You want to configure SNMP on a Hitachi Unified Storage system. The license key is already installed and enabled. What are two key steps when configuring SNMP? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AImport the MIB file into the HUS.
• BInstall an SNMP Manager on the HUS.
• CCreate the SNMP environment file in the HUS.
• DRegister the SNMP configuration files in the HUS.

Explanation

C and D are the correct answers.

On a Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) system, SNMP configuration requires two distinct steps in the storage system itself: first, you create the SNMP environment file (C), which defines settings such as community strings and trap destinations, and then you register those configuration files (D) with the HUS so the system can activate and apply the SNMP settings. These two steps work together - creating without registering means the configuration never takes effect.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because MIB files are imported into the SNMP Manager (the external monitoring application), not into the storage array itself. The HUS doesn't consume MIB files.
• B is incorrect because the SNMP Manager is a separate third-party or vendor application (e.g., SolarWinds, HP OpenView) that runs on a management server - you never install it on the HUS hardware.

Memory tip: Think of it as a two-phase process - "Write then Register" (Create → Register). This mirrors how many storage systems handle configuration files: author the file first, then commit it to the system. If you remember that MIB files belong to the manager side (not the array), you can quickly eliminate A and B.
