Which of the following is not an automation capability of DME Storage?

Question

Options

• AAutomatic allocation of Fibre Channel switches
• BScanning configuration on hosts (such as file system formatting)
• CAutomatic allocation of storage resources
• DMapping storage resources to hosts

• A
  2% (1)
• B
  84% (47)
• C
  5% (3)
• D
  9% (5)

Explanation

Option B is correct because DME Storage automation operates on the storage infrastructure side, not the host side. Scanning host configuration details such as file system formatting is a host-level operation managed by the operating system or separate host management tools, not by the storage system's automation engine.

Options A, C, and D are all genuine DME Storage automation capabilities: it can automatically allocate Fibre Channel switches to provision connectivity, automatically allocate storage resources such as LUNs or volumes, and map those storage resources to hosts to make them accessible. These are all storage-layer tasks that DME Storage is designed to handle without manual intervention.

Memory tip: Draw a boundary between the storage network and the host. DME Storage automation stops at that boundary. Everything it automates lives on the storage side (switches, resources, mappings). Once you cross into the host's own configuration, such as how its file system is formatted, you are outside DME Storage's scope.
