IBM PureFlex Technical Expert V1 Sample Questions:
Question 1
Which of the following is the most compelling reason for recommending the IBM Flex System Fabric CN4093 10Gb Converged Scalable Switch?
A. Client requires a completely separate Fibre Channel SAN infrastructure
B. Client requires Fibre Channel over Ethernet connectivity from the Converged Network Adapters in their compute nodes to their top-of-rackCisco Nexus FCoE gateway
C. Client requires both Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capability in the Flex System chassis
D. Client requires both Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity from the Flex System chassis
Question 2
A client has a 100% VMware infrastructure based on blade servers which are 5 years old. Currently VMware vCenter is used for virtual machine deployment. Maintenance costs are growing so they are considering investing in a new converged infrastructure that is cost-effective. They are very interested in the IBM Flex System. Cloud features are important for them such as a self-service-portal, VM deployment, automatic placement of VMs on physical hardware with basic metering and billing of virtual machine usage. The technical expert recommends a Flex System containing a Flex System Enterprise Chassis with Intel compute nodes, Flex System V7000 Storage Node, redundant Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches.

B. Flex System Manager Basic with SmartCloud Entry
C. Flex System Manager Advanced with SmartCloud Monitoring
D. Flex System Manager Basic with SmartCloud Monitoring
Question 3
A prospect has sent out a Request for Proposal. One of the key systems management requirements is that the networking integration must be seamless with the Juniper switches already installed at the client location. Management of the 8Gb SAN and 10Gbps LAN chassis traffic should be handled by the Juniper management layer; they want to minimize the number of cables attached to the switches in the chassis. What combination of switches would the technical expert recommend in the Flex System chassis?

A. Required physical connectivity from the system to the client network for SAN, LAN and management
B. Required physical connectivity from the system to the client network for Ethernet connectivity
C. Required physical and logical design from the system to the client network for SAN, LAN and management
D. Required physical and logical design from the system to the client network for Ethernet connectivity
Question 5
Which question would help the technical expert determine whether it would be better to propose the SI4093 or the EN4093R?
A. Is Layer 3 protocol support needed within the chassis now, or will it be needed some time in the future?
B. How many uplink ports are needed between the chassis and the network core?
C. Are there plans to use FCoE?
D. How many ports of 10Gb connectivity are needed between the compute nodes and I/O modules?
