IBM High Availability for AIX - Technical Support and Administration -v2 Sample Questions:
An active, active (mutual takeover) 2-node PowerHA cluster is currently up and stable. Both nodes are located in separate buildings, one kilometer apart. Node2 in SiteB suddenly powers off. On reboot of the failed node, the cluster administrator checks the error log and discovers the node had been halted. The network team confirms there was a temporary loss of the IP network between sites.
Why did Node2 halt?
- A. On loss of the IP network the grpsvcs daemon crashed, causing Node2 to halt.
- B. Node2 was automatically set to halt on loss of the IP network.
- C. The cluster became partitioned. On recovery of the IP network, Node1 sent a halt signal to Node2.
- D. On loss of the IP network, Node1 sent a halt signal to Node2 via the disk heartbeat network.
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
What happens when an administrator adds a resource group to a cluster using DARE?
- A. Reconfig_resource events and reconfig_topology events occur
- B. Node_down and node_up events occur sequentially on each node in the cluster.
- C. Existing resource groups are temporarily offline.
- D. All heartbeat networks are temporarily down.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
What cluster service settings can be defined in SMIT on one node of a cluster and automatically updated on all other nodes?
- A. Startup Cluster Information Daemon
- B. BROADCAST message at startup
- C. Start HACMP at system restart
- D. Verify Cluster Prior to Startup
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
