Before starting provisioning operations in Hitachi Device Manager, what are three requirements? (Choose three)

Question

Options

• AThe host must be physically connected to the SAN.
• BThe port on the storage system must be configured.
• CAny world-wide node name (WWNN) must be configured for the host.
• DThe host must appear in the host view.
• EThe switch must be added to Device Manager.

• A
  93% (41)
• C
  2% (1)
• E
  5% (2)

Explanation

Before provisioning in Hitachi Device Manager, the storage environment must be physically ready (A), logically configured (B), and the host must be visible to the management software (D). Without a physical SAN connection, no data path exists; without the storage port being configured, the system cannot map LUNs; and if the host doesn't appear in the host view, Device Manager has no object to assign storage to.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• C (WWNN): Device Manager uses the World-Wide Port Name (WWPN), not the WWNN, for host identification and zoning - WWNN alone is insufficient for provisioning.
• E (Switch added to Device Manager): Adding a switch is useful for fabric management and zoning, but it is not a hard prerequisite to begin provisioning operations in Device Manager itself.

Memory tip: Think of the three steps as "Connect → Configure → Confirm." The host must be connected to the SAN (A), the port must be configured on the storage system (B), and the host must be confirmed visible in the host view (D) - only then can you provision.
