What are two storage resource management functions available in Hitachi Device Manager? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• Ato determine optimum load balancing algorithms based on I/O profile
• Bto group storage resources for management purposes
• Cto schedule background microcode updates for storage system groups
• Dto search storage resources for outputting reports

• B
  94% (17)
• C
  6% (1)

Explanation

Hitachi Device Manager provides grouping of storage resources (B) for simplified management - letting administrators organize arrays, ports, and volumes into logical collections - and search/reporting capabilities (D) that allow users to query storage resources and generate output for capacity planning and audits. These are core resource management functions within the HDvM GUI/CLI.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because load balancing algorithm optimization is a performance tuning concern handled at the host or storage controller level, not a Device Manager resource management function.
• C is incorrect because scheduling background microcode updates isn't a Device Manager function; firmware management is handled through separate tools (e.g., Hitachi Storage Navigator or SVP maintenance utilities).

Memory tip: Think of "resource management" as organize and find - you group things to manage them (B) and search them to report on them (D). Both verbs (group, search) map directly to what a manager does with any resource inventory.
