From a recently installed host, you want to use the Hitachi Device Manager (HDvM) CLI to manage and configure Host Group security. What must be done before you can use HDvM CLI commands?

Question

Options

• ADownload and install the CLI software from the HDvM server using the Web Client.
• BConfigure the CLI software on your client computer in "management mode".
• CSet the LUN security option to "enable" during the creation of the host storage domain.
• DSet the LUN security option to "enable" in the CLI properties file of your client computer.

Explanation

Option A is correct because the HDvM CLI software is not bundled with the operating system or pre-installed on a new host - it must first be obtained from the HDvM server and installed locally before any CLI commands can be executed. The Web Client interface on the HDvM server is the designated source for downloading the CLI package to your client machine.

Option B is wrong because "management mode" is not a real HDvM CLI configuration prerequisite; no such mode exists as a setup requirement in HDvM CLI documentation.

Option C is wrong because enabling LUN security during host storage domain creation is a storage configuration task, not a prerequisite for installing or using the CLI tool itself - it conflates what you do with the CLI versus what you need before using it.

Option D is wrong because you cannot modify a CLI properties file that doesn't exist yet; you must install the CLI first before any local configuration files are present to edit.

Memory tip: Apply the universal CLI rule - install before configure, configure before use. Since this is a "recently installed host," the CLI software itself hasn't arrived yet. The HDvM Web Client is the delivery mechanism, making download-and-install always the first step.
