D. It leverages zIIP processors to speed-up I/O wait.

A client with a fully depreciated production zBC12 would like to upgrade to a z14 ZR1 of equal capacity. At the same time, they would complete a data center move to a location across the country requiring minimal downtime.

Which of the following would typically be the most economical way to migrate them from the zBC12 to the z14 ZR1, accommodating the data center move while providing the least amount of downtime?

A. Purchase a net new z14 ZR1 for installation in the new data center.

B. MES the zBC12 to a z14 ZR1 located in the new data center.

C. MES zBC12 to z14 ZR1 in the current location; then move the z14 ZR1 to the new location.

D. Perform a Migration Offering from zBC12 to the z14 ZR1 in the new data center.

What is needed to enable dataset encryption for z/OS?

A. CPACF, Crypto coprocessor, and Secure Container levels

B. Crypto coprocessor, HCD, and RACF levels

C. Crypto coprocessor, CPACF, and RACF levels

D. CPACF, Crypto coprocessor, and ICSF levels

A security administrator would like to know more details about Coupling Facility Encryption. Their main concern is with Coupling Facility CPU overhead once encryption has been implemented.

Which ICF overhead consideration is associated with Coupling Facility Encryption?

A. Overhead is dependent on the number and type of structures to be encrypted.

B. Encryption is z/OS based and will not impact Coupling Facility overhead.

C. A Pervasive Encryption assessment can determine the overhead.

D. Once ICA links are implemented, overhead will not be impacted.

A customer runs production on one z14, with a zEC12 as a backup. The customer is planning a 50% capacity increase on both machines.
