QUESTION 17An existing IBM customer explains they cannot consider POWER8 because they have asmall application that requires AIX 5.2. Which of the following capabilities will allowthat application to run on a POWER8 server?

A. Little Endian support will allow AIX 5.2 to run on any POWER8 server.

C. Logical Partitions (LPARs) enable different versions of AIX to run simultaneously onone POWER8 system.

D. AIX binary compatibility allows applications created on earlier releases of AIX torun unchanged and without recompilation on POWER8.


Explanation/Reference:Reference:Support for little endian mode in the POWER8 processor enables a new generation ofapplications. While I plan to devote future blog entries to this topic, let me take amoment to address some basic facts about the technology. First, the traditional POWERoperating systems (AIX, and IBM i) are big endian and will continue to run as such onPOWER8 and future systems. Second, Linux operating systems over time will bemigrating from being big endian to little endian in an organized way that by no meanscompromises the support cycles for their existing releases. Third, as little endianoperating systems come to market, a new little endian application ecosystem will grow.Given that most applications today support one or more little endian operating systems(Windows or x86 Linux) and at least one big endian operating system (Linux on Power,


AIX, or z/OS), this ecosystem should grow quickly. Finally, little endian mode onPOWER8 is not a magic bullet: compiled x86 Linux applications will still require arecompile at a minimum because the x86 and Power instruction set architectures are stilldifferent. With this new support, Power will simplify on step in the porting process fornew applications, but to develop the whole ecosystem will take time.https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/fe313521-2e95-46f2- 817d-44a4f27eba32/entry/ power8_propels_power_systems_into_the_future?lang=en

D. Live Partition Mobility


Explanation/Reference:Reference:The Live Partition Mobility function offered on POWER6 technology-based systems isdesigned to enable the migration of an entire logical partition from one system toanother. Live Partition Mobility uses a simple and automated procedure that transfersthe configuration from source to destination without disrupting the hosted applicationsor the setup of the operating system and applications.Live Partition Mobility provides the administrator a greater control over the usage ofresources in the data center. It allows a level of reconfiguration that in the past\ was notpossible because of complexity or just because of SLAs that do not allow an applicationto be stopped for an architectural change.http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247460.pdf
