Question

Options

• ACreate a system disk.
• BGenerate storage utilization reports for groups of storage systems.
• CView the configuration of a storage system.
• DUpdate a storage system microcode.

• A

• B
  4% (2)
• D

Explanation

Element Manager is a component of Hitachi Device Manager that provides direct, GUI-based management of a single storage system (VSP), making it the right tool for creating system disks (A) and viewing a storage system's configuration (C) - both are per-device operations performed within that single-system scope.

B is wrong because generating utilization reports across groups of storage systems is a Device Manager-level function (or a Tuning Manager task), not something Element Manager handles - it doesn't have cross-system reporting capability.

D is wrong because microcode (firmware) updates on a VSP are performed through dedicated maintenance utilities (such as the Storage Navigator Modular 2 or the VSP's own maintenance tool), not through Element Manager in Device Manager.

Memory tip: Think of Element Manager as your "single-system workbench" - if the task targets one VSP directly (configure it, build on it), Element Manager is your tool. If the task crosses system boundaries (reports, groups) or touches firmware, look elsewhere.
