Cloud Computing Management Questions
-
all nodes resides on the same IP subnet
-
a Quorum server for cluster reconfiguration
-
a heart beat for the cluster
-
each node runs its own operationg system
B
Correct answer
Explanation
A Quorum server is optional but recommended for Serviceguard clusters to prevent split-brain scenarios during network partitions. The other options are required: nodes must be on the same IP subnet for heartbeat communication, heartbeats are mandatory for cluster operation, and each node must run its own OS instance (which is standard, not optional).
-
on only on node
-
all nodes
-
on atleast two nodes
-
optinal for cluster less than four nodes
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The cmcld (cluster membership daemon) must run on all nodes in a Serviceguard cluster. It monitors node status, communicates membership changes, and ensures all nodes agree on cluster composition. Running it only on some nodes would break cluster integrity and communication.
-
Installing the iProcess Engine on one server that uses multiple database instances
-
Installing the iProcess Engine on multiple servers that use one same database instance
-
Installing the iProcess Engine on multiple servers that use multiple database instances
-
All of above
B
Correct answer
Explanation
A node cluster architecture in iProcess involves multiple iProcess Engine server instances (nodes) sharing a single database instance. This allows for load balancing and high availability across multiple physical or virtual servers.

Data
-
None
B
Correct answer
Explanation
In Cognos 8 three-tier architecture, the Applications tier contains the Cognos BI server components including dispatchers (handle requests) and Content Manager (manages content store). Web tier is for web servers, Data tier for databases.
-
a. Central point from which to manage the domain.
-
b. Distributed control over a domain
-
c. All the above
-
d. None of the above
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The Administration Server acts as the central control point for managing the entire WebLogic domain - you configure, monitor, and manage all resources from it. 'Distributed control' would imply multiple points of control, which contradicts the centralized administration model. The Administration Server provides centralized, not distributed, control.
-
a. Central point from which to manage the domain.
-
b. Distributed control over a domain.
-
c. All the above
-
d. None of the above
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The Administration Server in a WebLogic domain serves as the central administrative hub configuration point from which you configure, monitor, and manage all resources in the domain.
-
a. Central point from which to manage the domain.
-
b. Distributed control over a domain.
-
c. All the above
-
d. None of the above
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The Administration Server acts as the central management point for a WebLogic domain, controlling configuration and monitoring. It's not a distributed control system - that's what managed servers provide. Options C and D are incorrect because only A describes the Administration Server's role.
-
Service components are spread over several servers
-
The service uses unmanaged code
-
You have been unable to install the service manually
-
You want to distribute the service
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Setup projects (.msi or Setup.exe) are primarily used to distribute applications and services across multiple machines. While you can install services manually using installutil, a setup project provides a user-friendly installation wizard and handles registration automatically. This is essential when deploying to production servers or customer environments.
-
Extensible Service Oriented Architecture
-
Extensible Schema of Application
-
Enterprise Schema Oriented Application
-
enterprise Service Oriented Architecture
D
Correct answer
Explanation
eSOA stands for Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture, which is SAP's approach to service-oriented architecture for building flexible, reusable business services. The term emphasizes enterprise-grade services that can be orchestrated across applications.
-
Security management
-
Transaction management
-
Load balancing
-
Fault tolerance
A,B
Correct answer
Explanation
EJB containers provide core enterprise services: security management for authentication/authorization and transaction management for JTA support. Load balancing and fault tolerance are not part of the standard EJB container services.
-
Life cycle management
-
Security
-
Deployment
-
All the above
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Web containers provide comprehensive services including lifecycle management (creating/destroying components), security (authentication/authorization), and deployment handling. These are core responsibilities of servlet/JSP containers.
-
redo transport service,log applyservice,Role transition
-
log applyservice,Role transition,Failover service
-
redo transport service,Role transition,Failover service
-
redo transport service,log applyservice,Failover service
A
Correct answer
Explanation
The three core components of Oracle Data Guard are Redo Transport Services (transferring redo data), Apply Services (applying redo data to standby databases), and Role Transitions (switchover and failover). Failover is a specific transition event, not an independent service category like redo transport or apply services.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
SMP (Service Management Platform) has the ability to automate provisioning and activation of services on any service delivery platform. FA, SGI, and TITAN are different systems with other functions.
-
rule-based application that runs in background on the operating system
-
rule-based application deployed and running on a cluster
-
rule-based application that triggers no rules
-
dynamically generated web service that runs for a ruleset
D
Correct answer
Explanation
A hosted transparent decision service is a dynamically generated web service that exposes a ruleset for execution, allowing remote clients to invoke business rules without needing to know the implementation details. It is 'transparent' because the client sees only the service interface, not the underlying rule engine. It is not a background process or cluster deployment.
-
Client server architecture
-
Distributed architecture
-
Stand alone applications
-
3 Tier applications
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Standalone applications running on a single machine without network/server components have minimal performance testing scope. The other options (client-server, distributed, 3-tier) all involve multiple components, network communication, and concurrent users - key aspects for performance testing.
