Section 1 – Introduction to Servers
Rank the servers in terms of scalability and performance
Develop specific customer criteria and application requirements, identify the appropriate server role (e.g., file server, mail, database, network infrastructure, virtualization)
Section 2 – Server Architecture
Assess a customer’s server environment and decide which RAID level(s) would be most appropriate.
Distinguish the key architectural and component differences of the Storage subsystem models.
Select the product that best utilizes the advantages of IBM System x technology.
Compare and contrast RAID levels and determine selection of RAID levels for a given customer requirement.
Evaluate a customer’s requirement for high availability and then select the appropriate high availability feature for a server.
Section 3 – Server Family
Distinguish the key architectural and component differences of the server models.
Distinguish between a blade and standard server environment. (Test fundamental difference between blade and standard server are I/O power and cooling restraints, etc.).
Select the appropriate server to meet customer requirements.
Section 4 – Server Options
Configure a Server to a customer’s requirements. Understand the Server’s specific standard features in order to determine what if any optional features are required.
Section 5 – Virtualization and Virtualization Technologies
Choose the appropriate technology that would be a key hardware component of the solution to meet customer needs.
Understand the customer’s deployed database environment, distinguish appropriate migration or consolidation opportunity.
Understand a customer’s virtualization needs, choose the appropriate technology that would be a key software component of the solution. (i.e. cpu consolidation; VMWare, ZEN, Microsoft’s entry).
Section 6 – External Storage
Based on requirements. Given a customer’s storage requirements, choose the approriate storage solution. (e.g., internal vs. external; fibre, SAS, Ethernet (iSCSI), also OS and applications.
Distinguish key differences of storage subsystems (e.g., capacity, relative performance, type (ie disk vs tape), disk types (SAS, SATA, FC), etc)
Select the correct storage solution based upon the customer’s requirements.
Propose an appropriate shared storage solution to meet customer requriements.
Section 7 – Rack and Power
Design proper power layout to provide power redundancy.
Select appropriate rack and power products.
Establish KVM requirements, select the appropriate Console Manager and / or breakout cables. Interpret a customer’s requriements for KVM and select the appriopriate KVM options <features?> to meet their needs.
Select an appropriate rack
Section 8 – Installation
Identify the proper tool for configuring an array on a ServeRAID, MegaRAID or DS3000/DS4000.
Select the appropriate installation method for a customer environment and configure the server to meet or exceed the requriements. (use “customization”)
Locally update BIOS, firmware level, and diagnostic version level and hard drive firmware, etc.NEW: Research the available BIOS, firmware, and diagnostic levels for a given server and features and assess whether you need to update them for the install.
Implement system deployment tools used to install server OS and software updates.
Configure IBM’s hardware management solutions (RSAII, BMC). Given an IBM Systems management option, differentiate a particular component or feature. (Can be broken down into further objectives to support add’l test items spread among domains).
Section 9 – Systems Management
Describe IBM’s hardware management solutions (RSAII, BMC)
Describe the features, functions, and capabilities of IBM Systems Director.
Section 10 – Maintainence and Troubleshooting
Use a centrally managed IBM System x tool to verify BIOS, firmware level, and diagnostic version level and update if necessary.
Perform troubleshooting on installation and configuration related problems.
Describe system deployment tools used to upgrade clients and servers (ex: RDM, SW distribution).
Identify the features and functions of UpdateXpress
Use UpdateExpress features and functions to update a System x server.
Identify some of the diagnostic features available on System x and Blade servers.
Configure ongoing updates for firmware and BIOS levels and diagnostic tests.
Identify available post sales resources and tools (if post sales equates to www.pc.ibm.com/support, etc.).
Given a set of symptoms, determine the appropriate IBM Director function to identify and resolve the problem.
Given a customer’s availability requirements, recognize the IBM’s predictive failure (PFA) technology.
Section 11 – Resources
Determine if a server option is supported on a given server. single/dual/quad CPU, maximum memory, memory interleaving, number of PCI-x slots, internal storage/integrated disk controllers, physical characteristics, redundancy/high availability features, competitive advantage
Know where to go for more information when the answer is not readily available.
