Question 7

Points out of 1.00

A company is beginning a new deployment of IBM Storage Archive for an active archive storage In the design of the architecture, the client has indicated that when data is recalled from tape, they want to keep it active for 1 month because data is often accessed multiple times during a 30-day period before going dormant What component of the solution will be impacted by this requirement?

The inode (index node) counts and server memory External flash storage and metadata

Active storage capacity and Storage Scale licenses

The number of tape drives in the library

In a discussion with a large financial client, a seller notes that the company runs financial software on AIX software As a large IBM Power client, the company wants to use Power servers for IBM Storage Archive The client has asked if they can use one of their existing servers What is the best response?

Active storage capacity and Storage Scale licenses

External flash storage and metadata

The inode (index node) counts and server memory The number of tape drives in the library

An existing IBM Storage Archive user has recently started writing larger files to the archive The client uses a write direct to tape policy Because they are writing larger files, what changes will be required to the system to support the workloads?

The client will need to add a new policy to address the workload changes using mmchangepolicy.

The client will not be able to use larger files size because Linear Tape File System (LTFS) is limited in the size of the files.

The client will need to expand the cache to support larger files being written to the system with this policy.

No changes are required with this write direct to tape policy.

144 96 48

There is no limit to logical paths.

A client with multiple IBM Storage Scale servers is expanding data tiering to tape They are concerned about the cost and complexity of installing IBM Storage Archive on all their servers Why is this not a concern?

Storage Archive is not licensed by capacity, which allows full tape library capacity at no additional charge.

Storage Archive is only installed on the servers attached to tape, reducing licensing costs and

A large Managed Service Provider (MSP) would like to deploy tape using Linear Tape File System (LTFS) The client currently uses data management with an open system file system that they developed in-house They have asked IBM for

development assistance What is the best choice of software for this client?

A seller is working with the enterprise storage architect at a major retail chain to design a high availability, reliable Storage Area Network (SAN) architecture for the IBM Storage Archive solution The client has 3 servers attached to 12 tape drives in each of the tape libraries at their district locations The seller has helped design a SAN with 2 fibre channel switches and 2 connections per server to the 2 host bus adapters (HBAs) The client has asked how many physical connections the tape drive has in this configuration What is your response?

Question 15

IncorrectPoints out of 1.00

In a discovery discussion with a client, the client asks what IBM Storage Archive does for tape What is the best response?

Policy manages data from existing storage systems Simplifies usage and operation without device specific software.

Makes tape a direct network attachment Provides a file system format on tape.

A high-performance computing and research lab is currently running IBM Elastic Storage Server (ESS) for high performance workloads Because they are running ESS, which is based on IBM Storage Scale, how can the client attach tape for data tiering?

IBM Storage Archive and IBM Storage Scale can be combined with High Performance Storage System (HPSS) software to integrate into ESS clusters.

IBM Storage Archive software can only be used with standalone namespaces.

External server nodes attached to tape with IBM Storage Archive can be added to the ESS cluster to allow a policy-driven modern data protection scheme for all the ESS data.

IBM Storage Archive software can be added to the ESS clusters attaching to tape via an ESS host bus adapter (HBA).

A Silicon Valley artificial intelligence (AI) startup wants to deploy tape to preserve source data to validate and retrain their AI engine The company has over 20PB (petabytes) of data to move to tape The company CIO (Chief Information Officer) has raised a concern about IBM Storage Archive being a proprietary solution The client is very concerned with vendor lock-in What is the best response to this concern?

IBM Storage Archive is a POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) file system used in many operating systems.

All data is written in an open format called Linear Tape File System (LTFS), which can be read by other

IBM can provide a Linear Tape-Open LTO solution All data is controlled by an XML (Extensible Markup Language) format metadata that can be shared with other vendors.
