Question 10
An infrastructure administrator receives the following incident: A data center declares a 32-node training cluster ready because every power LED is green, although no node-to-node connectivity or GPU enumeration was tested. Which measured result most directly proves that this specific problem is resolved?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the measurable acceptance result for the described case: All designated GPUs enumerate, fabric paths pass defined connectivity probes, and a representative collective workload completes without hardware alerts. It validates the corrective operation (Use a staged acceptance sequence covering rack and power, management reachability, hardware discovery, fabric connectivity, and workload smoke tests.) rather than a related but different system check.
Incorrect Answers
This observation would help verify a different incident: A hosting team installs accelerator drivers before confirming BIOS and BMC firmware levels, and several nodes fail post-installation hardware checks. It does not directly establish the required result for the current case: All designated GPUs enumerate, fabric paths pass defined connectivity probes, and a representative collective workload completes without hardware alerts.
This observation would help verify a different incident: A new GPU pod is powered on before rack inventory and PDU mapping are approved, and engineers cannot identify which chassis will lose power during maintenance. It does not directly establish the required result for the current case: All designated GPUs enumerate, fabric paths pass defined connectivity probes, and a representative collective workload completes without hardware alerts.
This observation would help verify a different incident: Dual PSU GPU nodes are wired to separate cords that both terminate on the same upstream electrical breaker, and a maintenance event shuts down the pod. It does not directly establish the required result for the current case: All designated GPUs enumerate, fabric paths pass defined connectivity probes, and a representative collective workload completes without hardware alerts.
