Topic #: 2
[All S1000-007 Questions]

An administrator has a test server (my host) that uses local name resolution. The administrator arrives late one morning and finds that their co-worker was asked to make some changes to the IP address of the server.

The co-worker used SMIT from the console, but then when testing from the console, the following command fails:

ping my_host

Why did the ping fail?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

When attempting to recover a corrupted file system, the administrator should first confirm that the file system is not mounted. If the file system is not mounted, then the administrator should run the fsck command with the -F (force) flag. This will force the fsck command to check the file system for errors and attempt to fix them. Reference: IBM AIX v7 Administrator Specialty Study Guide (page 8-23).

A) They didn't update /etc/hosts after mktcpip was run. That's the obvious answer here. Local name resolution requires the /etc/hosts file to be updated, and if they didn't do that, the ping would fail.

I think they should also check if the DNS entry was updated. That could be the reason for the ping failure.

I agree with Willow. Updating /etc/hosts is important for local name resolution.
