C9060-509 Online Practice Questions and Answers

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: The client backs up only those files whose modification date and time is later than the date and time of the last incremental backup of the file system on which the file resides. Files added by the client after the last incremental backup, but with a modification date earlier than the last incremental backup, are not backed up.

Correct Answer: D

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

Correct Answer: DE

Explanation: * When collocation is by client node Volume selection order: 1st: A volume that already contains files from the same client node

* When collocation is by file space Volume selection order: 1st: A volume that already contains files from the same file space of that client node

Note: 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. Collocation reduces 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.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: RECLAIM STGPOOL (Reclaim sequential-access storage pool) Use this command to reclaim volumes in a sequential-access storage pool. Reclamation makes the fragmented space on volumes usable again by moving any remaining files from one volume to another volume. This makes the original volume available for reuse. Reclamation will not move inactive versions of backup data from volumes in active-data pools.

Correct Answer: D

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

Correct Answer: BCF

Explanation: C: Review the dsmerror.log file (and dsmsched.log file for scheduled events) to determine what error messages were issued and to assess their impact on the operation.

F: The dsmsched.log file contains status information for the Tivoli Storage Manager scheduler service.

B: Example: root@ARTIST:/home/adsm/adsmconf/logs # tail dsmserv.log

Correct Answer: D

Explanation: You can create your own custom reports using IBM Cognos 8 Business Intelligence, or you can install the Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) software.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: When a file is migrated from your local system to Tivoli Storage Manager storage, a placeholder, or stub file, is created in place of the original file. Stub files contain the necessary information to recall your migrated files and remain on your local file system so that the files appear to reside locally. This contrasts with archiving, where you usually delete files from your local file system after archiving them.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: The expiration process frees up storage pools space by marking files for deletion once they have reached a predefined retention period. It also frees the database of entries, which helps manage the size of the database.

Correct Answer: AD

Explanation: A: Device Class: Disk Storage volumes that reside on the internal disk drive

Tivoli Storage Manager devices can be physical, such as disk drives and tape drives, or logical, such as files on disk or storage on another server.

D: A NAS is a file server.

Not E: Files on Disk as Sequential Volumes (FILE) This device type allows you to create sequential volumes by creating files on disk storage. To the server, these files have the characteristics of a tape volume.
