A storage administrator attempts to restart the Management Server to resolve Unisphere issues, but is unable to do so. What is the cause of this issue?

Question

Options

• ASP is in Maintenance mode.
• BOnly one SP is in Service mode.
• CSP is in Reset and Hold mode
• DBoth SPs are in Service mode

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  13% (4)
• C
  6% (2)
• D
  77% (24)

Explanation

When both SPs are in Service mode, neither Storage Processor is available to host the Unisphere Management Server, making a restart impossible - you need at least one SP in normal operation for management services to run. Option A is wrong because Maintenance mode on a single SP still leaves the other SP available to run the Management Server. Option B is wrong for the same reason - one SP in Service mode means the partner SP can still host management functions. Option C (Reset and Hold) is a diagnostic hold state that similarly affects only one SP at a time and doesn't inherently block the Management Server on the other SP.

Memory tip: Think "both SPs serviced = nobody home." Service mode is for physical hardware work, and you can't restart a server when the machine running it has been completely taken offline - doubling that means zero hosts for Unisphere.
