Question 550
An infrastructure administrator receives the following incident: A server reports a loss of PSU redundancy but still boots, and a junior technician proposes replacing both power supplies simultaneously to save time. 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: The faulty component is identified by serial and alert history, and the healthy feed sustains the server during controlled maintenance. It validates the corrective operation (Identify the defective PSU or input feed using vendor diagnostics and preserve protected power path availability during supported replacement.) rather than a related but different system check.
Incorrect Answers
This observation would help verify a different incident: A GPU host's NIC link flaps only when a particular optical module is installed, but the team assumes the entire adapter has failed. It does not directly establish the required result for the current case: The faulty component is identified by serial and alert history, and the healthy feed sustains the server during controlled maintenance.
This observation would help verify a different incident: A data center's monitoring dashboard shows correct overall GPU utilization, but operators cannot identify which installed accelerator is failing because device indices change after reboot. It does not directly establish the required result for the current case: The faulty component is identified by serial and alert history, and the healthy feed sustains the server during controlled maintenance.
This observation would help verify a different incident: A mixed Intel and AMD CPU GPU cluster shows slower model preprocessing on one hardware family, while operators compare only GPU clock rates. It does not directly establish the required result for the current case: The faulty component is identified by serial and alert history, and the healthy feed sustains the server during controlled maintenance.
