A customer will be consolidating a number of IBM i and AIX partitions from several older servers onto an existing S824 These partitions are parts of various operating groups within the customer and require connectivity to various private networks and network redundancy. The server utilizes SAN Storage and dual VIO Server partitions.

Which solution satisfies the customer's requirements?

A. Add two additional VIO Server partitions each with a quad port Ethernet card. Create an SEA in VIO Server to each port of the Ethernet card. Configure virtual Ethernet connections to the VIO Server partitions for each SEA with one flagged priority

B. Utilize two of the IBM i Partitions to bridge to the outside Attach a quad port Ethernet IOA to each partition and bridge the ports lo internal VLANs needed by the guest partitions.

C. Add two SR-IOV capable Ethernet adapters. Allocate each of them to the partitions and create the connections to the correct VLANs as needed.

D. In the existing VIO Server partitions, add a quad port Ethernet card. Create an SEA in VIOS to each port of the Ethernet card. Configure virtual Ethernet connections to the VIO Server partitions for each SEA with one flagged priority.

B. Support for the Hadoop File Placement Optimizer

C. Support for IBM Elastic Storage

D. Built-in High Speed Cluster Interconnect

An AIX customer plans to boot their LPARs from the SAN and wants the ability to easily update multipathing software in their VIO Server clients.

Which disk option should be used for their rootvg?

A. NPIV
