Which two statements relating to Storage Navigator Modular 2 (SNM2) are correct? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• ASNM2 issues SNMP alerts for failed components within the system.
• BSNM2 allows you to change the IP address and port number used to communicate with the
• CSNM2 uses out-of-band communication to administer the system and in-band communication to
• DSNM2 can be used to define the Command Devices and the Differential Management LUNs

Explanation

Looking at this SNM2 question, the two correct answers are A and B.

Why A is correct: SNM2 does support SNMP trap generation, sending alerts to configured SNMP managers when storage components fail (drives, controllers, fans, power supplies, etc.). This is a core monitoring feature of SNM2.

Why B is correct: SNM2 allows administrators to configure the IP address and port number of the storage system's controller, which is essential for establishing and maintaining the management connection between the SNM2 host and the array.

Why C is wrong: SNM2 uses out-of-band (Ethernet/IP-based) communication for both administration and monitoring - it does not switch to in-band communication for any function. The claim of mixing communication methods misrepresents how SNM2 operates.

Why D is wrong: Command Devices and Differential Management LUNs are concepts associated with Hitachi enterprise storage systems (VSP family) configured through the full Storage Navigator, not through SNM2 Modular, which targets the modular storage product line (AMS/WMS/SMS series).

Memory tip: Think of SNM2 as a network-only tool that alerts and configures - it sends SNMP traps (A) and lets you set IP/port parameters (B). If an option describes mixing communication methods or enterprise-tier features like Command Devices, it's a trap.
