IBM IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty S1000-007 Exam Dumps: Updated Questions & Answers (June 2025)

Yes, the administrator can use themksysbimage to boot the server and perform the required maintenance tasks, but they may need to create a SPOT (Shared Product Object Tree) first. A SPOT is required in the Network Installation Manager (NIM) environment to boot a client machine from amksysbimage. The SPOT provides the necessary resources, such as the boot image and other files needed for network boot and system maintenance.References:= IBM AIX NIM mksysb Backup and Recovery Documentation

If a session hangs after entering the password, it is most likely due to problems with the authentication mechanism. This could be due to issues with the configuration of authentication services, network delays in authentication if using network-based authentication (such as LDAP), or misconfigurations in the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) settings. The other options, such as thepasswddaemon, full file systems, or network failures, are less likely to cause a login hang at this stage.References:= IBM AIX Documentation

Thelparstat -icommand provides detailed information about the logical partition, including whether it is using shared or dedicated processor resources. This command displays the partition's configuration, processor mode, and other relevant details that help the administrator determine the resource-sharing status.References:= IBM AIX Documentation

After connecting to the Hardware Management Console (HMC) via SSH, thevtmenucommand allows the administrator to open a console session to an AIX virtual machine. This command provides a menu-driven interface for accessing virtual terminal sessions of managed logical partitions.References:= IBM AIX Documentation

In AIX, theinstallpcommand is used for installing software packages, including RPM packages. If therpmcommand is not installed,installpcan be used to install the RPM Package Manager, allowing the user to manage RPM packages thereafter. The other options, such asinstfix,yum, andrpm, either serve different purposes or cannot be used ifrpmitself is missing.References:= IBM AIX Documentation

If an administrator does not receive a console login prompt after booting a system, two potential reasons could be:

Inittab entries before the console login have not completed running. The/etc/inittabfile controls the initialization process, and if prior entries are hanging or taking a long time to complete, it can prevent the console login from appearing.

There is no console entry in the/etc/inittab. The absence of a console entry means the system does not know to start a console login process, which would prevent the login prompt from appearing. Other reasons like full file systems, rezoned disks, or overwritten rootvg could cause system issues but would not specifically prevent the console login prompt from appearing if the system is running.References:= IBM AIX Documentation

Thevmstat -scommand in AIX displays various system statistics since the last reboot, including the cumulative count of paging space page outs and free frame waits. This command provides detailed system performance information, which helps in diagnosing memory and paging issues. Other commands listed, such asps guw,svmon -G, andioo -L, do not provide cumulative counts of these specific metrics.References:= IBM AIX Documentation

The account name "adm" is a standard account that comes pre-installed with AIX. It is used for system administration tasks and has specific roles and permissions associated with it. Attempting to create a new account with the same name would conflict with the existing standard account, hence it cannot be used for creating a new user account.References:= IBM AIX Documentation

Configuring both ethernet adapters as IEEE 802.3ad link aggregated withsrc_dst_portmode provides network resilience and better performance. This configuration uses link aggregation to combine the two adapters into a single logical interface, which balances the traffic load and provides redundancy in case one adapter fails.References:= IBM AIX Link Aggregation Documentation

To unconfigure a device and remove its definition from the Customized Devices object class in AIX, the commandrmdev -dl rmtOis used. The-doption indicates the removal of the device definition, and the-loption specifies the logical name of the device. This command ensures that both the device configuration and its definition are deleted from the system.References:= IBM AIX Documentation
