All Storwize V5000 second-generation control enclosures include support for 16 Gb FC, 12 Gb SAS, 10 Gb iSCSI/FCoE, and 1 Gb iSCSI for additional I/O connectivity. References: http://www-01.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?htmlfid=897/ENUS116-009&infotype=AN&subtype=CA

In the output of the Comprestimator, the Total Savings is presented as a break-down of thin-provisioning savings and compression savings. This helps in future planning tasks; when the volume stores more data than it does today , thin-provisioning savings get lower, but compression savings are expected to stay the same if new data written to the volume is of the same nature as the data stored in the volume today. References: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ST3FR7_7.2.0/com.ibm.storwize.v7000.720.learning/comprestimator_script.html

Storage Resource agents provide file system and local disk information. You deploy Storage Resource agents if you want to enable full server monitoring for internal resources, such as controllers, disks, and file systems. Incorrect Answers:B: The IBM Storage Tier Advisor Tool (STAT) is not an IBM Spectrum Control tool.References: IBM Spectrum Family, IBM Spectrum Control Standard Edition, page 83http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248321.pdf

With the introduction of the 2076-524 nodes, and the ability to have up to eight FC ports per node, there are several different options that are valid for attaching storage to the Storwize V7000 Gen2 cluster. Apply these Storwize V7000 Unified configuration details for Fibre Channel and Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FC/FCoE Gateway, FCF) switches to ensure that you have a valid configuration. Configuring your SAN with at least two independent switches, or networks of switches, ensures a redundant fabric with no single point of failure. If one of the two SAN fabrics fails, the configuration is in a degraded mode, but is still valid. You should maintain separate fabrics for FCoE and FC. If you attempt to combine these fabrics, you might risk adding additional paths to the volumes. Supported configurations allow a maximum of eight paths. References: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ST5Q4U/com.ibm.storwize.v7000.unified.141.doc/svc_rulesswitch_223fp0.html

IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot (formerly known as IBM Tivoli FlashCopy Manager) uses advanced snapshot capabilities of disk subsystems to create application, database, and VM-aware point-in-time snapshots. References: IBM Spectrum Family, IBM Spectrum Control Standard Edition, page 237http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248321.pdf

Spectrum Control provides analytics-driven storage management and efficient infrastructure management for virtualized, cloud, and software-defined storage to simplify and automate storage provisioning, capacity management, availability monitoring, and reporting.IBM Spectrum Control communicates with Storwize V7000 storage systems through a native interface.Use IBM Spectrum Control to monitor Storwize V7000 systems, including discovery, data collection (probes), performance monitoring, trending, storage optimization, and provisioning. IBM Spectrum Control reports and topology views also provide information about the tier, tier capacity, and tier free capacity for Storwize V7000.Incorrect Answers:B: IBM Easy Tier does not address capacity management.Note: IBM Easy Tier  is a performance function that automatically migrates or moves the extents of a volume to, or from, flash storage to hard disk drive (HDD) storage. Easy Tier monitors the host I/O activity and latency on the extent of all volumes with the Easy Tier function turned on, in a multitiered storage pool, over a 24-hour period.It then creates an extent migration plan based on this activity, and then dynamically moves high activity (or hot) extents to a higher disk tier within the storage pool. It also moves extent activity that has dropped off (or cooled) from the high-tiered MDisk back to a lower-tiered MDisk.C: IBM Spectrum Archive, a member of the IBM Spectrum Storage family, enables direct, intuitive and graphical access to data stored in IBM tape drives and libraries by incorporating the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) format standard for reading, writing and exchanging descriptive metadata on formatted tape cartridges.References: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS5R93_5.2.10/com.ibm.spectrum.sc.doc/fqz0_r_planning_storwize.html

The IBM Spectrum Control Advanced Edition licensed program includes application-aware, snapshot-based protection that is offered by IBM Spectrum Protect Snapshot (formerly known as IBM Tivoli Storage FlashCopy Manager). Incorrect Answers:A: Copy Services Manager manages 2-site replication, 3-site replication, and advanced copy services.References: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS5R93_5.2.8/com.ibm.spectrum.sc.pdf/qstrtscae.pdf

The native Internet Protocol (IP) replication feature enables replication between any SVC/Storwize family member running code version 7.2 or higher, using the built-in networking ports of the cluster nodes. Following a recent partnership with IBM, it uses SANslide technology developed by Bridgeworks Limited of Christchurch, UK. They specialize in products that can bridge storage protocols and accelerate data transfer over long distances.Adding this technology at each end of a wide area network (WAN) Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) link significantly improves the usage of the link. It does this by applying patented Artificial Intelligence (AI) to hide latency normally associated with WANs.The technology built into the SVC/Storwize code uses TCP/IP latency to its advantage.Rather than wait for the acknowledgment to come back, it sends more sets of packets across other virtual connections. The number of virtual connections is controlled by the AI engine.This improves WAN connection use, which results in a data transfer rate approaching full line speed.References: IBM SAN Volume Controller and Storwize Family Native IP Replication, page 8http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpapers/pdfs/redp5103.pdf

A: Thin Provisioning (Oversubscribing)Thin LUNs are supported. Care must be taken for the LUNs not to become over allocated or SVC will take the MDisk and its MDiskgroup offline, until corrected.B: EMC VNX LUN configurationThe storage is provisioned from the VNX as LUNs, that appear as managed disks (Mdisks) on the SVC, which can use them to create storage pools (MDiskgroups) to provision SVC volumes (VDisks) for use by hosts or for use with tiering.Incorrect Answers:C: The EMC VNX's replication and snapshot features are not supported with IBM SVC.References: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ssg1S1005317
