Which two statements are true about the use of Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) on an X5 or X6 Database Machine?
Correct Answer: A,C
Explanation/Reference: A: IPMI - short for Intelligent Platform Management Interface - is an interface standard that allows remote management of a server from another using standardized interface. The servers in the Exadata Database Machine follow that. It's not an Exadata command but rather a general Linux one. To power on a cell or database server, issue this from another server: # ipmitool -H prolcel01-ilom -U root chassis power on To stop a server, use the shutdown command. To stop immediately and keep it down, i.e. not reboot, execute:# shutdown -h -y now C: Like the KCS interface, the SSIF Interface is only specified as a 'Single Threaded Interface' for standard IPMI commands. That is, the BMC implementation is not expected to process more than one IPMI request at a time. While an implementation is allowed to have a degree of 'command queuing', for standard IPMI messages the SSIF lacks a 'Seq' field that software can use to match up particular instances of requests with responses.

1z0-070 Exam Question 103
Which three statements are true about the CELLCLI command?
Correct Answer: B,D,E
The CellCLI utility supports command-line history. Each Exadata Storage cell can be monitored, configured, and maintained using the cellcli command line interface. The dcli utility facilitates centralized management across an Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software realm by automating the execution of CellCLI commands on a set of cells and returning the output to the centralized management location where the dcli utility was run.
