LPIC-2 Exam 201 (Linux Engineer) — Question 50

Which of the following parameters instructs the kernel at boot time to use only one of the available processors?

Answer options

• A. maxcpus=1
• B. usecpus=1
• C. smpcpus=1
• D. vcpumx=1
• E. vmxcpus=1

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, maxcpus=1, as this parameter specifically tells the kernel to utilize only one processor during boot. The other options, such as usecpus=1, smpcpus=1, vcpumx=1, and vmxcpus=1, do not exist or are not recognized parameters for limiting processor usage at boot time.
