• Question 31:

  What is the purpose of the client acceptor daemon?

  A. It enables client side deduplication.
  B. It is a light-weight acceptor for restoring client files.
  C. It accepts commands from the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
  D. It automatically starts and stops the scheduler process as needed.
  D. It automatically starts and stops the scheduler process as needed.

  ---

  Explanation: The client acceptor daemon serves as an external timer for the scheduler. When the scheduler is started, it queries the server for the next scheduled event. The event is either executed immediately or the scheduler exits. The client acceptor daemon restarts the scheduler when it is time to execute the scheduled event.

• Question 32:

  What is the result of the Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) server command query filespace?

  A. It shows all online filesystems on a user's system.
  B. It shows which filespaces the TSM DB is located on.
  C. It displays information about filespaces that have been backed up for a client node.
  D. It displays the filespaces that are stored inside a backup set from the TSM server client.
  D. It displays the filespaces that are stored inside a backup set from the TSM server client.

  ---

  Explanation: The query filespace command displays a list of file spaces for a node that are stored on the Tivoli Storage Manager server, or that are inside a backup set from the Tivoli Storage Manager server, when the backupsetname option is specified. You can also specify a single file space name to query.

  Example: Task Display your file spaces. Command: query filespace

• Question 33:

  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
  B. Operations Center

  ---

  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.

• Question 34:

  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.
  B. The target pool is marked as deduplicated.

  ---

  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 35:

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

  ---

  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 36:

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

  ---

  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 37:

  Which statement is true about node replication?

  A. Only Backup-Archive data can be replicated.
  B. Node data can be replicated to multiple targets.
  C. Node replication does not support deduplication.
  D. Replicated data may be encrypted during transmission.
  C. Node replication does not support deduplication.

  ---

  Explanation: Replication processing involves the interaction between replication rules, states, and modes. Data deduplication and the updating of client node attributes are also factors in node replication processing.

  Incorrect:

  not A: You can replicate the following types of client node data:

  Active and inactive backup data together, or only active backup data Archive data

  Data that was migrated to a source replication server by Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management clients

• Question 38:

  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.
  C. Use the NDMP backup function with the archive function.
  D. Use the Backup-Archive client with the SNAPDIFF-option.

  ---

  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.

• Question 39:

  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
  B. the Operations Center

  ---

  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 40:

  Which two tasks belong to the daily server maintenance procedure?

  A. register node
  B. activate policy
  C. expire inventory
  D. back up database
  E. identify duplicates
  C. expire inventory
  D. back up database
