IBM IBM Certifications C9060-528 Questions & Answers

• Question 81:

  Under which two conditions would client-side deduplication and compression be configured?

  A. to minimize network traffic to the IBM Spectrum Protect client

  B. to minimize compute resources on the IBM Spectrum Protect server

  C. to minimize network traffic to the IBM Spectrum Protect server

  D. to improve restore times

  E. to minimize compute resources on the IBM Spectrum Protect client

  Correct Answer: CD

  Data deduplication is a method of reducing storage needs by eliminating redundant data. Client-side data deduplication is the process of removing the redundant data during a backup operation on the client system. Client-side data deduplication is especially effective when you want to conserve bandwidth between the IBM Spectrum Protect client and server.

• Question 82:

  Which information is provided to the IBM Spectrum Protect administrator by the QUERY DRMEDIA * WHERESTATE=MOUNTABLE?

  A. volumes to be checked out for vaulting

  B. volumes returning from the vault

  C. database backup volumes which are unexpired

  D. volumes which are available for use disaster recovery data

  Correct Answer: A

  QUERY DRMEDIA (Query disaster recovery media)

  Use this command to display information about database backup volumes, and volumes in copy storage

  pools, container-copy storage pools, and active-data storage pools. You can also use the command to

  create a file of executable commands to process the volumes.

  WHERESTate specifies the state of volumes to be processed.

  Mountable: These volumes contain valid data and are available for onsite processing.

• Question 83:

  Which two LAN-free client options should be considered when attempting to tune restore performance? (Choose two.)

  A. txngroupmax

  B. diskbuffsize

  C. resourceutilization

  D. tcpbytelimit

  E. tcptxntime

  Correct Answer: AD

  The following options are designed to control the transaction size for a Tivoli Storage Manager client/server session for the backup-archive client: txngroupmax

  The txngroupmax option specifies the maximum number of objects (files and directories) that are included in a client session transaction. For Tivoli Storage Manager 5.2 and later, this option is set globally for the Tivoli Storage Manager server and can be set individually for each node by issuing the UPDATE NODE command. txnbytelimit

  The txnbytelimit option specifies the maximum object size in KB that is included in a client session transaction. A single file exceeding this size is always processed as a single transaction.

• Question 84:

  An IBM Spectrum Protect administrator suspects that at least one their tape drives has failed. Which command can be used to check that tape drives are available and working?

  A. Q DRIVESTATUS FORMAT=DETAILED

  B. Q DRIVE LIBNAME DRIVENAME FORMAT=DETAILED

  C. Q DRIVES ALL FORMAT=DETAILED

  D. Q LIBNAME DRIVE=DETAILED

  Correct Answer: B

  On the IBM Spectrum Protect server, issue the QUERY DRIVE FORMAT=DETAILED command to obtain the worldwide name (WWN) and serial number for the drive that will be connected to the NAS file server.

• Question 85:

  What is the purpose of using the VALIDATE REPLPOLICY command?

  A. to display the differences between policies with the same name of the source and target replication servers

  B. to update the replpolicy on the target server to match a policy of the same name on the source server

  C. must be run before running ACTIVATE REPLPOLICY when making changes to a replication policy

  D. to synchronize the policies between a source and a target replication server

  Correct Answer: A

  Before you use the policies that are defined on a target replication server, you must issue the VALIDATE REPLPOLICY command for that target replication server. This command displays the differences between the policies for the client nodes on the source replication server and policies on the target replication server.

• Question 86:

  An IBM Spectrum Protect administrator checks the daily client's schedules and sees that one client's scheduled backup was missed. What can cause this issue?

  A. The client scheduler service is not running.

  B. The server dsmserv.opt file is invalid.

  C. The client DSM.opt file is incorrect.

  D. The COMMMETHOD parameter is incorrect.

  Correct Answer: C

  The client options file is an editable text file that contains configuration information for the backup-archive client. The first time that you start the Windows Backup-Archive Client GUI, the installation program searches for an existing client options file, called dsm.opt. If this file is not detected, a client options file configuration wizard starts and prompts you to specify initial client configuration settings.

• Question 87:

  Which statement is true regarding scheduling the IBM Spectrum PROTECT STGPOOL process?

  A. It can be scheduled to happen periodically during client backups.

  B. It runs automatically and should not be scheduled.

  C. It should be scheduled to only happen during expiration.

  D. It cannot be scheduled.

  Correct Answer: A

  You cannot schedule multiple PROTECT STGPOOL operations to run concurrently. Wait for one PROTECT STGPOOL operation to finish before you start another.

• Question 88:

  Which command is used to display the last complete backup Date/Time of the IBM Spectrum Protect Database?

  A. QUERY DBSPACE

  B. QUERY DB F=D

  C. LIST DATABASE ALL

  D. SHOW DBINFO

  Correct Answer: B

  To display detailed statistical information about the database. Issue the command: query db format=detailed or QUERY DB F=D

  Out sample: Database Name: TSM_DB2 Total Space of File System (MB): 1,748,800 Space Used on File System (MB): 2,304,355 Space Used by Database (MB): 448 Free Space Available (MB): 235,609 Total Pages: 32,776 Usable Pages: 32,504 Used Pages: 24,220 Free Pages: 8,284 Buffer Pool Hit Ratio: 99.3 Total Buffer Requests: 204,121 Sort Overflows: 0 Package Cache Hit Ratio: 89.8 Last Database Reorganization: 05/25/2009 16:44:06 Full Device Class Name: FILE Number of Database Backup Streams: 4 Incrementals Since Last Full: 0 Last Complete Backup Date/Time: 05/18/2009 22:55:19 Compress Database Backups: Yes Protect Master Encryption Key: No

  Incorrect Answers:

  A: QUERY DBSPACE (Display database storage space)

  Use this command to display information about the directories used by the database to store data.

  Example: Display database storage space information Display information about database storage space. Issue the command: query dbspace Location Total Space of Used Space on Free Space File System (MB) File System (MB) Available (MB)

• Question 89:

  Which three values can be adjusted with the Alerts Retention settings in the Operations Center? (Choose three.)

  A. Alert log pruning

  B. Closed alerts are retained

  C. Alerts stay active

  D. Alert log location

  E. Alerts stay inactive

  F. Active alerts changed to inactive

  Correct Answer: BCF

  B: Choose one of the following options to define when an alert in the closed state is deleted from the Tivoli

  Storage Manager server:

  Delete the alert as soon as its state is changed to closed.

  Delete the alert after it is in the closed state for a defined time interval.

  F: From the Operations Center, you can change the alert state from active to inactive.

  Incorrect Answers:

  E: If the message that triggered the alert does not recur within the defined time interval for the inactive state, the alert is changed from inactive to closed state.

• Question 90:

  There are two servers, server1 and server2. What is enabled when the command, SET DISSIMILARPOLICIES SERVER2 ON is issued on server1?

  A. It enables the use of more than one server1 policy for management of replicated data on server2.

  B. It enables server1 to manage replicated data on server2.

  C. It enables the policies on server2 to be used for management of replicated data from server1.

  D. It enables exporting policies from server1 to server2 so they can be used for management of replicated data.

  Correct Answer: C

  Use the SET DISSIMILARPOLICIES command to enable the policies that are defined on the target replication server to manage replicated client-node data. If you do not use the policies on the target

  replication server, replicated client-node data is managed by policies on the source replication server.

  ON specifies that replicated client-node data is managed by the policies that are defined on the target

  replication server.
