Explanation

On Hitachi Unified Storage systems, only one user can hold active Storage Administration rights at a time - the system operates on a "first-come, first-served" locking model. When a second user with equivalent admin rights logs in, they are granted access to view the system but the administrative control remains locked to the first user's session; the second user effectively gets read-only or view-only capability until the first user logs out.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A is wrong because the system does not allow two simultaneous holders of active storage administration rights - that would create conflicting control scenarios.
  • B is wrong because the second login is not refused outright; the system permits the login, it just restricts the privilege level.
  • D is wrong because admin rights do not transfer to the second user - the original user retains control until they release the session.

Memory tip: Think of it like a physical key - two people can enter the building (log in), but only the first person who grabbed the key (admin lock) can open the server room. The second person can walk around and look, but can't unlock anything until the first person hands over the key.
