Question #15

Which two capabilities are provided with the IBM Spectrum Protect incremental forever backup method? (Choose two.)

A . increase the total number of bytes sent to the protect server
B . reduce the time needed to perform a restore of a system
C . reduce the total storage used to save backups of the system
D . provide the ability to use LAN-Free backups
E . perform a point-in-time restore

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: BC
BC

Explanation:

C: The incremental forever backup solution provides these advantages:

– Reduces the amount of data that goes across the network.

– Reduces data growth because all incremental backups contain only the blocks that changed since the previous backup.

– No comparison with the backup target is needed since only changed blocks are identified.

– Minimizes impact to the client system.

– Reduces the length of the backup window.

– No need to schedule an initial full backup as a separate schedule: the first issue of an incremental forever backup automatically defaults to an incremental forever full backup.

B: In addition, the restore process is optimized, as only the latest versions of blocks that belong to a restored backup are restored. Since the same area on the production disk is recovered only one time, the same block is not written to multiple times. As a result of these advantages, incremental forever is the preferred backup strategy.

Question #17

Which operation runs as part of the PROTECT STGPOOL process?

A . identification of damaged extents
B . cleanup of the storage pool
C . audit of the storage pool
D . repair of extents marked as damaged

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: D
D

Explanation:

As part of the PROTECT STGPOOL operation, processes might run to repair damaged extents in the target server’s storage pool.

The repair operation occurs under the following conditions:

– Both the source server and the target server must be at V7.1.5 or later.

Extents that are already marked as damaged on the target server are repaired. The repair process does not run an audit process to identify damage.

– Only target extents that match source extents are repaired. Target extents that are damaged but have no match on the source server are not repaired.

Note: PROTECT STGPOOL protects a directory-container storage pool. Use this command to protect data in a directory-container storage pool by storing a copy of the data in another storage pool on a replication target server or on the same server by protecting the data to tape. When you protect the directory-container storage pool, you can later try to repair damage in the storage pool by using the REPAIR STGPOOL command.

A . It can be scheduled to happen periodically during client backups.
B . It runs automatically and should not be scheduled.
C . It should be scheduled to only happen during expiration.
D . It cannot be scheduled.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: A
A

Explanation:

You cannot schedule multiple PROTECT STGPOOL operations to run concurrently. Wait for one PROTECT STGPOOL operation to finish before you start another.

References: IBM Spectrum Protect for Windows Version 8.1.0, Administrator’s Reference, p 706

Question #43

An IBM Spectrum Protect administrator checks the daily client’s schedules and sees that one client’s scheduled backup was missed.

What can cause this issue?

A . The client scheduler service is not running.
B . The server dsmserv.opt file is invalid.
C . The client DSM.opt file is incorrect.
D . The COMMMETHODparameter is incorrect.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: C
C

Explanation:

The client options file is an editable text file that contains configuration information for the backup-archive client. The first time that you start the Windows Backup-Archive Client GUI, the installation program searches for an existing client options file, called dsm.opt. If this file is not detected, a client options file configuration wizard starts and prompts you to specify initial client configuration settings.

Question #44

What is the purpose of using the VALIDATE REPLPOLICY command?

A . to display the differences between policies with the same name of the source and target replication servers
B . to update the replpolicy on the target server to match a policy of the same name on the source server
C . must be run before running ACTIVATE REPLPOLICY when making changes to a replication policy D. to synchronize the policies between a source and a target replication server

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: A
A

Explanation:

Before you use the policies that are defined on a target replication server, you must issue the VALIDATE REPLPOLICY command for that target replication server. This command displays the differences between the policies for the client nodes on the source replication server and policies on the target replication server.

Question #46

Which two LAN-free client options should be considered when attempting to tune restore performance? (Choose two.)

A . txngroupmax
B . diskbuffsize
C . resourceutilization
D . tcpbytelimit
E . tcptxntime

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: AD
AD

Explanation:

The following options are designed to control the transaction size for a Tivoli Storage Manager client/server session for the backup-archive client: txngroupmax

The txngroupmax option specifies the maximum number of objects (files and directories) that are included in a client session transaction. For Tivoli Storage Manager 5.2 and later, this option is set globally for the Tivoli Storage Manager server and can be set individually for each node by issuing the UPDATE NODE command. txnbytelimit

The txnbytelimit option specifies the maximum object size in KB that is included in a client session transaction. A single file exceeding this size is always processed as a single transaction.

Question #47

Which information is provided to the IBM Spectrum Protect administrator by the QUERY DRMEDIA *WHERESTATE=MOUNTABLE?

A . volumes to be checked out for vaulting
B . volumes returning from the vault
C . database backup volumes which are unexpired
D . volumes which are available for use disaster recovery data

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: A
A

Explanation:

QUERY DRMEDIA (Query disaster recovery media)

Use this command to display information about database backup volumes, and volumes in copy storage pools, container-copy storage pools, and active-data storage pools. You can also use the command to create a file of executable commands to process the volumes.

WHERESTate specifies the state of volumes to be processed. Mountable: These volumes contain valid data and are available for onsite processing.

Question #48

Under which two conditions would client-side deduplication and compression be configured?

A . to minimize network traffic to the IBM Spectrum Protect client
B . to minimize compute resources on the IBM Spectrum Protect server
C . to minimize network traffic to the IBM Spectrum Protect server
D . to improve restore times
E . to minimize compute resources on the IBM Spectrum Protect client

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: CD
CD

Explanation:

Data deduplication is a method of reducing storage needs by eliminating redundant data. Client-side data deduplication is the process of removing the redundant data during a backup operation on the client system. Client-side data deduplication is especially effective when you want to conserve bandwidth between the IBM Spectrum Protect client and server.
