CAT-280 Sample Questions Answers

Add the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses of any server or device that is added to the backbone network through DHCP and that should not be discovered by the BFC.

Enable the BFC to power control grid servers by Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).

Add the backbone MAC addresses of all grid servers that should be part of this BFC.

Enable the MAC addresses of all grid servers to be discovered using IPMI.

You can do nothing in this case, because CA AppLogic is unable to use storage outside the internal IP SAN.

Use network cards on the private network with iSCSI support which will automatically initiate connections to the SAN on boot.

Create a custom appliance that will mount a remote share using Network File System (NFS) through a combination of NASR and OUT appliances.

Install a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) on each server, plug into the fiber channel network, mount the volume on grid nodes, and enable CA AppLogic to manage it.

For servers that have not yet had their BIOS configured

CA AppLogic virtualizes direct access to peripheral devices, such as tape drives.

For each type of virtual resource, there are several scalable, system wide resource pools.

CA AppLogic virtualizes access to two types of peripheral devices: block storage devices and serial ports.

CA AppLogic abstracts hardware into three different types of virtual resources: virtual volumes, virtual network interfaces, and compute.

In System Security, set AC power recovery to OFF.

On the power controller setup screen, set IPMI over LAN to off.

In the boot settings, enable the backbone NIC to boot before the disk.

Enable backbone Network Interface Cards (NICs) to PXE boot in the BIOS.

Directly provision, start, stop, destroy, and migrate applications.

Remove failed servers from grids and quarantine them until they are diagnosed and repaired.

Federate Web applications to more quickly leverage partner-dependent business opportunities.

Add a new server to the Backbone Fabric Controller (BFC) by merely configuring its basic input/output system (BIOS) and powering it on.

Reboot the server.

Restart the grid controller.

Re-install the grid controller.

Remove and remount the server.
