Smart Array Advanced Pack
Standard features include: RAID 6 (ADG)—RAID 6 (Advanced Data Guarding) protects against any two drive failures.
Supported with a minimum of four drives, but would have two available. Can be supported on all servers. RAID 60—Supported
with a minimum of eight drives, but would have four available. A target benefit is to split RAID across the external boxes. Can
be supported on all servers. Advanced capacity expansion (ACE)—Higher capacity migrations use capacity transformation to
remove logical drives by shrinking and then expanding them online. Mirror splitting and recombining in offline mode—This is
similar to a scaled down rollback functionality, which requires 2 hard disk drives (for example, take a RAID 1 and break into 2
RAID 0s).Drive erase—Erase a physical disk or logical volume securely. Useful to decommission, redeploy, or return hard drives
for security purposes. Performance optimization—Degraded reads and read coalescing; video on demand (VOD) performance
optimizations that improve latency while video streaming.

QUESTION 26
A complete power failure occurs during a system ROM upgrade on a ProLiant DL380 G6. What happens when the server is
restarted?
A. The server continues using the original ROM version.
B. The server stops during POST and prompts to continue the upgrade.
C. The server must be reloaded with the original ROM version.
D. The server restarts using the updated ROM version.
Answer: B
Section:
(none)
Recovering from a failed ROM upgrade
A ROM upgrade can fail for a variety of reasons, such as: A power failure, operating system lockup, or other catastrophic event
occurs during the system ROM upgrade process — When this occurs, the ROM upgrade does not complete, and the ROM image
on the target server is corrupted. The ROM upgrade process is interrupted for any other reason — The upgrade process must be
complete for the ROM upgrade to be successful.
!
Important In the event of an unsuccessful ROM upgrade, the server will not operate correctly, and you must implement ROM
disaster recovery procedures to regain server functionality. If a redundant ROM image is present, disaster recovery procedures
are not necessary.
 Recovering from a failed system ROM upgrade
 Recovery from a system ROM upgrade failure can be accomplished using the redundant ROM feature of a server or
using ROM Paq.
 Redundant ROM recovery
On servers with the redundant ROM feature, the ROM acts as two separate ROMs. In the standard implementation, one side of
the ROM contains the current ROM version, while the other side of the ROM contains the backup version, enabling you to
switch easily to the backup version. This feature protects the previous ROM version, even if a power failure occurs while flashing
the ROM. When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected,
the system boots from the backup ROM and alerts the user through POST that the ROM bank is corrupt.
QUESTION 27
Your customer's server failed. You have followed the HP Six Step Troubleshooting Methodology and have determined that the
problem, a defective power supply, is fixed. You recommend to your customer that they install a redundant power supply to help
prevent further downtime. Which step of the HP Troubleshooting Methodology are you implementing?
A.Implement preventive measures
B.Develop an action plan
C.Evaluate data
D.Execute an action plan
Answer: A
Section:
(none)
Step 6 — Implement preventive measures
As soon as the problem is resolved, look at opportunities to implement preventive measures to stop the problem from occurring
again, and look for other ways to improve or increase availability. To implement preventive measures:
1. Determine the root cause of the problem.
2. Determine proactive steps that can prevent the problem from recurring.
3. Devise a system test to verify changes and procedures before implementing them.
4. Implement a new set of procedures, software, and administrative maintenance to attain a higher level of availability.
5. Perform preventive maintenance, including checking for loose cables, reseating boards and checking for proper airflow.
6. Add fault-tolerant elements to critical subsystems, where applicable. A carefully planned system software maintenance
strategy maximizes server stability and availability. By developing well-regulated system software baselines for business servers,
you can reduce the time required to update or troubleshoot existing servers and ensure that new servers are set up with tested and
stable software configurations. Also, an appropriate service agreement for hardware and software can minimize downtime.

What is a useful counter in the Processor category of Microsoft's Performance Monitor for evaluating the processor subsystem?
A.% Processor Time
B.% Processer Tasks
C.% Cache Writes
D.% Tag Queues
Answer: A
Section:
(none)
% Processor Time — displays the percentage of time that the processor spends executing a non-idle thread. This counter was
designed as a primary indicator of processor activity and displays the average percentage of busy time observed during the
sample interval. It is calculated by measuring the time that the processor spends executing the thread of the idle process in each
sample interval, and subtracting that value from 100%. (Each processor has an idle thread that consumes cycles when no other
threads are ready to run.)This counter can be viewed as the percentage of the sample interval spent doing useful work. If the
processor time reaches 80%, you need to replace the existing processor with a faster processor or add an additional processor.

Considerations for Opteron-based Proliant servers
Remember that an important relationship exists between AMD Opteron processors and memory. DIMMs are inserted in slots
associated with specific processor sockets. Be sure to install any processors that are required to support the memory
configuration. For example, a DL385 server requires that a processor must be installed in the socket adjacent to its four DIMM
sockets. You cannot populate DIMM banks D and C until a second processor is installed in the secondary socket. The following

Which memory protection mechanism was introduced with DDR3 memory modules?
A. Memory Mirroring
B. Advanced ECC
C. Address Parity Detection
D. Advanced Memory Buffer
Answer: B
Section:
(none)
Customer choice with DDR-3
A new feature in the Proliant G6 servers is the choice between registered(RDIMM) and unregistered (UDIMM) memory. The
two types of memory cannot be mixed in the same server. UDIMMs are the lower cost option, but customers should understand
the implications of choosing one type of memory over the other. UDIMM does have ECC support, but not the Advanced Memory
Protection. If capacity is important, the customer should choose registered memory. In the HP Proliant DL370 G6 and the HP
Proliant ML370 G6, UDIMM is limited to 24GB maximum, while RDIMM is expandable to 144GB.

When evaluating the memory subsystem, the Pages/Sec counter is higher than what is acceptable. What should you do to rectify
this situation?
A. Use an online spare memory.
B. Use memory RAID.
C. Use disk drives with a faster transfer rate to keep up with memory.
D. Add more memory.
Answer: D
Section:

Pages/Sec

— Displays the number of pages read from or written to disk to resolve hard page faults. Hard page faults occur when a process
requires code or data that is not in its working set or elsewhere in physical memory, and must be retrieved from disk. This
counter was designed as a primary indicator of the kinds of faults that cause system wide delays. It is the sum of Memory: Pages
Input/sec and Memory: Pages Output/sec. It is counted in numbers of pages, so it can be compared to other counts of pages, such
as Memory: Page Faults/sec, without conversion. The counter includes pages retrieved to satisfy faults in the file system
cache(usually requested by applications) and non-cached mapped memory files. This counter displays the difference between the
values observed in the last two samples, divided by the duration of the sample interval. On most servers, if this value is
consistently greater than 5, it indicates an excessive amount of paging. Try to identify the application that is creating the paging
condition. If this is not normal behavior for the application, adding memory might increase system performance.
QUESTION 42
What is a useful counter in the Processor category of Microsoft's Performance Monitor for evaluating the processor subsystem?

% Interrupt Time
— Displays the percentage of time the processor spends receiving and servicing hardware interrupts during the sample interval.
This value is an indirect indicator of the activity of devices that generate interrupts, such as the system clock, the mouse, disk
drivers, datacommunication lines, NICs, and other peripheral devices. This counter displays the average busy time as a
percentage of the sample time.

QUESTION 48
Both your primary and backup ROM of a Proliant DL360 G6 has been corrupted. What is the best way to get the Proliant back
online?
A. Apply the system ROM recovery procedure.
B. Replace the system board and update the BIOS.
C. Reboot the Proliant. It will switch to the backup ROM and update the BIOS.
D. Use the recovery console to update the primary and the backup ROM.
Answer: A
Section:
(none)
Recovering from a failed system ROM upgrade
Recovery from a system ROM upgrade failure can be accomplished using the redundant ROM feature of a server or using ROM
Paq. Redundant ROM recovery On servers with the redundant ROM feature, the ROM acts as two separate ROMs. In the
standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM version, while the other side of the ROM contains the

backup version, enabling you to switch easily to the backup version. This feature protects the previous ROM version, even if a
power failure occurs while flashing the ROM.
When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system
boots from the backup ROM and alerts the user through POST that the ROM bank is corrupt. If RBSU is inaccessible, switching
ROM images can also be done by changing the switch settings on the system configuration switch. If both ROM images are
corrupt, use the ROM Paq recovery.
