Which two reconfiguration activities are performed without interrupting host access on a VSP Gx00 system? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. adding a DKB B. adding a DB60 drive tray. On a VSP Gx00 system, adding a DKB (Disk Board) and adding a DB60 drive tray are both online expansion operations - they increase capacity or backend connectivity while host I/O continues uninterrupted, because the existing controller infrastructure remains active throughout…

Explanation

On a VSP Gx00 system, adding a DKB (Disk Board) and adding a DB60 drive tray are both online expansion operations - they increase capacity or backend connectivity while host I/O continues uninterrupted, because the existing controller infrastructure remains active throughout.

Upgrading from G200 to G800 (C) and from G200 to G600 (D) are wrong because these are model-tier upgrades that involve replacing core controller hardware; the system must be taken offline to perform a controller swap of that magnitude, making both operations disruptive to host access.

Memory tip: Think "add vs. upgrade." Adding components (boards, trays) is non-disruptive because you're extending a running system. Upgrading the model itself means swapping out the engine - you can't change the engine while the car is moving.
