A customer is managing a multi-pathing environment using Hitachi Global Link Manager (HGLM) and wants to add another host. Which user privilege is required within HGLM?

Question

Options

• AAdmin
• BModify
• CView
• DSupervisor

• A
  88% (23)
• C
  8% (2)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Admin privilege is required in HGLM to add a host because this action constitutes a structural change to the managed environment - registering new hosts is an administrative operation that alters the configuration, not merely viewing or modifying existing settings. Only the Admin role has full control over host management tasks such as adding, editing, or deleting hosts within HGLM.

Modify (B) is incorrect because, while it allows changes to path settings and configurations, it does not grant the elevated permissions needed for host registration - adding a host is a higher-order administrative function. View (C) is read-only access, permitting users to monitor the environment but not make any changes whatsoever. Supervisor (D) is a distractor; HGLM's standard role hierarchy consists of Admin, Modify, and View - there is no "Supervisor" role in HGLM.

Memory tip: Think of it as a hierarchy - View = look, Modify = tweak, Admin = own. Adding a host means "owning" a new asset in the environment, so it belongs to the Admin tier. If you're adding something structural, answer with Admin.
