IBM PureFlex Technical Expert V1 Sample Questions:

1.
Based on the client requirements, what PureFlex advantages should be emphasized to this client?

A) The PureFlex solution only supports 16Gbps Fibre Channel uplinks thus a Fibre Channel link between datacenters is needed if replicatingto the XIV Gen3 is required.
B) The PureFlex solution supports 1Gbps and 10Gbps uplinks. By using external storage virtualization and remote mirror feature the clientcould implement a high-availability solution using FCoE, with integrated management, while leveraging their existing storage systems.
C) The PureFlex solution supports 1Gbps and 10Gbps uplinks. Using the FSM to virtualize the XIV and remote mirror feature the client couldimplement a high-availability solution using FCoE, with integrated management, while leveraging their existing storage systems.
D) The PureFlex solution does not support FCoE with 1Gbps uplinks. FCoE is only supported when using 10Gbps uplinks thus a Fibre Channellink between datacenters is needed only if replicating to the XIV Gen3 is required.

2. A client wants to use the provisioning features of the FSM to deploy Virtual Machines on their p260 compute nodes. They want to use the Storage Copy Services in the Flex System V7000 Storage Node to achieve this. In this configuration where would the appliance image repository be configured?

A) Virtual I/O Server
B) FSM
C) SmartCloud Entry
D) NIM Server

3. 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 a completely separate Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure
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 both Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capability in the Flex System chassis

4. A cost conscious client wants to purchase a two POWER node PureFlex solution. Each node will have 16 cores, two AIX LPARs, and they need four ports of FCoE communications. A critical requirement is there can be no single point of failure. Which solution will meet all the client's requirements?

A) p270
B) p460
C) p24L
D) p260

5. A client has a 100% VMware infrastructure based on blade servers which are 5 years old. Currently VMware vCenter is used for virtual machine deployment. Maintenance costs are growing so they are considering investing in a new converged infrastructure that is cost-effective. They are very interested in the IBM Flex System. Cloud features are important for them such as a self-service-portal, VM deployment, automatic placement of VMs on physical hardware with basic metering and billing of virtual machine usage. The technical expert recommends a Flex System containing a Flex System Enterprise Chassis with Intel compute nodes, Flex System V7000 Storage Node, redundant Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches.
What additional items should be included?

A) Flex System Manager Advanced with SmartCloud Monitoring
B) Flex System Manager Basic with SmartCloud Entry
C) Flex System Manager Basic with SmartCloud Monitoring
D) Flex System Manager Advanced with SmartCloud Entry
