Which two reasons may have prevented CALL HOME from working? (Choose two.)

Which steps should an administrator perform to run an upgrade pre-check for multiple Windows and Linux clients using VxUpdate, without performing the upgrade?

After creating a NBU-Catalog type backup policy, an administrator receives the following message:

DR file is on the same partition as your catalog and will be unusable in an actual disaster or disk failure.

Which two options are available to the administrator to ensure the DR file is available for future use? (Choose two.)

An administrator has a backup for client Linux1 using the LinuxClients policy complete successfully. Even though the policy Backup Selections are NOT modified, the backup job fails the next day with the following status code:

Error 71: none of the files in the file list exist.

What is a possible reason the job failed?

How is the expiration date of an imported image determined during an import?

What is the primary purpose of implementing load balancing media servers with NetBackup appliances?

Backups to a storage device fail with the following error message:

Disk storage server is down (2106)

The storage server is an OpenStorage (OST) host, and the master server and media server are both acting as media servers under Credentials > Storage Servers in the NetBackup Administration Console. The disk pool is in an Up state and the storage server is in a Down state. Troubleshooting confirmed the OST plug-ins on the servers are mismatched.

Which command should an administrator use to check the plug-in version installed on the servers?

Refer to the exhibit.

Which diagram is supported for backups spanning BasicDisk storage?

A NetBackup policy is configured to back up the following paths for a client:

D:\stage

E:\data

E:\home

F:\production

Multi-streaming is enabled for the backups, and multiplexing is set to 4. Backup streams are running slowly.

Which step should the administrator consider to improve backup performance?

An administrator has a scheduled policy that backs up 20 clients, each with multiple mount points and multiple data streams enabled. One of the jobs has failed and is in an Incomplete state in the Activity Monitor.

How should the administrator verify the incomplete job runs prior to the next scheduled backup?

Backup jobs end with the following series of messages in the Job Details:

Error bpbrm (pid=41876) db_FLISTsend failed: Unable to connect to the database (2505)

12/05/2013 15:39:45 - job 63389 was restarted as job 63390

Failed to get status code information (2505)

Which process is failing to respond?

An administrator creates a Storage Lifecycle Policy (SLP) to take advantage of optimized duplication. The backup and subsequent duplication jobs launch as configured in the SLP.

What may cause the secondary duplication job to run as non-optimized?

An administrator has a Synthetic backup that fails with a status code 1, and the error message:

No images were found to synthesize (607)

Which steps should the administrator take to determine why the backup failed?

An administrator wants deduplication clients in a remote office to perform backups so less data is sent over the wide area network (WAN).

Which action should the administrator perform to reduce the total amount of data sent over the WAN?

Which utility is least helpful when troubleshooting network connectivity issues that exist between a media server and a client?

An administrator is comparing the NetBackup Accelerator and NetBackup FlashBackup features to determine which feature should be used for backup of a very large file system with millions of files.

Which consideration is irrelevant when determining whether to use NetBackup Accelerator or NetBackup FlashBackup in the situation?

Prior to initiating a restore, an administrator realizes that media needed for the restore was written by a server that is unavailable. The administrator does have another server that can perform the restore and that is connected to the same library.

Which two commands can the administrator perform to change the server ownership, so the restore can be performed? (Choose two.)

An administrator has configured a Storage Lifecycle Policy (SLP) to protect a large number of clients which directs backups to Advanced Disk, then duplicates the images to tape. The administrator is experiencing an SLP backlog, which is causing backups to fail. The current values of key configuration settings are listed below:

Host Properties - Maximum data streams per client = 1

Policy Settings - Maximum jobs per policy = 20

Disk Pool Settings - Maximum I/O streams = 20

Storage Unit Settings - Maximum concurrent jobs = 20

Storage Unit Settings - Multiplexing level = 20

Which parameter should the administrator change to reduce the SLP backlog and allow the backups to complete successfully?

Which communication protocol and port does the Appliance Management Server use to communicate with Appliance Management agents?

Refer to the exhibit.

A backup policy uses a Full backup schedule with a schedule type of Frequency: 1 days. The start window for the schedule is configured as shown in the exhibit:

The administrator runs a manual backup at 10:00 on Thursday.

When will the next backup run, if all prior backups completed successfully?

Which type of backup schedule is available when using the “After each backup session” schedule type for an NBU-Catalog policy type?

A backup job is showing the following error message:

Which two actions can an administrator perform to ensure the backup completes successfully? (Choose two.)

Which command should an administrator run on each appliance as part of completing the pre-upgrade tasks?
