HAT-420 · Question #8

You are upgrading a Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) system with the File Module option. Which combination is required to support this upgrade?

The correct answer is A. FC connectivity between the HUS and the File Module plus the Hitachi BOS F software bundle. Upgrading a HUS system with the File Module requires FC (Fibre Channel) connectivity paired with the Hitachi BOS F software bundle - the "F" in BOS F specifically designates File functionality, making it the only bundle that enables file-level services on the HUS platform…

Question

You are upgrading a Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) system with the File Module option. Which combination is required to support this upgrade?

Options

  • AFC connectivity between the HUS and the File Module plus the Hitachi BOS F software bundle
  • B10GbE connectivity between the HUS and the File Module plus the Hitachi BOS M software bundle
  • CFCoE connectivity between the HUS and the File Module plus the Hitachi BOS F software bundle
  • DFC connectivity between the HUS and the File Module plus the Hitachi BOS N software bundle

Explanation

Upgrading a HUS system with the File Module requires FC (Fibre Channel) connectivity paired with the Hitachi BOS F software bundle - the "F" in BOS F specifically designates File functionality, making it the only bundle that enables file-level services on the HUS platform. Option B is wrong because 10GbE is not the required backend interconnect for the File Module, and BOS M targets a different feature set (not file services). Option C is wrong because FCoE is not the supported connectivity type for this integration, even though it is FC-based. Option D uses the correct FC connectivity but pairs it with BOS N, which is the wrong software bundle (N does not unlock File Module capabilities). Memory tip: Link the letters - FC + BOS F = File Module; both share "F," and if either letter changes, the combination breaks.
