Veritas NetBackup 8.3 and NetBackup Appliances 3.3 Administrator — Question 6

A NetBackup master server has commenced writing four long-running duplication jobs to an AdvancedDisk disk pool. The value of Maximum concurrent jobs for the storage unit and Limit I/O streams for the disk pool are both set to 4.
There are 35 jobs queued on the master server that require this disk pool:
5 replication jobs with priority 9999
10 backup jobs with priority 999
20 duplication jobs with priority 99
Two restore jobs that require this disk pool are then submitted with a default priority.
Which job type goes active next?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Replication, because it has the highest priority among the queued jobs. Although there are other job types waiting, the replication jobs will be activated first due to their priority level of 9999, which supersedes the priorities of the backup, duplication, and restore jobs.
