The storage administrator of a VSP must create an LDEV using Hitachi Device Manager. The VSP has already been selected in the Subsystems screen. Which option is available from the General Task menu…

Question

Options

• ACreate LDEV
• BCreate Volumes
• CAllocate Storage
• DStorage Navigator

• A
  4% (1)
• B
  92% (23)
• C

Explanation

In Hitachi Device Manager (HDvM), the General Task menu uses the label "Create Volumes" - not "Create LDEV" - even though the underlying object being created is an LDEV; the GUI abstracts the Hitachi-specific terminology into the more universal term "volumes."

Option A ("Create LDEV") is wrong because that exact phrase does not appear as a General Task menu option in HDvM; it's the technical term for the object, not the menu action. Option C ("Allocate Storage") describes a higher-level workflow concept but is not a valid entry in the General Task menu for this purpose. Option D ("Storage Navigator") is a separate, device-level management tool (a web-based GUI that runs on the SVP), not a task option within Device Manager.

Memory tip: Think of it this way - HDvM speaks the language of SAN administrators (volumes, hosts, paths), while Storage Navigator speaks the language of array engineers (LDEVs, parity groups, DPs). When you're in HDvM's General Task menu, always look for the vendor-neutral "Volumes" wording, not the Hitachi-native "LDEV" term.
