You have just installed Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager on a Solaris server. What is the purpose of issuing the "dlnkmgr view -sys" command?

Question

Options

• AIt displays the configuration.
• BIt displays the primary path.
• CIt displays the alternate path.
• DIt configures the alternate path.

Explanation

dlnkmgr view -sys is a read-only diagnostic command that displays system-wide HDLM configuration information - including license details, HDLM version, load balancing settings, path health checking intervals, and other global parameters. This makes A correct: it's a configuration viewer, not a path manager.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B and C are wrong because viewing specific paths (primary or alternate) uses dlnkmgr view -path, not -sys. The -sys flag is scoped to system-level settings, not individual path states.
• D is wrong because dlnkmgr view is always read-only - "view" only displays information; configuration changes require dlnkmgr set commands.

Memory tip: Think of -sys as "system summary" - it answers "how is HDLM itself configured?" not "what paths exist?" If you see view in an HDLM command, it can never configure anything (D), which eliminates that distractor instantly on any exam question.
