A server administrator is replacing a faulty PSU. The management team has asked for a solution that prevents further downtime in the future. Which of the following can the server administrator implement?
A faulty PSU needs replacement, and the management team wants a solution to prevent future downtime.
Solution:Implementredundancy(Option D):
Redundant power supplies ensure that if one fails, the other takes over seamlessly.
Separate circuits, load balancing, and server monitoring are important but do not directly prevent PSU failures.
An administrator received an alert that a backup job has been unsuccessful in the previous three attempts. The administrator discovers the issue occurred while backing up a user's data on a network share. Which of the following actions would be best to allow the job to complete successfully?
Enabling open file backups allows the backup software to copy files that are currently open or in use by applications. This ensures that even if a file is actively being modified during the backup process, it will still be included in the backup.
Advantages:
Ensures consistency of backed-up data, especially for files that are frequently accessed or modified.
Prevents data loss due to files being skipped during backup.

A technician replaces a single faulted disk in the following array RAID 10, Four 15K SAS HDD The technician replaces it from a disk in spare parts, and the array rebuilds the data in a few minutes. After the array rebuild is complete, the system reports the IOPS on the disk array have dropped by almost 60% Which of the following should the technician investigate first?
In RAID 10 arrays, disk performance is crucial, especially if they are high-speed 15K RPM SAS HDDs, as each disk in the array is part of a mirrored pair that also stripes data with another pair. When replacing a disk, it's essential that the new disk matches the specifications of the others, especially in terms of rotational speed (RPM). If the replaced disk is slower, it can significantly reduce the Input/Output operations per second (IOPS) of the entire array. This is because all disks need to work in tandem, and the slowest disk can become a bottleneck. Thus, checking the RPM of the newly replaced disk is a sensible first step to ensure it matches the performance of the other disks in the array.
A systems administrator is setting up a server farm for a new company. The company has a public range of IP addresses and uses the addresses internally. Which of the following IP addresses best fits this scenario?
The IP address 216.176.128.10 falls within the range of public IP addresses, which are routable over the Internet. Since the company is using a public range of IP addresses internally, this address is suitable for the scenario. In contrast, 10.3.7.27 and 192.168.7.1 are private IP addresses typically used within internal networks and not routable on the public Internet. 127.0.0.1 is known as the loopback address, used by a computer to communicate with itself and not suitable for assigning to devices within a network.
A systems administrator is provisioning a large number of virtual Linux machines that will be configured identically. The administrator would like to configure the machines quickly and easily but does not have access to an automation/orchestration platform. Additionally, the administrator would like to set up a system that can be used in the future, even on newer versions of the OS. Which of the following will best meet the administrator's requirements?
Why other options are less ideal:
VM Template (A):Templates are useful for replicating the OS & some software, but might not capture all configurations.
Manual Configuration (C):Time-consuming and prone to errors when replicating across many servers.
Copy/Paste via SSH (D):Tedious, error-prone, and requires servers to be online before configuration.
Cloning (E):Can work but has version compatibility risks if the OS of the cloned server isn't identical to the new ones.
