IBM Assessment: Cloud & Smarter Infrastructure C9060-509 Questions & Answers

• Question 31:

  Which IBM Tivoli Storage Manager processes control the amount of data stored in primary storage pools?

  A. Expiration, migration, reclamation

  B. Expiration, movedata, removedata

  C. Migration, reclamation, movemedia

  D. Reclamation, movenodedata, removedata

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: * Access mode:

  Defines access to volumes in the storage pool for user operations (such as backup and restore) and

  system operations (such as reclamation and server migration).

  * Server processes can move files within the volumes in the storage pool.

• Question 32:

  A. It is a list of all nodes to be recovered from an archive.

  B. It contains information required to recover an archive created by a node.

  C. It is created automatically whenever the MOVE DRMEDIA command is run.

  D. Is a template that contains information including commands for recovering the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager database.

• Question 33:

  Which task or process might be included in a server administrative schedule?

  A. Shred disk

  B. Promote disk

  C. Ingest inventory

  D. Expire inventory

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 34:

  What happens to data that is scheduled to be archived if there is no archive copy group in the management class?

  A. The archive fails.

  B. The archive retention grace period of 90 days is used.

  C. The archive retention grace period of 365 days is used.

  D. The default backup copy group setting Retain Only is used.

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: * . If you do not specify a management class, Tivoli Storage Manager uses the management class in the active policy set specifying the longest retention period.

  * The archive copy of the file managed by the grace period is retained in server storage for the number of days specified by the archive retention grace period. This period starts from the day on which the file is first archived. For example, if the archive retention grace period for the policy domain STANDARD is used, an archive copy expires 365 days from the day the file is first archived.

• Question 35:

  What is the result when the migrate process moves data from a deduplicated pool to a non- deduplicated pool?

  A. The migration process fails.

  B. The target pool is marked as deduplicated.

  C. The data is reconstituted on the target pool.

  D. The data in both storage pools is reconstituted.

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: * Data deduplication in Tivoli Storage Manager is a two-phase process. In the first phase, the server identifies the duplicate data in the storage pool. As volumes in the storage pool are filled, data becomes eligible for duplicate identification. A volume does not have to be full before duplicate identification starts. In the second phase, duplicate data is removed by any of the following processes:

  Reclaiming volumes in the primary-storage pool, copy-storage pool, or active-data pool Backing up a primary-storage pool to a copy-storage pool that is also set up for deduplication Copying active data in the primary-storage pool to an active-data pool that is also set up for deduplication Migrating data from the primary-storage pool to another primary-storage pool that is also set up for deduplication Moving data from the primary-storage pool to a different primary-storage pool that is also set up for deduplication, moving data within the same copy-storage pool, or moving data within the same active-data pool

• Question 36:

  If there is no icon to start the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Java GUI on a UNIX system, which step can be taken to start the GUI?

  A. reboot the UNIX client

  B. run the dsmj program

  C. run the dsmc program

  D. issue the restart tsm command

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: The Tivoli Storage Manager GUI must be run from the X Window System. If you see the Tivoli Storage Manager icon on your desktop, Tivoli Storage Manager is already running. Double-click the icon to open the Tivoli Storage Manager window. If the Tivoli Storage Manager icon does not appear on your desktop, you should start Tivoli Storage Manager using the dsmj (starts the JavaTM GUI) command.

• Question 37:

  Which two statements describe the process of collocation?

  A. Placing IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) database volumes in the same directories.

  B. Isolating archive and backup data to separate storage pools.

  C. Combining multiple TSM servers onto a single physical server.

  D. Isolating a client or group of clients to their own volumes within a storage pool.

  E. Isolating a single or group of filespaces to their own volumes within a storage pool.

  Correct Answer: DE

  Explanation: * When collocation is by client node Volume selection order: 1st: A volume that already contains files from the same client node

  * When collocation is by file space Volume selection order: 1st: A volume that already contains files from the same file space of that client node

  Note: With collocation enabled, the server attempts to keep files belonging to a group of client nodes, a single client node, or client file space on a minimal number of sequential- access storage volumes. Collocation reduces the number of volume mounts required when users restore, retrieve, or recall a large number of files from the storage pool. Collocation thus reduces the amount of time required for these operations.

• Question 38:

  What is the purpose of the set access command?

  A. It enables the client for restore.

  B. It allows the user to perform cross client restore.

  C. It allows the administrator to perform client actions.

  D. It allows clients to communicate with the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server.

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: The set access command gives users at other nodes access to your backup versions or archived copies. You can give another user access to a specific file, multiple files, or all files in a directory. When you give access to another user, that user can restore or retrieve your objects. Specify in the command whether you are giving access to archives or backups.

• Question 39:

  Which level of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager administrator authority includes the ability to restore node data from a remote system to a local system?

  A. storage

  B. system

  C. operator

  D. client access

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: The Backup Operators group allows users to back up and restore files regardless of whether they have read or write access to the files. Since this group has a limited set of user rights, some functions are not available to members of the Backup Operators group.

• Question 40:

  There are NAS files that need long term archival retention of some but not all files. Which two actions will resolve this in IBM Tivoli Storage Manager V7.1?

  A. Use a CIFS or NFS to mount the NAS volumes.

  B. Use the Backup-Archive client with the archive function.

  C. Use the NDMP backup function with the archive function.

  D. Use the Backup-Archive client with the SNAPDIFF-option.

  E. Use the SnapMirror to Tape function to protect the NAS volumes.

  Correct Answer: CD

  Explanation: C: File-level backup and restore for NDMP operations When you do a backup via NDMP (network data management protocol), you can specify that the Tivoli Storage Manager server collect and store file-level information in a table of contents (TOC).

  If you specify this option at the time of backup, you can later display the table of contents of the backup image. Through the backup-archive Web client, you can select individual files or directories to restore directly from the backup images generated.

  D: Snapdiff

  Using the snapdiff option with the incremental command streamlines the incremental backup process. The

  command runs an incremental backup of the files that were reported as changed by NetApp instead of

  scanning all of the volume for changed files

  Incorrect:

  Not E: SNAPMirror

  Specifies that the file system should be copied to a Tivoli Storage Manager storage pool using the NetApp

  SnapMirror to Tape function. SnapMirror images are block level full backup images of a file system.
