• Question 53:

  Which scheduling mode is initiated by the server contacting a registered client?

  A. All
  B. Polling
  C. Initiated
  D. Prompted
  D. Prompted

  ---

  Explanation: Tivoli Storage Manager provides two scheduling modes: client- polling and server-prompted.

• Question 54:

  What is the purpose of the command, validate lanfree?

  A. verify the LANFree mount points
  B. verify the target disk storage pools
  C. verify the LANFree storage agent is installed
  D. verify LANFree configuration is working properly
  D. verify LANFree configuration is working properly

  ---

  Explanation: VALIDATE LANFREE (Validate LAN-Free paths)

  Use this command to determine which destinations for a given node using a specific storage agent are capable of LAN-Free data movement.

  Example:

  Command

  validate lanfree tiger aix_sta1

  Output

  Node Storage Operation Mgmt Class Destination LAN-Free Name Agent Name Name capable?

  ----- -------- --------- ---------- ----------- -------- ----------- TIGER AIX_STA1 BACKUP STANDARD OUTPOOL NO No available online paths.

  TIGER AIX_STA1 BACKUP STANDARD PRIMARY NO Destination storage pool is configured for simultan eous write.

  TIGER AIX_STA1 BACKUP STANDARD SHRPOOL YES

• Question 55:

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

  ---

  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 56:

  What does the preschedulecmd option accommodate?

  A. It enables deduplication on the client.
  B. It tests out a schedule prior to running.
  C. It gives this schedule higher priority over other schedules.
  D. It executes an operating system command before the scheduled action.
  D. It executes an operating system command before the scheduled action.

  ---

  Explanation: The preschedulecmd option specifies a command that the client program processes before it runs a schedule. The client program waits for the command to complete before it starts the schedule.

• Question 57:

  What is compatible with client-side deduplication?

  A. SSL
  B. NDMP
  C. encryption
  D. LAN-free backup
  B. NDMP

  ---

  Explanation: When you configure client-side data deduplication, the following requirements must be met:

  *

  The client and server must be at version 6.2.0 or later.

  *

  (not D) Client-side deduplication cannot be used in combination with LAN-free backups.

  *

  (not C) Files that are intended for deduplication must not be encrypted. Encrypted files and files from encrypted file systems cannot be deduplicated. Etc.

• Question 58:

  How does SnapDiff determine which files have changed?

  A. It uses journal based backup.
  B. It scans the file system for changed blocks.
  C. It compares the TOC stored in the TSM database.
  D. It runs an incremental backup of the files that were reported as changed by the filer.
  D. It runs an incremental backup of the files that were reported as changed by the filer.

  ---

  Explanation: 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

• Question 59:

  What is the purpose of the command query system?

  A. It lists all Windows client nodes.
  B. It shows which severs are being protected.
  C. It gives an overview of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) V7.1 environment.
  D. It returns the health status of the TSM server.
  C. It gives an overview of IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) V7.1 environment.

  ---

  Explanation: QUERY SYSTEM (Query the System Configuration and Capacity)

  Use this command to obtain consolidated information regarding Tivoli Storage Manager configuration and capacity. This command consolidates output from the following commands: QUERY ASSOCIATION QUERY COPYGROUP QUERY DB QUERY DBVOLUME QUERY DEVCLASS QUERY DOMAIN QUERY LOG QUERY LOGVOLUME QUERY MGMTCLASS QUERY OPTIONS QUERY PROCESS QUERY SCHEDULE QUERY SESSION QUERY STATUS QUERY STGPOOL QUERY VOLUME

• Question 60:

  A storage pool contains backup data from several clients and has collocation by node enabled. If collocation is disabled by setting collocation to No, what is the immediate effect on files already stored in the storage pool?

  A. There is no immediate effect on files that are already stored.
  B. A reclamation process is immediately started to remove the collocated files.
  C. All collocated backup data is deleted, and clients are required to perform a full backup.
  D. A migration process is automatically started to move the collocated files to the copy pool.
  A. There is no immediate effect on files that are already stored.

  ---

  Explanation: After you define a storage pool, you can change the collocation setting by

  updating the storage pool. The change in collocation for the pool does not affect files that are already stored in the pool.

  Note:

  *

  When collocation is disabled, the server attempts to use all available space on each volume before selecting a new volume.

  *

  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. You can set collocation for each sequential access storage pool when you define or update the pool.

  By using collocation, you can reduce 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.
