Actual exam question for IBM's S1000-007 exam

Question #: 54
Topic #: 7

An administrator finds that their development server has crashed and an error code 554 is displayed. They know that this error is typically associated with a problem executing varyon rootvg and they should boot from AIX Media to be able to perform maintenance tasks. When the administrator checks the crontab of the NIM server, they find that a mksysb image is created each night.

Can the administrator use this mlcsysb to boot the server and perform the required maintenance tasks?

AYes, but they may need to create a machine resource first.

BYes, but they may need to create a spot first.

CNo, because they need to use the original AIX installation media for that server.

DNo, because mksysb is not bootable.

Suggested Answer: A, C

The two additional commands that an AIX V7.2 administrator should run after mirroring the rootvg with the mirrorvg command are 'bosboot' and 'bootlist'. The bosboot command is used to update the boot image on all disks in the volume group, and the bootlist command is used to set the boot order for the system. These commands are available on IBM AIX v7 systems and are documented in the IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide.
