4.A customer has a 3494 B10 Virtual Tape Server (VTS) currently installed with FC4000, Advanced Functions.  The VTS has six 3590 E1A tape drives attached.  The customer wants to migrate the VTS data to the new 3592 tape technology in order to take advantage of the increased capacity of the 3592 cartridges.  Which three of the following activities is required?
   I.   Install FC4001, Advanced Policy Management.
   II.  Establish a separate physical volume pool for the new 3592 cartridges.
   III. Define a new Data Class at the host for the 3592 data.
   IV. Upgrade the 3494 B10 to a 3494 B20.
A: I, II, III
B: I, II, IV
C: I, III, IV
D: II, III, IV

   . Three iSeries servers all using BRMS
   . One zSeries eServer for data exchange
A: 3
B: 4
C: 5
D: 6
Correct Answers:  B
6.A customer is considering implementing a large pSeries/TSM backup environment using a IBM 3494 Library and IBM 3592-J1A drives.  Because of the short backup window, they are concerned about failures occurring during data flow to the tape drives from the backup server.  What unique competitive advantage should be emphasized to the customer?
A: SDD
B: HACMP
C: AIX data path failover
D: Tivoli Multiple Device Manager
Correct Answers:  C
7.A customer has an IBM TotalStorage VTS Model B10 with 216 GB cache, four ESCON channels and four B1A drives installed.  While overall performance is excellent, it degrades significantly during the later stages of batch processing when tape output peaks.  It has been determined that the bandwidth requirement during this time exceeds the peak data rate of the VTS. Which of the following upgrades is most likely to resolve this problem?
A: Add two B1A drives
B: Add 216 GB of cache
C: MES model change B1As to E1As
D: Add four ESCON channels to the VTS
Correct Answers:  B

8.A tape marketing specialist is asked to determine the number of cartridge slots currently under STK silo automation.  Which of the following would give the key information necessary to determine the statistic?
A: The number of installed Timberline drives (9490)
B: The number of installed Library Storage Modules (LSM)
C: The number of installed Library Management Units (LMU)
D: The number of installed Automated Cartridge Systems (ACS)
Correct Answers:  B
9.A customer has six 3590-E1A tape drives attached to their B20 VTS.  They want to complete a migration to six 3592-J1A tape drives and remove the 3590 drives within 50 days, but also need to minimize the impact to their production workload.  All data written to the VTS expires within 60 days.  All new data will be directed to 3592 pools. Which of the following plans should be used?
A: Let the existing 3590 data expire.
B: Use the Library Manager to move all the logical volumes in 3590 pools to 3592 pools.
C: Change the home pool of the existing 3590 data to 3592 pools, and after 30 days run host jobs to recall any 3590 data into cache.
D: Direct 3590 reclaimed data to 3592 pools, and after 45 days use the Library Manager to move all the logical volumes in 3590 pools to 3592 pools.
Correct Answers:  D
10.In evaluating an STK SL8500 tape library, which of the following resources would best provide information to compare it to an IBM offering?
