What are two consequences when a "New Installation" procedure is performed on a VSP Midrange system? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AThe SVP drive is formatted.
• BThe MPC software is updated.
• CAll the data on RAID groups is lost.
• DThe license keys are deleted.

• A
  79% (19)
• B
  8% (2)
• D
  13% (3)

Explanation

Performing a New Installation on a VSP Midrange is essentially a full system reset from scratch, which is why A and C are correct. The SVP (Service Processor) drive is reformatted to reinstall the system software from a clean state, and all data on existing RAID groups is permanently erased since the procedure reinitializes the entire storage environment.

B is wrong because updating MPC (microprogram) software is a separate maintenance task - firmware upgrades follow their own procedure and are not a side effect of New Installation. D is wrong because license keys are tied to the system's hardware identity and entitlement records, not to the local SVP drive contents, so they survive a New Installation.

Memory tip: Think of "New Installation" like wiping and reimaging a laptop - the local disk (SVP drive) gets erased and the user data (RAID groups) is gone, but your software license (key) lives in the vendor's system and isn't affected.
