S1000-007 Sample Questions Answers

The mkps command creates a paging space and activates it when the system is rebooted. This is explained in the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide, under the topic "Creating and Activating a Paging Space".

CPU Entitlement is a setting in the LPAR profile that defines the amount of guaranteed CPU time allocated to an LPAR. This setting is important for workloads that require a steady level of performance, as it guarantees that the LPAR will always have access to a certain percentage of the processing power on the managed system. Reference: IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide.

 The /etc/hosts file is used by the system for local name resolution on the server, so if the IP address of the server has been changed, but the /etc/hosts entry has not been updated, the ping command will fail. This is explained in the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide, under the topic "Using the mktcpip Command".

Geographic Logical Volume Manager (GLVM) is an AIX feature that allows data to be mirrored to a remote site [1][2], enabling disaster recovery and improved data availability. GLVM creates a single, unified view of the data across multiple sites, allowing the data to be managed and accessed as if it was all stored in one location. Reference: IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide, page 546.

This is the default primary group for all newly created AIX user accounts. From the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide: "By default, all new user accounts are assigned to the 'users' primary group."

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.

The "lslpp" command can be used to display information about filesets installed on an AIX system. To determine which files are included in the "useful_fileset" fileset, the administrator can run the following command:

lslpp -f useful_fileset

This command will display detailed information about the "useful_fileset" fileset, including a list of the files that are included in the fileset. This information can be useful for verifying the installation of the fileset and for troubleshooting problems that may be related to the fileset.

The administrator has failed to run the cfgmgr command before rebooting the systems. Running the cfgmgr command before rebooting a system is important, as it ensures that any changes made to the configuration are written to the system, otherwise the changes may be lost when the system is rebooted. Other commands such as chdev and route add are not related to this issue and will not solve the problem.

For more information on the cfgmgr command, please refer to the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide, page 10-7. The guide can be found here: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_72/cfgmgmt/cfgmgr_command.htm.

Devices that are connected to the system can be in one of four states.

Devices that are connected to the system can be in one of the following states:

Item

Description

Undefined

The device is unknown to the system.

Defined

Specific information about the device is recorded in the customized database, but it is unavailable to the system.

Available

A defined device is coupled to the operating system, or the defined device is configured.

Stopped

The device is unavailable but remains known by its device driver.

If a tty device and a printer alternately use the same tty connector, both a tty device and a printer are defined on the same parent and port in the device configuration database. Only one of these devices can be configured at a time. When the tty connector is configured, the printer specific setup information is retained until it is configured again. The device is not removed; it is in the defined state. Maintaining a device in defined state retains customized information for a device that is not currently in use, either before it is first made available or while it is temporarily removed from the system.

If a device driver exists for a device, the device can be made available through the device driver.
