Demo Questions

Question 1

A customer has floor and rack space constraints. 
Which model should be included with a single frame IBM TS4500 L25?


  1. Additional I/O station
  2. Top rack with PDU
  3. HD2 storage frame
  4. Additional cartridge magazines
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
The TS4500 tape library offers high-density (HD), drive-capable and storage-only frame models that are designed to greatly increase storage capacity without increasing frame size or required floor space. The top rack, 3584 Model TR1, provides an extra 10U of rack space on any frame in a library without requiring more floor space. References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STQRQ9/com.ibm.storage.ts4500.doc/ts4500_library_structure.html

  1. IBM Spectrum Control Advance
  2. IBM Spectrum Archive
  3. IBM Spectrum protect
  4. IBM Spectrum Control Base 
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
IBM Spectrum Protect, formerly Tivoli Storage Manager family, provides backup, snapshot, archive, recovery, space management, bare machine recovery and disaster recovery capabilities. Incorrect Answers:A: IBM Spectrum Control Standard and Advanced Editions are integrated data and storage management software solutions that provides monitoring, automation and analytics for multiple storage systems. B: IBM Spectrum Archive Single Drive Edition features IBM Linear Tape, not disk-based, File System.D: IBM Spectrum Control Base Edition is a centralized cloud integration system that consolidates a range of IBM storage provisioning, virtualization, cloud, automation, and monitoring solutions through a unified server platform. References: https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/data-protection-and-recovery

Question 3

Which IBM XIV replication feature provides the ability for a remote target volume to be initialized without requiring the contents of the source volume to be re-replicated over an inter-site link?


  1. Offline Initialization
  2. Quick Initialization
  3. Synchronous Replication
  4. Asynchronous Replication
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
When an XIV mirror coupling is first activated, all actual data on the source is either copied to the destination (normal initialization) or verified to be on the destination, and only changed data is copied (offline initialization). This process is referred to as initialization. References: https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247759.pdf, page 83

  1. Preinstall TDA checklist
  2. Product announcement letters
  3. Installation and Planning Guide
  4. IBM Storage System Interoperation Center
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
The Technical Delivery Assessment (TDA) pre-installation checklist and worksheets document provides several worksheets that the customer must complete for each XIV system. References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STJTAG/com.ibm.help.xivgen3.doc/Gen3/PG/xiv_pln3overview.html

Question 5

A customer needs to exchange encrypted data cartridges with another company. A competitor offers a solution that encrypts the data with static keys loaded the tape drives. IBM proposes IBM TS1150 tape drives using the built-in encryption feature. 
Which competitive advantage does the IBM TS1150 solution provide?


  1. It achieves better throughput by encrypting and compressing data at the same time.
  2. It stores keys in the drive that can then be exported to partners in a secure format.
  3. It compresses the data before encrypting to achieve a better compression ratio.
  4. it writes a unique encrypted data key on the cartridge using public/private key pairs.
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
How the encryption key server processes encryption keys In system-managed and library-managed tape encryption, unencrypted data (clear text) is sent to the tape drive (TS1150 Tape Drive, TS1140 Tape Drive, TS1130 Tape Drive or TS1120 Tape Drive), and converted to ciphertext using a symmetric 256-bit AES Data Key (DK) generated by the encryption key server. The ciphertext is then written to tape. The encryption key server uses a single, unique Data Key for each Enterprise Tape Cartridge. This Data Key is also encrypted, or wrapped, by the encryption key server using the public key from an asymmetric Key Encrypting Key (KEK) pair. This process creates an Externally Encrypted Data Key (EEDK). The EEDK is written to the cartridge memory and to three additional places on the tape media in the cartridge. The tape cartridge now holds both the encrypted data and the means to decrypt it for anyone holding the private part of the KEK pair. The DK may also be wrapped a second time using the public key of another party to create an additional EEDK. Both EEDKs can be stored on the tape cartridge. In this way, the tape cartridge can be shipped to a business partner holding the corresponding private key. That private key would allow the DK to be unwrapped and the tape decrypted by the business partner. References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STFS69_3.3.0/ts7740_encryption_keys.html

Question 9

A customer needs to import and export volumes between IBM Spectrum Virtualize clusters that are geographically separated. 
How can this be accomplished?


  1. Create image mode volumes
  2. Snapshots with Transparent Cloud Tiering
  3. Implement IBM Spectrum Archive
  4. Utilize tiering-to-tape media
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
Transparent cloud tiering is a licensed function that enables volume data to be copied and transferred to cloud storage. The system supports creating connections to cloud service providers to store copies of volume data in private or public cloud storage. With transparent cloud tiering, administrators can move older data to cloud storage to free up capacity on the system. Point-in-time snapshots of data can be created on the system and then copied and stored on the cloud storage. References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STVLF4_7.8.1/spectrum.virtualize.781.doc/svc_icoverviewtranparentcltier.html
