1:	Choose all of the answers that are correct. The UGUY Board (when present) is a Single Point Of Failure in a server complex. The GSP (when present) is a Single Point Of Failure in a server complex. The HUCB Board (when present) is a Single Point Of Failure in a server complex. The SBA (when present) is a Single Point Of Failure in a server complex. The System backplane is a Single Point Of Failure in a server complex. All of the above are true. None of the above is true.
2:	Any permutation of cells in a node partition configuration is possible and supported. True or False?
3:	Given the default wiring of cells to IO cardcages in a Superdome complex, where would you locate the interface card at Slot- ID 0-1-2-8? Cabinet 0, IO Bay 1 (located in the front of the cabinet), IO Chassis 2 (right side of the cabinet), PCI slot 8. Cell 0, IO Bay 1 (located in the front of the cabinet), IO Chassis 2 (right side of the cabinet), PCI slot 8. IO Bay 0 (located in the rear of the cabinet), SBA 1 (a cell can be connected only to 1 IO chassis!), rope 2 (LBA=2), PCI slot 8. This is currently not a valid Slot-ID for a Superdome complex because it would require a 6-slot IO cardcage located in Cabinet 0, IO Bay 1 (located in the front of the cabinet). IO chassis 2 is currently not used only IO chassis 1 and 3. PCI Slot 8 being the final component.
4:	Who is allowed to change the name of an active remote partition? Choose a single statement that best answers this question. Anyone who can log in to the GSP with operator capabilities. If IPMI is not configured, anyone who can run the Partition Manager command parmodify. Usually, this is restricted to the root user . Only the root user of the affected partition. Anyone who can log in to the GSP with administrator capabilities. You cannot change the name of a remote partition because it will require a lock being set on the SCCD, which will require a reboot-for-reconfig.
5:	Before being able to create the Genesis Partition, which of the following actions must be taken. Choose all of the correct answers. Shut down all active partitions. Reboot all active partitions to single-user mode. Reset the GSP to factory default setting by pushing the button on the GSP marked "Set GSP parameters to factory defaults". Halt all active partitions ready-for-reconfig. Save the current partition configuration to the Non-Volatile Flash-card located on the GSP. Check for any Chassis Logs using the GSP command: SL (Show Logs). Log in to the GSP with administrator privileges.
