C1000-082 IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.9 Administration Questions and Answers

According to IBM Spectrum Protect documentation1, a component that is automatically installed and configured during IBM Spectrum Protect installation that collects data to be used by support in case of any problem with the server is systemview1. Systemview is a tool that collects configuration and performance data from IBM Spectrum Protect servers and clients. It can help diagnose problems and optimize performance.https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/collecting-data-spectrum-protect-v7-server-install-or-upgrade

According to IBM documentation1, to define a server for server-to-server communications, you need to use the DEFINE SERVER command and specify three parameters: SERVERNAME, HLADDRESS, and LLADDRESS. The SERVERNAME parameter is the name of the server that you are defining. The HLADDRESS parameter is the high-level addressof the server that you are defining. The LLADDRESS parameter is the low-level address of the server that you are defining.

According to IBM documentation1, Application Aware backups allow quiescing of database applications in Hyper-V and VMware virtual environments. Application Aware backups use Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) or VMware Tools to create a consistent snapshot of the application data.

According to IBM documentation1, the client option TXNBYTELIMIT specifies the number of kilobytes that the client program buffers before sending data to the server. This option affects how often data is sent to the server during backup and archive operations.

According to IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.9 documentation1, a system administrator has the highest level of authority in IBM Spectrum Protect. A system administrator can issue any administrative command and has authority to grant or revoke privileges for other administrators.

The privilege class for a system administrator is SYstem1. The other privilege classes such as root, administrator, or superuser are not valid for IBM Spectrum Protect.

In IBM Spectrum Protect (formerly known as Tivoli Storage Manager), the system privilege class can perform all administrative functions. The system privilege class includes the following permissions:

• SYSOP: System operations
• AUDIT: Auditing operations
• SECURITY: Security operations
• NODEADDP: Add nodes
• NODEDELP: Delete nodes
• MGMTCLAS: Management class operations
• DEVCLASS: Device class operations
• STGPOOL: Storage pool operations
• LIBRARY: Library operations
• QUERY: Query operations
• BACKUP: Backup and archive operations
• RESTORE: Restore operations
• ARCHIVE: Archive operations
• RESTOREVM: Restore virtual machine operations
• PROXY: Proxy operations

According to the IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.9 documentation, the option to restore the most recent backup version of a file, even if the backup is inactive, is the LATEST option. This option will restore the last backup version of a file regardless of the backup's status.

Here is an example command using the LATEST option to restore a file:

restore /home/user1/testfile -latest

This command will restore the most recent backup version of the file "testfile" regardless of whether the backup is active or inactive.
