References: QUESTION 3 Which option is added to ensure that all of the commands before the next SERIAL command complete before the script continues when scripting multiple commands in PARALLEL? A. WAIT=ON B. CONTINUE=NO C. PRIORITY=1 D. WAIT=YES /Reference: : Wait Specifies whether to wait for the server to complete processing this command in the foreground. The default is NO. Possible values are: No Specifies that the server processes this command in the background. Use the QUERY PROCESS command to monitor the background processing of this command. Yes Specifies that the server processes this command in the foreground. You wait for the command to complete before continuing with other tasks. The server then displays the output messages to the administrative client when the command completes. If you are backing up multiple file systems, all backup processes must complete before the command is complete.

Click the Pools link in the Storage & Data Availability pod of the IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center. D. Click the Servers pod and select details for storage with IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center. Correct Answer: A /Reference: : Do I need to issue the PROTECT STGPOOL command if I replicate all nodes in a directory-container storage pool? It is highly recommended that you issue the PROTECT STGPOOL command regardless of the current replication strategy in place. The PROTECT STGPOOL

14 command is a storage level protection mechanism and allows for the repair of damaged extents without any interaction with the inventory. If the PROTECT STGPOOL is issued before the REPLICATE NODE command completes, the replication process completes faster. This is an added benefit as the primary goal is to protect the storage in case of local damage scenario.
