In an environment with one IBM z14 and one z/OS LPAR, what component would contribute to higher availability?

A. Dual HMC setup

B. Three Phase Line cord

C. Parallel Sysplex

D. RAIM Memory technology

What can a general purpose CP on the LinuxONE Rockhopper II or Emperor II be used for?

A. IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator (IDAA)

B. Geographically Dispersed Parallel Sysplex (GDPS)

D. Dynamic Provision Manager (DPM)

A client with a fully depreciated production zBC12 would like to upgrade to a z14 ZR1 of equal capacity. At the same time, they would complete a data center move to a location across the country requiring minimal downtime.

Which of the following would typically be the most economical way to migrate them from the zBC12 to the z14 ZR1, accommodating the data center move while providing the least amount of downtime?

A. Purchase a net new z14 ZR1 for installation in the new data center.

B. MES the zBC12 to a z14 ZR1 located in the new data center.

C. MES zBC12 to z14 ZR1 in the current location; then move the z14 ZR1 to the new location.

D. Perform a Migration Offering from zBC12 to the z14 ZR1 in the new data center.

A customer is running a z14-702 with two zIIPs. They started noticing that the zIIP utilization during peak hours was averaging about 85% due to a new Java application. After examining RMF, they realized that during these periods, much zIIP eligible work was overflowing to the general purpose CPs, causing them to also run over 90% for considerable periods of time.

They have a limited budget for new equipment. After reading about Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT), they think they can solve their problem by turning SMT on instead of purchasing either another GP, a zAAP, or a third zIIP in order to get more throughput.

What must they consider before making the decision to turn on SMT or purchasing another processor?

A. Adding a third General Purpose processor and a zIIP is the only solution that will eliminate both problems.

B. Adding a zIIP cannot be done because a 702 with two General Purpose CPs can only have two zIIP Processors.

C. If there is a large amount of Java work, adding a zAAP would substantially reduce the zIIP utilization and free up the zIIPs to handle workloads that are specifically zIIP eligible.

D. Turning on SMT, while providing more zIIP throughput, could affect the zIIP intensive workloads performance negatively.

A customer is interested in IBM LinuxONE as a platform for their new cloud-based application infrastructure. A sizing exercise has shown that one LinuxONE Emperor II machine (in LM2 configuration) is sufficient for their expected workload, but the customer is concerned about putting all the application workload on a single frame.

Which set of LinuxONE features can the technical specialist remind the customer about, to help to relieve their concern?

A. RAIM memory, Capacity on Demand, SIMD

B. Processor sparing, I/O redundancy, RAIM memory

C. Processor sparing, SIMD, CPACF

D. CPACF, I/O redundancy, Capacity on Demand

A client wants to add the Live Guest Relocation (LGR) feature to their IBM Z environment. Which of the following actions supports this requirement?

A. Enabling Single System Image (SSI) on z/OS v2.3 or newer

B. Applying the latest APAR to z/VM v5.4

C. Enabling Security Server on z/OS

D. Enabling Single System Image (SSI) on z/VM v6.4 or newer

A z13s customer is excited about the prospect of acquiring a z14 ZR1. They are very interested in the 16U Reserved component space within the z14 ZR1 CPC.

Which of the following is a limiting factor when proposing the 16U Reserved feature?

A. A maximum of two I/O drawers can be ordered.

B. The space is reserved for the IBM DS8882F.

C. Top Exit I/O cannot be ordered.

D. No three phase power is available.

A customer runs production on one z14, with a zEC12 as a backup. The customer is planning a 50% capacity increase on both machines.

Which of the following will satisfy the requirement?

A. A z14 upgrade and CBU for the zEC12.

B. Upgrade the z14 and migrate the zEC12 to a new z14 with a CBU feature.

C. A z14 upgrade and an equivalent zEC12 capacity upgrade for the backup situation.

D. A z14 upgrade and On/Off CoD for the zEC12.

A customer wants to replace two zEC12 processors in different locations with two z14 processors. The

customer has the following requirements:

Full redundancy within a z14 and in case of loss of one CPC.

Run 12 z/OS LPARs on each CPC.

Encryption requirements:

Some applications need SSL acceleration.

EP11 must be supported.

Pervasive Encryption must be supported.

Which of the following is the minimum hardware needed for each z14 to support the requirements?

A. 4 zHyperlink Express Ports, 8 Crypto Express 6S Features, CPACF enabled.

B. 4 Crypto Express 6S Features, CPACF enabled.

C. 2 TKEs, 6 Crypto Express 6S Features, CPACF enabled.

D. 8 Crypto Express 6S Features, CPACF enabled.

An account you cover has received media attention. A disgruntled administrator had root access to a Linux x86 financial server, altered the boot process, and deactivated all of the security measures. The result was that highly sensitive data was stolen.

The account security directory would like to meet with you to determine if IBM Z has a solution that would prevent this from happening again.

Which IBM Z solution will prevent this type of breach?

A. Activate Integrated Cryptographic Service Facility (ICSF) along with the secure crypto coprocessor using AES keys.

B. Enable Pervasive Encryption to protect system data sets.

C. Implement the combination of RACF, z/VM, and zSecure products.

D. Use Secure Service Container to build, deploy, and manage a systems appliance.
