Which network authentication protocol is supported on the IBM Storwize V7000 Unified storage system, is used for client/server applications, and provides symmetric key cryptography?
Answer : B
Explanation:
Kerberos -
To provide heterogeneous file sharing for Unix and Windows, the Storwize V7000 Unified system must support authentication methods for Unix and Windows. The Storwize
V7000Unified system uses Windows authentication for incoming CIFS connections and
Unix authentication for incoming NFS, HTTP, SFTP and SCP connections.
Kerberos is a network authentication protocol for client/server applications that uses symmetric key cryptography.
Note: User password in clear text format is never sent over a network; the Kerberos server grants a ticket to the client for a short span of time. This ticket is used while communicating with the server to obtain access to the service, such as a file server. The Windowsbased authentication is based on Kerberos. MIT Kerberos is a free implementation of the
Kerberos protocol, which is provided by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The IBM Storwize V5020 generates a heat file to input into which product to analyze the benefit of Easy Tier?
Answer : D
Explanation:
The IBM Storage Tier Advisor Tool is a Windows console application that analyzes heat data files produced by Easy Tier and produces a graphical display of the amount of "hot" data per volume and predictions of how additional Solid State Drive (SSD) capacity,
Enterprise Drive and Nearline Drive could benefit performance for the system and by storage pool.

What is the minimum of connections that an IBM Storwize node canister should have to a host according to best practices?
Answer : C
Explanation:
The system contains a Storwize V7000 storage system. Each Storwize V7000 single processing unit is a node canister, which is also called a node. The two nodes within their canisters make an I/O group that is attached to the SAN fabric.
Each Storwize V7000 control enclosure requires two Ethernet cables to connect it to an
Ethernet switch or hub. One cable connects to port 1 of the left node canister, and the other cable connects to port 1 of the right node canister. A 10/100/1000 Mb Ethernet connection is required for each cable. Both Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) and Internet
ProtocolVersion 6 (IPv6) are supported.
Note: For increased redundancy, an optional second Ethernet connection is supported for each Storwize V7000 node canister.
