Answer: B
Section: (none)
Recovering from a failed ROM upgrade

A ROM upgrade can fail for a variety of reasons, such as:
A power failure, operating system lockup, or other catastrophic event occurs
during the system ROM upgrade process — When this occurs, the ROM
upgrade does not complete, and the ROM image on the target server is
corrupted.
The ROM upgrade process is interrupted for any other reason — The upgrade
process must be complete for the ROM upgrade to be successful.
! Important
In the event of an unsuccessful ROM upgrade, the server will not operate
correctly, and you must implement ROM disaster recovery procedures to regain
server functionality. If a redundant ROM image is present, disaster recovery
procedures are not necessary.
Recovering from a failed system ROM upgrade

Recovery from a system ROM upgrade failure can be accomplished using the
redundant ROM feature of a server or using ROMPaq.
Redundant ROM recovery

On servers with the redundant ROM feature, the ROM acts as two separate ROMs.
In the standard implementation, one side of the ROM contains the current ROM
version, while the other side of the ROM contains the backup version, enabling you
to switch easily to the backup version. This feature protects the previous ROM version,
even if a power failure occurs while flashing the ROM.
When the server boots, the system identifies whether the current ROM bank is
corrupt. If a corrupt ROM is detected, the system boots from the backup ROM and
alerts the user through POST that the ROM bank is corrupt.
QUESTION 27
Your customer's server failed. You have followed the HP Six Step Troubleshooting Methodology and have
determined that the problem, a defective power supply, is fixed. You recommend to your customer that they
install a redundant power supply to help prevent further downtime.
Which step of the HP Troubleshooting Methodology are you implementing?
A. Implement preventive measures

B. Develop an action plan
C. Evaluate data
D. Execute an action plan
Answer: A
Section: (none)
Step 6 — Implement preventive measures

As soon as the problem is resolved, look at opportunities to implement preventive
measures to stop the problem from occurring again, and look for other ways to
improve or increase availability.
To implement preventive measures:
1. Determine the root cause of the problem.
2. Determine proactive steps that can prevent the problem from recurring.
3. Devise a system test to verify changes and procedures before implementing
them.
4. Implement a new set of procedures, software, and administrative
maintenance to attain a higher level of availability.
5. Perform preventive maintenance, including checking for loose cables,
reseating boards, and checking for proper airflow.
6. Add fault-tolerant elements to critical subsystems, where applicable.
A carefully planned system software maintenance strategy maximizes server
stability and availability. By developing well-regulated system software baselines
for business servers, you can reduce the time required to update or troubleshoot
existing servers and ensure that new servers are set up with tested and stable
software configurations. Also, an appropriate service agreement for hardware
and software can minimize downtime.

What is a useful counter in the Processor category of Microsoft's Performance Monitor for evaluating the
processor subsystem?
A. % Processor Time
B. % Processer Tasks
C. % Cache Writes
D. % Tag Queues
Answer: A
Section: (none)
% Processor Time — Displays the percentage of time that the processor

spends executing a non-idle thread. This counter was designed as a primary
indicator of processor activity and displays the average percentage of busy
time observed during the sample interval. It is calculated by measuring the
time that the processor spends executing the thread of the idle process in
each sample interval, and subtracting that value from 100%. (Each processor
has an idle thread that consumes cycles when no other threads are ready to
run.)
This counter can be viewed as the percentage of the sample interval spent
doing useful work. If the processor time reaches 80%, you need to replace
the existing processor with a faster processor or add an additional processor.

should you do to rectify this situation?
A. Use an online spare memory.

B. Use memory RAID.
C. Use disk drives with a faster transfer rate to keep up with memory.
D. Add more memory.
Answer: D
Section: (none)
Pages/Sec — Displays the number of pages read from or written to disk to

resolve hard page faults. Hard page faults occur when a process requires
code or data that is not in its working set or elsewhere in physical memory,
and must be retrieved from disk.
This counter was designed as a primary indicator of the kinds of faults that
cause systemwide delays. It is the sum of Memory: Pages Input/sec and
Memory: Pages Output/sec. It is counted in numbers of pages, so it can be
compared to other counts of pages, such as Memory: Page Faults/sec,
without conversion.
The counter includes pages retrieved to satisfy faults in the file system cache
(usually requested by applications) and non-cached mapped memory files.
This counter displays the difference between the values observed in the last
two samples, divided by the duration of the sample interval.
On most servers, if this value is consistently greater than 5, it indicates an

excessive amount of paging. Try to identify the application that is creating
the paging condition. If this is not normal behavior for the application,
