• Question 3:

  A customer has a pair of IBM Storwize storage systems installed and plans to implement IP based replication for DR and has asked a technical specialist for guidance on remote-copy port groups. The technical specialist explains that remote-copy port groups are unique to IP partnerships and must contain at least one IP address in the local system and one IP address in the remote system. What is the maximum number of remote-copy port groups that is supported?

  A. 2
  B. 4
  C. 1
  D. 3
  D. 3

  ---

  Remote-copy port groups are unique to IP partnerships, and are the local and remote IP addresses accessible to each other through an IP partnership. A remote-copy port groupmust contain at least one IP address in the local system and

  one IP address in the remote system. You must configure ports and assign to them a remote-copy port group number before establishing the IP partnership.

  A remote-copy port group is designatedby a number between 0 and 2 inclusive that identifies a set of IP addresses. These port groups are defined as follows:

  Group 0 ?These ports are not configured for remote copy (supports iSCSI host attachment by default)

  Group 1 ?Ports that belong to remote-copy port group 1 Group 2 ?Ports that belong to remote-copy port group 2 The system will select one pair of IP addresses within port groups 1 and 2, one address on each system, and will open a remote

  copy connection between them.

• Question 4:

  A customer is planning to implement a new IBM Storwize V5030 solution and is evaluating the requirements for implementing disaster recovery with HyperSwap. Which HyperSwap configuration requirement needs to be part of installation?

  A. Both I/O groups and managed disks are at the same site.
  B. Configuration with standard topology with all controlenclosures are at the same site.
  C. Configure volume mirror relationship with a controller from each I/O group at different sites.
  D. Each I/O group and its managed disks are at different sites.
  D. Each I/O group and its managed disks are at different sites.

  ---

  HyperSwap volumes, where copies of a single volume are in different storage pools that are on different sites. The volume is cached in two I/O groups that are on different sites. These volumes can only be created on Storwize V5030 systems when the system topology is HyperSwap.

  Metro Mirror and Global Mirror are technologies that enable you to keep a real-time copy of a disk at a remote site that contains another SVC Cluster or Storwize V7000 system. Incorrect Answers

  A: FlashCopy is a function that allows you to create a point-in-time copy of one of your SVC disks. This might be helpful when performing backups or application testing. These copies may be cascaded upon one another, read from, written to, and even reversed. These copies are able to conserve storage, if needed, by being space-efficient copies that only record items that have changed from the originals instead of full copies.

  C: Volume Mirroring is a function designed to increase high availability of the storage infrastructure. It provides the ability to createup to two local copies of a volume.

• Question 7:

  What is the minimum of connections that an IBM Storwize node canister should have to a host according to best practices?

  A. 4
  B. 1
  C. 2
  D. 6
  C. 2

  ---

  The system contains a Storwize V7000 storage system. Each Storwize V7000 single processing unit is a node canister, which is also called a node. The two nodes within their canisters make an I/O group that is attached to the SAN fabric.

  Each Storwize V7000 control enclosure requires two Ethernet cables to connect it to an Ethernet switch or hub. One cable connects to port 1 of the left node canister, and the other cable connects to port 1 of the right node canister. A

  10/100/1000 Mb Ethernet connection is required for each cable. Both Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and Internet ProtocolVersion 6 (IPv6) are supported.

  Note: For increased redundancy, an optional second Ethernet connection is supported for each Storwize V7000 node canister.

  A. IBM Spectrum Control
  B. Easy Tier
  C. IBM Spectrum Archive
  D. Tiered Storage Optimizer
  A. IBM Spectrum Control

  ---

  Spectrum Control provides analytics-driven storage management and efficient infrastructure management for virtualized, cloud, and software-defined storage to simplify and automate storage provisioning, capacity management, availability monitoring, and reporting.

  IBM Spectrum Control communicates with Storwize V7000 storage systems through a native interface.

IBM Spectrum Control reports and topology views also provide information about the tier, tier capacity, and tier free capacity for Storwize V7000.

• Question 9:

  A customer wants to encrypt some of the data implementing a clustered IBM Storwize V7000-524 solution, possibly utilizing an existing model 324 keep costs down. How should the desired solution be implemented?

  A. IBM Storwize V7000-324s and IBM Storwize V7000-524s cannot be clustered together, so two IBM Storwize V7000-524s with encryption enabled on both should be implemented.
  B. Cluster the existing IBM Storwize V7000-324 with a new model 324 ensuring IBM Storwize version 7.4 is installed on both systems, as it is needed to enable encryption.
  C. Cluster the existing IBM Storwize V7000-324 with an IBM Storwize V7000-524, enabling encryption of the RAID arrays/MDisks on the Model 524 enclosures.
  D. Cluster the existing IBM Storwize V7000-324 with an IBM Storwize V7000-524, enabling encryption on all the enclosures for maximum protection.
  A. IBM Storwize V7000-324s and IBM Storwize V7000-524s cannot be clustered together, so two IBM Storwize V7000-524s with encryption enabled on both should be implemented.
