A customer has an existing D68800 which is installed in their data center. It now must have an extra frame added to support additional capacity growth, but there is no room to fit the expansion frame to the right.
Which option should be taken?

• A.Fit the expansion frame to the left of the base frame
• B.Create an MES to replace all of the existing capacity with larger drives which support both the existing workload and the planned increase
• C.Disruptively relocate the D68800 to make space to the right of the base frame for the expansion frame

A customer wants to place some HDDs in a DS8870. The customer also wants to enable Easy Tier with SSD for all HDDs, but wants to minimize the amount of SSDs purchased.
Which option would be valid?

• A.SDDs come in full drive sets (16 drives). Purchasing a single full drive set, if configured properly, would enable all the HDDs to be in an Easy Tier pool at the lowest cost.
• B.SSDs come in half drive sets (8 drives). Purchasing a single half drive set, if configured properly, would enable all the HDDs to be in an Easy Tier pool at the lowest cost.
• C.IBM recommends a 2:1 ratio of HDDs to SSDs, so the customer should purchase half the number of SSDs compared to the number of HDDs purchased.
• D.IBM never recommends less than 50% of the configured drives be SSD, so the customer should match the number of HDDs with the same number of SSDs.
