You are managing a Hitachi Device Manager environment and want to use the Element Manager to configure the Fibre Channel ports on a Hitachi VSP storage system. Which two Fibre Channel port…

Question

Options

• ASet the port security.
• BSet the port online.
• CSet the port SFP wavelength.
• DSet the port speed.

• A
  88% (35)
• B
  8% (3)
• C
  5% (2)

Explanation

When using the Element Manager within Hitachi Device Manager to configure Fibre Channel ports on a VSP system, only a specific subset of port operations are supported through this interface.

Why A and D are correct: Setting port security (A) controls host-level access restrictions on the port, and setting port speed (D) adjusts the data transfer rate - both are standard administrative operations exposed through the Element Manager's port configuration UI for VSP systems.

Why B is wrong: Setting a port online/offline is a host-side or fabric-level operation typically handled through the storage system's own management console (such as Storage Navigator), not through Element Manager's port configuration. Element Manager does not surface the online/offline toggle as a configurable port action.

Why C is wrong: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) wavelength is a physical transceiver hardware property determined by the SFP module itself. It is not a software-configurable parameter - you swap the physical module to change wavelength, so no management tool exposes it as a settable option.

Memory tip: Think "S and S" - Security and Speed are the two things you set in software. Online state is a fabric/controller decision, and SFP wavelength is a hardware-physical property - neither belongs in a software port configuration menu.
