SK0-005 Question #47: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A critical server has stopped responding in a distant location where there are no remote technicians to check the condition of the server. Which of the following can assist in checking the condition of the server? (Choose two.)

Options

• AVNC
• BBootstrap protocol
• CiDRAC
• DRemote desktop protocol
• ESSH
• FILO

Explanation

To check the condition of a non-responsive server in a distant location without on-site technicians, Integrated Lights-Out (ILO) provides out-of-band hardware management, while SSH can be used for OS-level diagnostics if the network stack is still functional.

Common mistakes.

• A. VNC (Virtual Network Computing) requires a functional graphical desktop environment on the server and is typically ineffective if the OS has stopped responding.
• B. Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is used for network booting and IP address assignment, not for checking the condition of an operational or non-responsive server.
• C. iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller) serves the same purpose as ILO for Dell servers, providing out-of-band management, but only two options should be chosen, and ILO (F) is already selected as a valid representative of this technology.
• D. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) relies on the server's graphical user interface and associated services being fully operational, making it unsuitable for a server that has stopped responding.
