Hi Friends, recently I have attended one Interview and could not answer these questions.Please HELP me with your answers.

Q.1)In VxVM,while creating a filesystem,if /usr is placed under Slice 0 instead of Slice 6, then what will you do ?

How do you bring it back to the Slice 6?


Q.2) When you deport a diskgroup from the source target and Import it at the destination target,then the destination target does not accept the HOST ID of that disk,then what will you do?

Q.3) Suppose NIC card was taken out from V440 server and inserted at M5000 server,but then the NIC card is not plumbing on the M5000 server then what will you do ?

Q.4)In JUMPSTART,if it is new server then how do you find the MAC address?




Regards,
Aparna.

Not meaning to sound nasty here, but if you can't answer the questions, you're not qualified to have the job. Without the knowledge, you will not do well. Us giving you these answers isn't the way to proceed...even if you bluff your way into the job, it will be VERY clear, VERY quickly, that you can't perform the tasks which you were hired to do. What will you do then????

Many of your posts are along a similar vein.

Learn the systems. Get the knowledge...read, experiment...become QUALIFIED, and you won't have to ask ANYONE for answers.

From my understanding, Veritas builds the volume on whatever disk space the disk group allows it. There is not really a way to specify where on the disk veritas places data. If you want to have the disk group on slice 6, (no idea why this would matter), you would basically migrate the data off, remove the disk from the disk group and then go into fdisk allocate all the filespace to slice 6 and then add it back in. If you aren't talking veritas, and want to do it with a ufs filesystem, you would boot off of cdrom or net (boot net -s) so the disk is not mounted, create where you want the filesystem to be, copy/move the data over, modify the /etc/vfstab where ever your / filesystem is located to point to the new location.

I'm assuming you are still talking Veritas, I normally do it under vxdiskadm and when it says the HOST ID is different I import anyway. You can also do it command line with the vxdg -Cf import option to force import.
Determine what network cards are available (name may have changed, you were expecting something like ce1 and it went to ce3) command to show interfaces --> prtpicl -c network -v | egrep 'name|instance'
The yellow sheet that comes with the new servers has the MAC address, you can also get the MAC when it is booting, it may also show up under the banner command (the company I work for changes banner so I've never used this), you can also go to the OK prompt and issue a .idprom command to obtain it.

I'm providing answers in the hope he really wants to know to expand knowledge or to help someone else that has similar questions. Interviewing people is interesting, technical expertise is only part of the interview, if the guy knows his stuff but manages to insult, criticize, or offend the interviewer then they probably won't get the job either. I work at a mixed environment company where we lump all the Solaris, AIX, and Linux servers under one group, on-call is shared and if we are hiring for a primarily AIX position and they say they can't stand Linux or Solaris in the job interview then it weakens our desire to hire them. If they say they are more familiar with AIX but are willing to learn it's more positive.

I totally agree with you, which is why I answered as I did.

Giving answers to pass an interview is harmful to a candidate. If they get the job because they talked a good act, it's painfully obvious they can't perform as soon as they start work. Even worse, though, is the fact that the candidate wasn't HONEST about their abilities. Saying "I don't know much about Solaris, but in Linux I'd do xxxx. Would love to learn Solaris though...", is a much better answer. Based on this and the OP's other threads, it appears as if they're gathering information in order to pass an interview, without having the knowledge to do the job afterwards.
