IBM C9060-509 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 21:

  What controls the flow of data from a primary random disk storage pool to a sequential tape storage pool?

  A. migration
  B. expiration
  C. motivation
  D. integration
  B. expiration

  ---

  Explanation: The expiration process frees up storage pools space by marking files for deletion once they have reached a predefined retention period. It also frees the database of entries, which helps manage the size of the database.

• Question 22:

  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
  B. run the dsmj program

  ---

  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 23:

  Which statement is true regarding the recovery plan file?

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

  ---

  Explanation: Example:

  Task: Display a list of recovery plan files that were created for this server using the specified device class.

  Command

  query rpfile devclass=* format=detailed

  Output

  Recovery Plan File Name: ALASKA.20000406.170423

  Node Name: BRANCH1

  Device Class Name: REMOTE

  Recovery Plan File Type: RPFILE

  Mgmt Class Name: STANDARD

  Recovery Plan File Size: 16,255 Bytes

  Marked for Deletion: Yes

  Deletion Date: 06/12/2000 13:05:31

  Recovery Plan File Name: ALASKA.20000407.170845

  Node Name: BRANCH1

  Device Class Name: REMOTE

  Recovery Plan File Type: RPFSNAPSHOT

  Mgmt Class Name: STANDARD

  Recovery Plan File Size: 16,425 Bytes

  Marked for Deletion: No

• Question 24:

  The host application creates transaction logs and rotates old logs to a temp directory every hour.

  Which action ensures the logs are saved to the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server before deleting them?

  A. Use continuous data backup of the temp directory.
  B. Archive the temp directory hourly and specify the DELETEFILES option.
  C. Run a snapshot and specify the post-snapshot script to delete old logs.
  D. Run an incremental backup and use the host scheduler to delete log files.
  B. Archive the temp directory hourly and specify the DELETEFILES option.

  ---

  Explanation: Use the deletefiles option with the archive command to delete files from your workstation after you archive them.

• Question 25:

  A node is moved from one domain to another domain. The next day the administrator notices the client has not been backed up. What action must be taken?

  A. Reset the client password.
  B. Register the node in the domain.
  C. Stop and start the client scheduler to find the new domain.
  D. Verify that the node has been associated to a schedule in the new domain.
  B. Register the node in the domain.

  ---

  Explanation: REGISTER NODE (Register a Node)

  Use this command to register a node to the server.

  If a client requires a different policy domain than STANDARD, you must register the client node with this command or update the registered node.

• Question 26:

  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.
  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.

  ---

  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 27:

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

  A. Shred disk
  B. Promote disk
  C. Ingest inventory
  D. Expire inventory
  D. Expire inventory

• Question 28:

  There is a requirement to provide hot backups for a physical machine running Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. What is a prerequisite?

  A. Update the VSSPOLICY in the dsm.opt file to specify a management class.
  B. Install IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail on the same system as the Exchange server.
  C. Update power shell cmdlets to include the IP address of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server.
  D. Stop the Exchange host controller service, start the incremental backup, and start the Exchange server.
  B. Install IBM Tivoli Storage Manager for Mail on the same system as the Exchange server.

  ---

  Explanation: As a practice, the following are definitions and allowable actions concerning the copy of the program used for backup purposes.

  Hot: A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine, is started, and is doing work. The customer must acquire a license or entitlements for this copy and there will generally be an additional charge.

  Cold: A copy of the program may reside, for backup purposes, on a machine as long as the program is not started. There is no additional charge for this copy. Warm: A copy of the program may reside for backup purposes on a machine and

  is started, but is idling, and is not doing any work of any kind. There is no additional charge for this copy.

• Question 29:

  What is used to create customized IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) reports in TSM Reporting and Monitoring?

  A. PERL
  B. NDMP
  C. COBOL
  D. COGNOS
  D. COGNOS

  ---

  Explanation: You can create your own custom reports using IBM Cognos 8 Business Intelligence, or you can install the Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) software.

• Question 30:

  How can a virtual machine be protected using the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager Backup- Archive client?

  A. Install the Backup-Archive client on an ESX server.

  C. Install the Backup-Archive client directly in the virtual machine.
  D. Only install the Backup-Archive client on the physical machine.
  C. Install the Backup-Archive client directly in the virtual machine.

  ---

  Explanation: Perform some file level restores of these backups using the Tivoli Storage Manager |Backup-Archive Client running within the virtual machine.
