A customer has replaced an old virtual tape subsystem with a new TS7740 and would like to compare the batch run times before and after the change. What tool is available in IBM Tape tools to do this? When installing the first TS7740 Release 3.0 into an environmentwhat additional customertraining may also be required? A customer has TS1120 tape drives used with an inventory of 200 JA cartridges and 200 JB cartridges, all currently written by the TS112O drives at the highest density format. The customer plans to install TS1140 drives and move the data to new JO cartridges. How many new JC cartridges are required? Assume all cartridges are full to capacity, and round up the answer to the nearest cartridge if required. Which activity is a customer responsibility during setup of a TS7700 Virtualization Engine? Which of the following functions is a competitive advantage of IBM enterprise tape over other vendor tape technologies? As viewed from the front of the library, which frame can be configured as a service bay on the right side of the TS3500 High Availability Tape Library? With TS1140 drives, if host software is used to compress the data before sending it to the drive, then: A customer proposes to install a TS7740 to replace a competitor's mainframe library. The customer already uses a TS3500 with only LTO-2 drives installed, and it is proposed to use this library for the TS7740 attached drives. Which of the following must be installed as part of the TS3500 subsystem to accommodate the TS7740? What is the maximum speed of a single EICON adapter in 3957-VFJ7 running R2.1 microcode? Which company is a key competitor to IBM in the enterprise tape area? To install an IBM 3592-007 with attached drives housed in a TS3500 Tape Library, which of the following is required? What indicates that the physical installation of a TS7720 Virtualization Engine is complete and available to the customer? What is the minimum number of FC switches required to connect four TSI 140 drives installed in a TS3500 to a 3592 007 tape controller? A banking customer's TS7740 was unable to replicate the tape backup data to the DR data center via the current grid network. The IBM support engineer had created a PMR with Severity 1 because the tape library is supporting the customer's production environment. Six hours after the PMR was created, IBM Level 2 support requested to change the Severity Level to 2, even though the problem had not been resolved. Based on IBM guidelines, why would this problem need to be reduced to Severity 2? To what value should the missing interrupt handler (MIH) be set for 3592 tape drives? Which two application workload characteristics have the greatest impact on the throughput performance of the TS7700 Virtualization Engine? (Select two) What is limited by Performance Increments in the TS7700? After a requirements analysis including the use of the Batch Magic tool, it has been determined that a TS7740 four-way grid is the most appropriate solution, with two clusters in each of two sites. The customer wants to have four copies of the data, (one in each cluster), but also to minimize the data sent over the network between the sites. What is the best way to setup the TS7740 Virtualization Engines to achieve this? A customer wants to double the capacity and throughput capability of the existing TS3510 Tape Library. The available free space in the data center is limited so 324 frames must be included in the proposal. Which fact must the technical specialist take into account in order to meet the customer requirements? According to the IBM TS7700 Performance white paper, why does it show that a T67720 has only a sustained I/O performance and a TS7740 has a sustained AND peak I/O performance? Which is the key benefit to be gained by adding the optional HA feature to a TS3SOO Tape Library? What copying activity does "Pull Cache Copy Throttling" limit on the TS7740? What provides a point-in-time view of the customer's tape data environment? Which two are valid grid adapter configurations in a TS7700? (Select two) A customer wants to encrypt data written to tape drives. A competitor offers an encryption solution that encrypts the data before sending to the tape drives for compression. IBM wants to offer IBM TS1140 tape drives using the built-in encryption feature. Which competitive advantage does the IBM solution provide? What is the key advantage of the IBM TS7720 over the EMO DLm? In a TS7740 two-way grid Cluster 0 is the production site and Cluster I is the remote DR site. The scratch volume category for the production site is 0012 and DR site's scratch volume category is 0022. Before a DR test is started, several DR system updates must be in place to protect the production scratch volumes from being allocated during the test. Assuming Selective Write Protect is enabled, which of the following is one step that must be taken? What is the maximum supported distance for inter-TS7700 cluster grid links without Ethernet extenders? A customer is attaching a TS7740 with six TS1140 drives to an existing TS3500 which is used for open systems. The new tape drives and switches will be installed in an existing D23 frame with two TS113O drives installed. What significant change does the customer need to be aware of with this installation? In a TS7700 R2.x system, how many logical paths are provided by the minimum FICON adapter configuration? What is the maximum distance between z/QS host and a TS7700 Virtualization Engine for a shortwave FICON adapter connected with 50 micron multimode at 4 Gbps? Which IBM Enterprise Tape function improves drive performance and reduces start/stop operation of the tape drive especially when writing many small objects to tape? A customer is experiencing elongated batch job run time problems on a two-way T67700 grid during the last 24 hours. What statistics should be evaluated first to review the performance of the TS7700? Select two key items that are associated with the TS7700 Hardware Installation planning worksheets. (Select two) A customer wants to move a set of LPAR workloads from a TS7740 four-way grid in Location A to a new TS7740 three- way grid in Location B. The move must be staged for operational reasons. The customer has successfully moved the first LPAP's workload and established the new grid in Location Which statement best describes Recovery Point Objective? A customer is impressed by the cost savings shown in the IBM proposal to consolidate their tape infrastructure replacing Oracle 9840 and 9940 tape drives with TS1140. However they are concerned about replacing their 9840 drives as they have a specific workload which requires fast access to the data. What is the best response to this concern? The customer operations personnel complains that the list of volumes for off-site vaulting includes logical volumes resident in the TS7740 subsystem. What is the likely cause of this issue? A customer has an installed TS3SOO Tape Library with one L23 frame with only four TS1140 model drives. All are currently attached to open systems servers. The library and drives are being moved to another location and attached to a local z/OS system. Which additional hardware is essential at the new location to support four TS1140 drives? On a TS3500 Tape Library, how many cartridge cells are available in a D23 frame with twelve TS1140 drives installed? Which IBM tape solution can be shared as a Tape Backup Infrastructure for System zwith DESMSd55, System i with BRMS and Red Hat Linux with NBU'?
