Question No. 3

A customer has an existing IBM XIV Gen3 solution with 3 TB drives and nine modules. While performance is acceptable, the customer wants to increase the performance of small-block reads. The current nine modules are running at 60% of capacity.

Which solution should the technical specialist recommend?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

SSD Caching improves small-block random read performance. SSD Caching in the XIV system can improve performance of any workload that is suffering from high latency due to a high amount of small-block random read misses.

Consider a situation where you do not have an XIV system yet, but you want to know whether you might benefit from by extending the XIV with SSD Caching. On most storage systems, you can inspect I/O statistics and determine whether a workload can benefit from SSD Caching. If the storage system has granular reporting, you can take the following steps:

Etc.

Question No. 5

A customer needs to import and export volumes between IBM Spectrum Virtualize clusters that are geographically separated.

How can this be accomplished?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: B

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.
