - DB_Server, but is receiving the following error:
connect: Connection refused
Note: DB_Server-cannot be shutdown during business hours.
Checking the setup of DB_Serrver, the administrator finds the following entries in /etc/inetd.conf

The administrator also, finds the file /etc/ftpaccess . ctl doesn't exit.
Which two methods can be used to allow files to be transferred to DB Server using FTP?
Answer : B, D
An administrator is tasked with installing an open source package. They are told to use the IBM AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications because the organization wants to be able to open tickets with IBM support.
What should the administrator tell the requester?
Answer : B
'IBM provides extended support for open source software installed on AIX systems. The customer must verify entitlement for such packages and must contact IBM Support to open a ticket.' Therefore, the administrator should tell the requester that IBM offers extended support for open source software, but they need to verify entitlement before they can open a ticket with IBM Support.
An administrator starts an AIX LPAR and wants to monitor the boot process using the HMC console.
Which command in HMC SSH session lists all managed systems, LPARs on them and offers an easy way to open a console window to an AIX LPAR?
Answer : C
According to the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide, the lssyscfg command is used to display detailed information about a system configuration. It can also be used to open a virtual terminal session to an AIX LPAR.
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?
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.'
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?
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).
Which logical volume Mirror Write Consistency policy should an AIX V7.2 administrator use to achieve the data consistency between mirrors?
Answer : C
The superstrict mirror write consistency policy is the most reliable policy for achieving data consistency between mirrors in AIX V7.2. This policy will maintain the data consistency between mirrors by writing the data to both mirrors before the write operation is acknowledged as complete. Reference: IBM AIX v7 Administration Specialty Study Guide (section 10.6.2, pp. 651-652).
