The correct answer is C. Log into each AIX partition. NMON is pre-installed on AIX 7.1 partitions, so no separate deployment step is needed - the administrator simply logs into each partition to use it.

Question

An administrator is tasked with deploying NMON to collect detailed performance data for multiple newly installed AIX7.1 production partitions, spread across multiple POWER7+ systems. How should the administrator implement this requirement?

Options

  • ACreate a mksysb image with NMON pre-configured
  • BConfigure the pre-installed CAS agent logging directory Use analyzer to convert the text into graphs
  • CLog into each AIX partition
  • DInstall the NMON utility using the restricted shell on the HMC Select the "Allow Performance Information

Why each option

NMON is pre-installed on AIX 7.1 partitions, so no separate deployment step is needed - the administrator simply logs into each partition to use it.

ACreate a mksysb image with NMON pre-configured

A mksysb image is used for system backup and cloning of an existing partition, not for deploying utilities to already-running production partitions.

BConfigure the pre-installed CAS agent logging directory Use analyzer to convert the text into graphs

The CAS (Common Agent Services) agent is a separate IBM management framework component and does not provide NMON functionality or serve as a substitute for it.

CLog into each AIX partitionCorrect

Starting with AIX 6.1 TL6 and AIX 7.1, NMON is included as a pre-installed utility in the base operating system. Because the tool already exists on each AIX 7.1 partition, the administrator only needs to log into each partition and execute nmon directly, with no installation or additional configuration required.

DInstall the NMON utility using the restricted shell on the HMC Select the "Allow Performance Information

The HMC restricted shell does not provide the ability to install or manage software on AIX partitions, and NMON does not need to be installed on AIX 7.1 as it is pre-included.

Concept tested: NMON pre-installation on AIX 7.1 partitions
