Veritas Exam VCS-278 Topic 1 Question 91 Discussion

Actual exam question for Veritas's VCS-278 exam

Question #: 91
Topic #: 1

Refer to the exhibit.

Two media servers, sharing a library with 6 tape drives, exist in the NetBackup environment displayed in the exhibit. Both weekly Full and daily Differential Incremental backups need to run for the clients and each schedule has a different retention period. Because of network topology, some clients back up to Media server 1 and some back up to Media server 2. The environment suffers from multiple status 96 failures during the backup window.

How can the administrator minimize the number of failures?

Aincrease the ''Media unmount delay''

Bconfigure media multiplexing

Cenable backups to span tape media

Denable media sharing

You know, this whole situation sounds like a classic case of 'too many cooks in the kitchen.' I'd go with D and let the media sharing work its magic.

Maybe enabling backups to span tape media could distribute the workload better.

True, increasing the 'Media unmount delay' might give the system more time to handle the backups.

Haha, I bet the administrator is feeling like a real-life Tape Whisperer trying to wrangle all these backups. Option B seems like a pretty slick solution, though.

Nah, I don't think option C is the right solution here. Enabling backups to span tape media might just create more complexity and problems.

Media sharing could work too, but I still think multiplexing is the best choice.

Hmm, I think option D is the way to go. Enabling media sharing should help distribute the load across the tape drives and reduce those pesky status 96 failures.
