Demo Questions

Question 1
A customer needs to exchange encrypted data cartridges with another company. A competitor offers a solution that encrypts the data with static keys loaded the 
tape drives. IBM proposes IBM TS1150 tape drives using the built-in encryption feature. 
Which competitive advantage does the IBM TS1150 solution provide? 
  1. It achieves better throughput by encrypting and compressing data at the same time.
  2. It stores keys in the drive that can then be exported to partners in a secure format.
  3. It compresses the data before encrypting to achieve a better compression ratio.
  4. it writes a unique encrypted data key on the cartridge using public/private key pairs.
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
How the encryption key server processes encryption keys In system-managed and library-managed tape encryption, unencrypted data (clear text) is sent to the tape drive (TS1150 Tape Drive, TS1140 Tape Drive, TS1130 Tape Drive or TS1120 Tape Drive), and converted to ciphertext using a symmetric 256-bit AES Data Key (DK) generated by the encryption key server. The ciphertext is then written to tape. The encryption key server uses a single, unique Data Key for each Enterprise Tape Cartridge. This Data Key is also encrypted, or wrapped, by the encryption key server using the public key from an asymmetric Key Encrypting Key (KEK) pair. This process creates an Externally Encrypted Data Key (EEDK). The EEDK is written to the cartridge memory and to three additional places on the tape media in the cartridge. The tape cartridge now holds both the encrypted data and the means to decrypt it for anyone holding the private part of the KEK pair. The DK may also be wrapped a second time using the public key of another party to create an additional EEDK. Both EEDKs can be stored on the tape cartridge. In this way, the tape cartridge can be shipped to a business partner holding the corresponding private key. That private key would allow the DK to be unwrapped and the tape decrypted by the business partner. References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STFS69_3.3.0/ts7740_encryption_keys.html

Question 6
A customer needs to import and export volumes between IBM Spectrum Virtualize clusters that are geographically separated. 
How can this be accomplished?
  1. Create image mode volumes
  2. Snapshots with Transparent Cloud Tiering
  3. Implement IBM Spectrum Archive
  4. Utilize tiering-to-tape media
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
Transparent cloud tiering is a licensed function that enables volume data to be copied and transferred to cloud storage. The system supports creating connections to cloud service providers to store copies of volume data in private or public cloud storage. With transparent cloud tiering, administrators can move older data to cloud storage to free up capacity on the system. Point-in-time snapshots of data can be created on the system and then copied and stored on the cloud storage. References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/STVLF4_7.8.1/spectrum.virtualize.781.doc/svc_icoverviewtranparentcltier.html

Question 7
A customer has existing SAP HANA production nodes connected to an IBM Elastic Storage Server (ESS). The customer needs to scale out additional ESS nodes 
to maintain the high I/O throughput requirement. 
Which type of nodes should be proposed? 
  1. Storage nodes with SAS drives
  2. Storage nodes with SSD drives
  3. Protocol nodes with SAS drives
  4. Protocol nodes with SSD drives
Correct answer: B
Explanation:
A scale-out NAS system is comprised of multiple NAS storage nodes with internal or external storage. Each NAS storage node represents the same file systems to user applications. Data is stored across all NAS storage nodes, and adding capacity can be achieved by adding more storage nodes. References: https://www-03.ibm.com/systems/storage/spectrum/scale/scale-out-nas.html

Which offering should the technical specialist recommend?
  1. SnapMirror
  2. Metro Mirror
  3. Global Mirror
  4. FlashCopy
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
Global Mirror is a long-distance remote copy function across two sites using asynchronous technology.
