IBM Security Access Manager V9.0 Deployment — Question 25

A part of installing a fixpack a deployment professional wants to back up the appliance configuration.
How is this done?

Answer options

• A. Click on the Create Backup link of the active partition
• B. Select the active partition, select the Backup option form the Edit menu
• C. Create a new snapshot, download the snapshot to the deployment professional's workstation, install the fixpack.
• D. Install the fixpack. The installation will copy the configuration and install the fixpack to the inactive partition, set it active and restart.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating a snapshot and downloading it ensures that the current configuration is backed up before the fixpack installation. Options A and B suggest methods that do not guarantee a complete backup of the configuration, while option D implies that the configuration will be copied automatically during the installation, which may not be reliable.
