IBM PureFlex Technical Expert V1 Sample Questions:

1. A client has recently installed a Storwize V7000 storage system which they plan to connect to an IBM Flex solution.
However, they are experiencing some performance concerns with the existing installed storage and this is becoming a barrier to the solution sale.
The technical expert is provided with the following information and asked to suggest a possible cause and a solution while on site at the meeting.
Storage:
-Client is an ISP and offers "storage tiers of service" to their clients -Storwize V7000 with several disk expansion trays attached -Mixture of 200 GB SSD, 600 GB 10k rpm SAS drives and 2 TB NL-SAS drives installed -SSD and SAS drives in a single pool; Easy Tier enabled -NL-SAS drives in separate disk pool -Hosts are VMware Virtual machines.. (no applications mentioned) -Latency is high when viewed from the Storwize V7000 onboard performance monitor -Performance Monitor, STAT and Mon traces are provided in the exhibit




IBM 000-784 Exam
What course of action should the technical expert suggest given this initial information?

A) Disk contention problems on one or both disk pools
B) Node Canisters latency figures indicate they are faulty and must be replaced
C) The current Easy Tier solution does not have enough SSD capacity; add SSD drives as advised by the STAT tool
D) Enable Easy Tier on the NL-SAS disk pool to reduce latency

2. IBM SmartCloud Entry provides multi-tenancy attributes through the use of:

A) Projects to provide group membership to images and instances that only members of the project can see and manage.
B) Roles of owner, user and viewer to manage images and instances.
C) Accounts for enabling the billing operation including a balance, account balance threshold, account members and invoices.
D) The ability to create multiple configurations of a virtual image which can exist in more than one project.

3. A client has purchased a Flex System with a Flex System Manager (FSM) and a p260 node. Which of the following is the most cost-effective procedure to install the VIO server?

A) Copy the VIO ISO images onto the FSM and use the installios command
B) Engage Lab Services to complete the installation
C) Launch the Remote Control from the FSM and remote mount the VIO ISO images from your workstation
D) Use the external USB DVD RAM that IBM delivers with a Flex System

4. Which of the following is the most compelling reason for recommending the IBM Flex System Fabric CN4093 10Gb Converged Scalable Switch?

A) Client requires both Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity from the Flex System chassis
B) Client requires both Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capability in the Flex System chassis
C) Client requires Fibre Channel over Ethernet connectivity from the Converged Network Adapters in their compute nodes to their top-of-rackCisco Nexus FCoE gateway
D) Client requires a completely separate Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure

5. A client has expressed a desire to utilize an existing current model HMC to manage Power compute nodes in a Flex Chassis which also contains x86 compute nodes and an IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node. The client also stated the ability to have SAN zones automatically built when creating storage volumes is more important in this environment. How should a technical expert respond to these statements?

A) Utilize only an FSM to manage the entire environment.
B) Use an FSM and an HMC to manage the individual tasks.
C) Install the IBM Network Advisor Power Compute Node plugin into the HMC.
D) An HMC used with IBM Network Advisor will satisfy both requirements.
