Question #11
Which function provides a high availability feature with dual-site, active-active access to a volume in IBM Spectrum Virtualize?
- AHypersite
- BHyperledger
- CHyper-Scale
- DHyperSwap
Correct Answer:
D
You can create an IBM HyperSwap topology system configuration where each I/O group in the system is physically on a different site. When used with active- active relationships to create HyperSwap volumes, these configurations can be used to maintain access to data on the system when power failures or site-wide outages occur.

Question #12
A customer needs to exchange encrypted data cartridges with another company. A competitor offers a solution that encrypts the data with static keys loaded the tape drives. IBM proposes IBM TS1150 tape drives using the built-in encryption feature.
Which competitive advantage does the IBM TS1150 solution provide?
Which competitive advantage does the IBM TS1150 solution provide?
- AIt achieves better throughput by encrypting and compressing data at the same time.
- BIt stores keys in the drive that can then be exported to partners in a secure format.
- CIt compresses the data before encrypting to achieve a better compression ratio.
- Dit writes a unique encrypted data key on the cartridge using public/private key pairs.
Correct Answer:
D
How the encryption key server processes encryption keys
In system-managed and library-managed tape encryption, unencrypted data (clear text) is sent to the tape drive (TS1150 Tape Drive, TS1140 Tape Drive, TS1130
Tape Drive or TS1120 Tape Drive), and converted to ciphertext using a symmetric 256-bit AES Data Key (DK) generated by the encryption key server. The ciphertext is then written to tape. The encryption key server uses a single, unique Data Key for each Enterprise Tape Cartridge. This Data Key is also encrypted, or wrapped, by the encryption key server using the public key from an asymmetric Key Encrypting Key (KEK) pair. This process creates an Externally Encrypted
Data Key (EEDK). The EEDK is written to the cartridge memory and to three additional places on the tape media in the cartridge. The tape cartridge now holds both the encrypted data and the means to decrypt it for anyone holding the private part of the KEK pair.
The DK may also be wrapped a second time using the public key of another party to create an additional EEDK. Both EEDKs can be stored on the tape cartridge.
In this way, the tape cartridge can be shipped to a business partner holding the corresponding private key. That private key would allow the DK to be unwrapped and the tape decrypted by the business partner.
