CompTIA SK0-005 Practice Test 37
Question 360
A change board is planning a verified response to this server event: A virtual server is promoted to production without recording application owner, support contract, dependency diagram or approved change. For the Asset inventory and change records issue, which response elements belong in the approved plan? Select TWO answers.
- Maintain supported, patched golden images with version pinning, vulnerability scanning and reproducible configuration validation.
- A rehearsed failover restores service within RTO with observed data loss no greater than RPO.
- Reconcile discovered hardware IDs, IP/MAC mappings, rack positions, CMDB ownership and change tickets.
- Update authoritative asset, dependency and change records at deployment and verify ownership and configuration links.
- Treat documentation updates as optional because the server responds to pings.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:These observations investigate the exact Asset inventory and change records failure rather than unrelated components. The expected technical relationship is: Accurate inventories and documented changes shorten incident response and support accountable operations.
D:A successful outcome is: Inventory and dependency records match deployed assets and can be used to locate each service during incidents. This is the appropriate targeted correction for Asset inventory and change records.
Incorrect Answers
A:For this incident, the relevant principle is: Accurate inventories and documented changes shorten incident response and support accountable operations. This statement concerns Golden image lifecycle and OS support, a different Server+ technical control.
B:For this incident, the relevant principle is: Accurate inventories and documented changes shorten incident response and support accountable operations. This statement concerns Database replication and failover objective, a different Server+ technical control.
E:Incident: A virtual server is promoted to production without recording application owner, support contract, dependency diagram or approved change.
Question 361
A server administrator is investigating a server issue involving per-core and virtual machine licensing: A company doubles CPU cores in a licensed database host but keeps the old per-core entitlement count. The change must address the documented fault without creating unrelated risk. Which corrective action is most appropriate? Select ONE best answer.
- Maintain a software bill of materials and honor relevant distribution, attribution and support-license obligations.
- Update authoritative asset, dependency and change records at deployment and verify ownership and configuration links.
- Assume installing licensed software on one physical server authorizes unlimited replicas everywhere.
- Recalculate entitlement by the vendor's applicable core, socket, VM and mobility terms before changing deployment.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:Software rights depend on the actual product agreement and deployment topology; a paid license on one host is not always transferable.
Incorrect Answers
A:That option would maintain a software bill of materials and honor relevant distribution, attribution and support-license obligations, but it addresses a different concern. Software rights depend on the actual product agreement and deployment topology; a paid license on one host is not always transferable.
B:That option would update authoritative asset, dependency and change records at deployment and verify ownership and configuration links, but it addresses a different concern. Software rights depend on the actual product agreement and deployment topology; a paid license on one host is not always transferable.
C:This is the unsafe shortcut in the Per-core and virtual machine licensing scenario, not a justified remediation or diagnostic. Software rights depend on the actual product agreement and deployment topology; a paid license on one host is not always transferable.
Question 362
While reviewing the CompTIA Server+ administration incident, a technician learns: A company doubles CPU cores in a licensed database host but keeps the old per-core entitlement count. Which principle most directly explains how to address the described issue safely? Select ONE best answer.
- DHCP broadcasts normally need a relay across routed subnets, and leases must match the client network and scope policy.
- Time synchronization is required for trustworthy logs, certificate validation windows and time-sensitive authentication.
- Software rights depend on the actual product agreement and deployment topology; a paid license on one host is not always transferable.
- A successful OS install does not establish ongoing supportability or image provenance; images require lifecycle controls.
Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Applying it leads to this operational action: Recalculate entitlement by the vendor's applicable core, socket, VM and mobility terms before changing deployment.
Incorrect Answers
A:This statement concerns DHCP scope and relay design, a different Server+ technical control.

B:This statement concerns NTP time sources and clock skew, a different Server+ technical control. It does not directly address the reported Per-core and virtual machine licensing fault or prove its repair. For this incident, the relevant principle is: Software rights depend on the actual product agreement and deployment topology; a paid license on one host is not always transferable. A targeted investigation checks: Inventory physical cores, virtual instances, license assignments, agreement version and current usage. The desired recovery condition is: Installed instances and host resources are covered by documented valid entitlements after migration.

Which principle most directly explains how to address the described issue safely? Select ONE best answer.
- Software rights depend on the actual product agreement and deployment topology; a paid license on one host is not always transferable.
- Layer-two VLAN membership and layer-three routing are distinct requirements; correct IP syntax alone does not guarantee reachability.
