Which two operations would be performed on a VSP using the Element Manager feature of Hitachi Device Manager? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AChange the ports settings of a storage system.
• BDefine tiering policies for Hitachi Tiered Storage Manager.
• CAccess external storage management functions.
• DLaunch the maintenance procedure for Customer Replaceable Parts.

• A
  95% (53)
• B
  2% (1)
• D
  4% (2)

Explanation

Options A and C are correct because Hitachi Device Manager's Element Manager feature acts as a launch pad into the VSP's native management interface (Storage Navigator), where administrators can directly configure storage system hardware settings such as port settings (A) and access external storage management functions like external volume management (C). These are both direct, low-level storage system operations handled through the Element Manager interface.

Option B is wrong because tiering policies are configured through Hitachi Tiered Storage Manager (HTSM), which is a separate management component - not a function of Element Manager in Device Manager.

Option D is wrong because maintenance procedures for Customer Replaceable Parts (CRPs) are handled via the SVP (Service Processor) maintenance interface, not through Element Manager, which is focused on configuration rather than physical hardware maintenance.

Memory tip: Think of Element Manager as a "direct dial" to the VSP's configuration layer - it handles what's inside the box (ports, external volumes). HTSM owns tiering, and CRP maintenance belongs to the SVP. If the task involves a separate named product or physical hardware servicing, it's not Element Manager's job.
