You use Hitachi Device Manager (HDvM) to manage your VSP and HUS110 storage systems. Which two features are available in the HDvM GUI to manage storage provisioning tasks? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AAllocate Storage
• BMove Storage
• CUnallocate Storage
• DRelease Storage

• A
  87% (47)
• B
  9% (5)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

In Hitachi Device Manager, the storage provisioning workflow is built around two complementary actions: Allocate Storage (A) assigns LUNs or volumes to hosts, and Unallocate Storage (C) removes those assignments - these are the actual named tasks within the HDvM GUI's provisioning wizard.

B (Move Storage) is incorrect because HDvM does not offer a "Move Storage" provisioning task in the GUI; data migration is handled through separate tools like Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager or replication features, not as a provisioning menu option.

D (Release Storage) is incorrect because "Release" is not the terminology HDvM uses - the correct counterpart to Allocate is specifically "Unallocate," which mirrors the GUI's own labeling.

Memory tip: Think of it as a simple on/off pair - Allocate = ON (give storage to a host), Unallocate = OFF (take it back). If you remember the prefix "un-" as the only reversal verb, you can immediately eliminate "Move" and "Release" as distractors that sound plausible but don't match HDvM's actual UI terminology.
