You want to add a VSP which has an externally connected HUS110 into your Hitachi Device Manager (HDvM) environment. What is required to prepare the environment for storage virtualization?

Question

Options

• AOnly the VSP must be added to Hitachi Device Manager.
• BOnly the HUS must be added to Hitachi Device Manager.
• CBoth storage systems must be added to Hitachi Device Manager.
• DAt least one of the storage systems must be added to Hitachi Device Manager.

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  2% (1)
• C
  92% (47)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Both the VSP and the HUS110 must be added to HDvM because storage virtualization creates a dependency relationship between two distinct systems - HDvM must have full visibility into both the virtualizing system (VSP) and the externally virtualized system (HUS110) to manage capacity, performance, and provisioning correctly.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong because adding only the VSP leaves HDvM blind to the physical storage on the HUS110, so it cannot properly manage or report on virtualized volumes.
• B is wrong because adding only the HUS110 means HDvM has no awareness of the VSP that is actually presenting and controlling that storage to hosts.
• D is wrong because "at least one" implies either system alone is sufficient - it is not; both are required for a functional virtualization management environment.

Memory tip: Think of HDvM as a referee overseeing a partnership - it needs both players on the roster. If either the "front-end" virtualizer (VSP) or the "back-end" external storage (HUS) is unregistered, the referee can't see the full game.
