Question 3
A customer asks about the implication of replacing a current tape library with a single disk-only IBM TS7760.
Which key point should the technical specialist address?
Validate that the new virtual library emulates the correct drive type.
Confirm the compression ratio on the tapes to calculate the disk space needed.
Identify the current provision for tape vaulting and disaster recovery.
Check whether current tape media is encrypted.
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
The TS7700 is a member of the TS line of products and builds upon previous implementations of tape storage virtualization. For example, the TS1155 Tape drive is not compatible with IBM TS7700 or Enterprise Tape Control Unit environments.
