Question1: A manager is evaluating XIV as a new storage solution because of an extensive utilization of snapshots in the production environment. The storage administration team is a mobile workforce and the manager is concerned about running out of snapshot capacity before an administrator can respond.
How can the solution architect respond to the manager's concern?

Question2: A customer is considering a storage consolidation project.
Which tool should you use to help the customer understandthat the IBM solution will be more cost-effective than the competitors?

Question3: During a Technical Delivery and Assessment (TDA) for a DS8870, the solution architect was directed to use Disk Magic to size the solution.
What will Disk Magic provide in this situation?

Question4: A customer wants a new tape library. The customer currently uses LTO-4 tapes but has some older archive tapes on LTO-3.
What is the highest level tape drive the customer can install andstillread the older archive tapes and write to current tapes?

Question5: Which IBM storage offering enables the analytics engine with MicroLatency to more rapidly process data for insight?

Question6: Which solution meets a customer's requirements for 100,000 IOPS and 30TB of raw capacity?

Question7: A customer has an existing mainframe environment with a DS8870 attached.
This frame is only partially populated. The customer is attaching existing IBM POWER servers that require a three-tier storage solution including SSDs. Electrical power is not readily available. Price is also a keycriterionin making the decision.
Which addition to the existing system should beproposedto this customer?

Question8: A customer has a single frame TS3500 tape library with 6-3592-E07 drives. A new open systems server was recently purchased and, because of budget constraints, the customer is considering less expensive LTO-6 drives while protecting investment in existing tape cartridges.
What is the most economical way to achieve this goal?

Question9: What is the minimum role level needed to download support log files to troubleshoot the IBM SAN Volume Controller?

Question10: How many ports from a full 15 module XIV Storage System are recommended initially to connect to an IBM Spectrum Virtualize Controller?

Question11: What is the most common initial benefit to data center economics of implementing an IBM
FlashSystem?

Question12: Which IBM Storage System can be directly attached to an IBM i partition on a POWER System?

Question13: A customer is looking to improve performance in its storage environment. The customer is considering adding SSD drives or a FlashSystem product to the environment.
Which IBM tool will help the customer understand the benefit in performance of these different technologies?

Question14: What is needed to upgrade a TS7620 ProtecTIER Appliance from 5.4TB to 11TB physical capacity?

Question15: Which feature of the XIV system is a technical advantage over competitive storage arrays?

Question16: Which storage solution should you propose to a customer with a large VMware environment and one IBM System z?

Question17: A customer's data center was constructed 15 years ago. Since then its growth has exceeded expectations and necessitated the deployment of a large number of servers, storage subsystems, and switches. The energy company is currently providing the maximum amount of electricity to the data center.
What should the IBM Technical Specialist do to enable the customer's continued ability to expand its computer and storage growth?

Question18: Which solution provides virtualization, consolidation, and automation for a cloud deployment?

Question19: A customer wants to implement its database with IBM Cloud Manager and OpenStack. Which benefit will the customer realize?

Question20: Which data type will have the best compression ration with Real-time Compression?

Question21: A customer would like to use Analytics to drive business growth, reduce fraud, and increase efficiency. However, budgets are limited and the customer would like to use IBM Spectrum Scale to save money with the current storage infrastructure.
Which two IBM Spectrum Scale characteristics are applicable? (Choose two.)

Question22: Which product enables a single point-of-control for multiple storage resources to help support improved business application availability and greater resource utilization?

Question23: A customer is having difficulty with managing the heterogeneous storage infrastructure and tracking the performance of SAN-attached devices.
Which IBM product will resolve the customer's immediate concern?

Question24: What should a storage specialist do to verify that a heterogeneous solution is supported by IBM?

Question25: What is the next step for a failed installation of an IBM TS4500 where there have been I/O errors that prevent placing the library into production even after replacement of multiple parts and verification of configuration definitions?

Question26: Which IBM storage offering scales linearly without hot-spots and delivers insights from analytics faster with tuning-free data distribution?

Question27: Which feature in a DS8870 allows a customer to provide access to production data in its training environment without impacting the integrity of the production data?

Question28: Which XIV Gen3 replication feature provides the ability for a remote target volume to be initialized without requiring the concepts of the source volume to be re-replicated over an inter-site link?

Question29: How is RTO defined?

Question30: Which XIV option addresses rapid data growth and financial concerns?

Question31: A customer is considering the Cisco MDS 9148 and the IBM SAN48B-5 SAN switches. What are two key advantages for the IBM SAN48B-5 switch? (Choose two.)

Question32: A customer wants to order a full rack XIV system. The customer is on the 5thfloor of the building and the elevator cannot handle the weight of a fully loaded XIV.
What is needed to deliver the system to the customer?

Question33: Which drive type in the DS8870 should be selected for data that has been identified as inactive?

Question34: A customer has installed IBM Spectrum Control and its components.
Which IBM software product provides the core capabilities to manage the underlying hardware?

Question35: A customer has a single frame TS3500 with a L23 frame. There are five TS1150 drives and 100 tapes in this frame. The customer wants to add five LTO-6 drives to this TS3500.
