Explanation

When installing Hitachi Command Suite (HCS), Hitachi Command Suite Common Component (A), Host Data Collector (B), and Device Manager server (D) form the inseparable base package on the management server - they are always installed and removed as a unit because they are tightly interdependent: Common Component provides shared services (authentication, GUI framework) that Device Manager server requires, while Host Data Collector gathers host-side data that feeds into Device Manager's management console.

Device Manager Agent (E) is the key distractor - it is installed on managed hosts (the servers attached to storage), not on the management server itself, so it is deployed and managed separately. Storage Alert Collector (C) is an optional or supplemental component, not part of the mandatory base bundle.

Memory tip: Think of the three as the "management server trio" - Common Core + Host Collector + Device Manager Server. The Agent is the outsider because it lives on the hosts, not the management server - if the question mentions "agent," think client-side, not server-side.
