• Question 11:

  What occurs in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Operations Center V7.1 when the command set status skip as failure off type=vm is set in the TSM server?

  A. Reporting for virtual systems is disabled.

  B. Monitoring of back up data for virtual systems is disabled.

  C. Virtual systems with files skipped during backups are no longer evaluated for at risk status.

  D. Virtual systems that missed the scheduled backup are no longer evaluated for at risk status.

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: Disable at-risk evaluation for virtual system client types Disable the at-risk evaluation for

  virtual systems client types by issuing the following command:

  set statusskipasfailure off type=vm

  Note: SET STATUSSKIPASFAILURE (Specifies whether to use client at-risk skipped files as failure

  evaluation)

  Use this command to enable the status monitor to consider clients as at risk when evaluating the status for

  each client.

• Question 12:

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: Enable the Tivoli Storage Manager Storage Agent to perform LAN-free Data Movement.

• Question 13:

  Where can the operator immediately determine whether the backup has failed or succeeded?

  A. the Admin Center

  B. the Operations Center

  C. the Tivoli Monitoring tool

  D. the Tivoli Data Warehouse

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: The Overview page of the Operations Center includes the section: TSM Clients A client is considered to be at risk if a problem occurs during its most recent scheduled backup, or during a backup that starts within a specified time interval. The term backup also includes archive operations for Tivoli Storage Manager for Enterprise Resource Planning clients. Use the information that is shown in the TSM Clients section to check for failed or missed backups and to determine whether backup schedules are running as expected.

• Question 14:

  What is the purpose of the command Query Actlog search=...?

  A. It starts a backup using the console.

  B. It searches for the active log directory.

  C. It lists administrators with search capability.

  D. It finds an entry in the activity log by entering text.

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 15:

  What does the command query inclexcl show?

  A. Details of which files are backed up.

  B. The specific order in which files are backed up.

  C. Which users have restore privileges for specific files.

  D. The include/exclude statements in the order they will be processed.

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: The query inclexcl command displays a list of include-exclude statements in the order in which they are processed during backup and archive operations. The list displays the type of option, the scope of the option (archive, all, etc.), and the name of the source file.

• Question 16:

  Which two types of operations are available on the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Backup- Archive GUI?

  A. update policies

  B. restore inactive files

  C. backup selected files

  D. update TSM client schedules

  E. control migration and recall of files

  Correct Answer: CD

  Explanation: C: Use a selective backup when you want to back up specific files or directories regardless of whether a current copy of those files exists on the server

  D: With client scheduling, you can perform the following tasks:

  *

  Display information about available schedules.

  *

  Display information about work that the schedule has completed.

  *

  Modify scheduling options in the client options file (dsm.opt).

• Question 17:

  An alert represents an error message that is issued by an IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server. What does this icon mean when shown at the alert?

  

  A. Warning; Processing can continue, but problems might occur later.

  B. Severe: Processing stops. The server will preempty the tasks and stop.

  C. Critical: Processing cannot continue. The issue must be corrected immediately.

  * The severity codes give an indication of the severity of the issue that generated the message. The

  severity codes and their meanings are as follows:

  E Error Processing cannot continue.

  W Warning Processing can continue, but problems may occur later. I Information Processing continues.

  User response is not necessary.

• Question 18:

  What is the main difference between backup and archive?

  A. Backup is only for databases.

  B. Backup is run daily and archive is not.

  C. Backup goes to disk and archive goes to tape.

  D. Backup provides versioning and archive does not.

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: There are two copy groups that can be defined within a management class, the Backup copy group and the Archive copy group. The key difference between the two can be summarized in one word, versions. The backup feature keeps and maintains versions of backup data whereas the archive feature retains a long term copy of data without storing or maintaining versions.

• Question 19:

  What can be done so that a data center can maintain highly available restore and recovery capabilities across data centers?

  A. Use node replication.

  B. Use active-data pools.

  C. Put the storage pools on shared SAN volumes.

  D. Use Disaster Recovery Manager to automate a server rebuild if needed.

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: The Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) The TSM (Tivoli Storage Manager) Disaster Recovery Manager is a feature that is included with TSM Extended Edition and it is the part of the TSM application that can be used to assist with the management of off-site disaster recovery.

• Question 20:

  Which IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) V7.1 component provides a general overview of the status of the TSM server and clients?

  A. TSM Manager

  B. Operations Center

  C. IBM Tivoli Monitoring agent

  D. Integrated Storage Console

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: The Operations Center is IBM's next-generation graphical user interface for Tivoli Storage Manager. It provides advanced end-to-end visibility of the entire backup environment. Over time, IBM plans to add more control and automation capabilities, which will dramatically simplify daily management and operational tasks for a wide range of users. Incorrect: Not A: IBM Tivoli Storage Manager is a client and server program that provides storage management solutions to customers in a multi-vendor computer environment. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager provides an automated, centrally scheduled, policy-managed backup, archive, and space-management facility for file servers and workstations. Not D: No such thing as an Integrated Storage Console.
