What is the
primary objective of using the Tetris “right” sizing
methodology?

Select one:

to be
able to offer a highly competitive IBM Power
System server proposal that
addresses the optimal
usage of CPU and memory resources that is cost
optimized

to help automate and reduce the lag time between the

customer’s request for a server configuration and
submitting a proposal

to be able to avoid having to run

the request through
Techline and having any seller be able to do the
configuration themselves

to be able to easily configure IBM

Power System server for
small and complex SAP scenarios for “Fighter”
configurations.

When comparing “legacy” database such as Db2, Oracle, SQL

Server or SAP ASE to SAP HANA, what is one aspect that stands
out as the
biggest difference that will impact the server
configuration?

Select one:
rd
All
the legacy databases come from 3 party software
vendors and only
SAP HANA is built by SAP


SAP HANA requires
much more memory than the legacy
databases because it is an in-memory database

The peak CPU usage of

legacy databases compared to SAP
HANA results in less cores required to be
allocate to legacy
database LPARs

Legacy
database are all supported on AIX and Linux
operating system

Which of the following sizing statements is *FALSE*?

Select one:
SAPS is a hardware-independent unit of
measurement that
describes the performance of a system configuration in an
SAP
environment

the size of the server and database is determined

by the
number of users using the application components and the
workload they
put on the system

sizing of hardware for an SAP environment

involves
matching requirements for memory, CPU, disk space, I/O
capacity, and
network bandwidth

calculation of SAPS that is

generated by the SAP 

application is the responsibility of SAP and the

hardware
server vendors

You have been given a BW sizing report to interpret the

requirements for a customer’s configuration for an IBM Power
System server. Which
of the statement is a *wrong*
interpretation of the report?

Select one:

looking at the top 10 query load
peaks, there is only one
period when the queries are 10x the other nine
periods.
We can safely assume we do not need to dedicate
sufficient number of CPU
cores in the LPAR to satisfy the
peak time

the SAPS number in the report could be used if the results

from a “Recommended” memory size is close to the
“Minimum” total memory requirement

the exact
memory (RAM) requirement can be found just
below the “Recommended” column
heading

in looking at the RSDDSTAT

Analysis Details, you noticed
that monitoring data was collected for 9 days and
had over
300 data loads and 7,000 queries, and concluded that the
report will
provide inaccurate sizing results

ALL of the following statement on IBM Power Systems are true,

*except* for:

Select one:
When calculating the total number of CPU cores, after 
factoring in Shared Pool and LPAR Correction Factor
optimization, you must also
include the core
requirements to support  VIOS
With Shared Processor Pools, you
do not have to propose
a server with as many CPU cores to meet the peak
demands
of each SAP instance LPAR
When
calculating the Shared Pool reduction in CPU core
entitlement, both production
and non-production LPARs
can be reduced by the same percentage i.e. 25%
Except for a single LPAR on a
server, there is an
optimization effect resulting from the LPAR Correction
Factor that can reduce the total number of CPU cores
required on a server

There are many advantages IBM Power System servers have

over
Intel x86 servers. All of the following statements are true
EXCEPT for
one. Select the *FALSE* statement.

Select one:

IBM Power Systems can support up

to 24TB for S/4HANA
and BW/4HANA in a virtualized environment compared to a
maximum of 3TB for BW/4HANA and 6TB for S/4HANA on
an x86 VMware vSphere
environment

IBM Power System servers can grow the LPAR memory in a

more granular level to fit the SAP HANA requirements
compared to x86 servers that
are required to add memory
in sets of 6x the memory DIMM size

There is negligible performance impact with IBM

PowerVM
hypervisor compared to approximately 14% performance
degradation with
x86 VMware hypervisor

There is no limitation to
the memory size of an IBM 

Why wouldn’t you size

the IBM Power System server for the
highest peak workload?

Select one:

With a pool of idle
CPU cores available to meet the
demands of any LPAR that exceeds its normal core
allocation, Shared Processor Pools for IBM Power
Systems can reduce the overall
need to have over
capacity of CPU cores allocated to any LPAR, thereby
reducing
cost to a customer

IBM Power Systems virtualization enables

customers to
host many LPARs on the same server. By sizing an LPAR for
the
highest peak workload, you would reduce the
performance of the other LPARs

Shared
Processor Pools is similar to Capacity on Demand
(CoD) in that, customers can
pay for additional processor
cores without having to purchase a larger IBM
Power
server. Customer will only have to pay for additional CPU
capacity during
peak workloads to keep cost down

Shared Processor Pools is an SAP only specific

feature that
enables as many SAP HANA instances to run in a single
LPAR to meet
the workload requirements during peak
times. By sharing this LPAR, CPU cores
can also be shared
between workloads and increasing CPU utilization

The following question is based on the Tetris Excel

spreadsheet
and the three sample sizing reports provided. In the BW sizing
report, the CPU requirement was 48,000 SAPS. Choose the
best answer on how this
number was derived at?

Select one:

it was derived from the memory and

disk space
requirements and number of nodes


because the workload was
classified as medium (M) and
the server’s RAM was 1TB, the value was calculated
as
24,000 (SAPS for 1TB) x 2 (factor or M workload)

because the workload was classified as medium (M) and

the
server’s RAM was 1TB, the value was calculated as
48,000 (SAPS for 1TB) x 1
(factor or M workload)

it was derived from the number of

active users of 57,
driving the peak query load volume to 544 MB/s and 11
queries/s
