Answer: D

Explanation:

As part of the PROTECT STGPOOL operation, processes might run to repair damaged extents in the target server’s storage pool.

The repair operation occurs under the following conditions:

– Both the source server and the target server must be at V7.1.5 or later.

Extents that are already marked as damaged on the target server are repaired. The repair process does not run an audit process to identify damage.

– Only target extents that match source extents are repaired. Target extents that are damaged but have no match on the source server are not repaired.

Note: PROTECT STGPOOL protects a directory-container storage pool. Use this command to protect data in a directory-container storage pool by storing a copy of the data in another storage pool on a replication target server or on the same server by protecting the data to tape. When you protect the directory-container storage pool, you can later try to repair damage in the storage pool by using the REPAIR STGPOOL command.
