LPI 201-450 Exam - Topic 2 Question 56 Discussion

Actual exam question for LPI's 201-450 exam

Question #: 56
Topic #: 2

A web application server contains 64GB of RAM and two swap partitions on normal hard disk drives, each with a size of 64 GB. Within the last month, the average number of user sessions on this server has grown by 20 percent. At the same time, the average usage of RAM increased from 65 to 75 percent, while the swap space is almost not used at all. It is expected that the number of user sessions will continue to increase by about 15 to 20 percent each month. Which of the following reactions would be appropriate in response to these observations? (Choose two.)

ADelay any hardware upgrade until there is a significant consumption of swap space to ensure an efficient usage of the available hardware

BCreate a RAID 1 device on the two swap partitions to avoid data loss in case swap space has to be used in the future

CConsider the installation of an additional application server to distribute the load if the expected growth continues over several months

DMove the web application's scripts and content a ram disk in order to ensure fast access and to avoid the need for swap space

EUpdate the hardware to increase the amount of available RAM to avoid using swap space

Moving scripts to a RAM disk could speed things up for sure!

Wait, why are we not using swap space at all? That seems odd.

Adding another server could really help with the load.

I think we should wait until swap space is actually used.

Sounds like a hardware upgrade is needed soon!

I feel like we should definitely consider upgrading the RAM (option E) since the usage is already high, but I wonder if we should also think about load balancing.

I'm a bit confused about whether moving scripts to a RAM disk (option D) is really necessary if swap isn't being used much.

I think option C makes sense since the user sessions are expected to keep increasing. We practiced a similar scenario in class.

I remember we discussed the importance of monitoring swap space usage, but I'm not sure if we should wait for it to fill up before upgrading.

I've got this one! The answer is definitely A - "none". That's the way to completely exclude all log messages from a given logging facility. Easy peasy!

I remember something about how the enumeration process works through StoreFront, but I'm not entirely sure which site handles the application launch.
