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
  19% (6)
• B
  9% (3)
• C
  72% (23)

Explanation

Performing a New Installation on a VSP Midrange system is essentially a factory reset - it wipes the system back to a clean slate, which is why C and D are correct. All data stored in RAID groups is destroyed because the procedure reformats the storage configuration, and license keys are deleted because the system treats itself as a brand-new, unlicensed unit requiring re-registration.

A is wrong because the SVP (Service Processor) drive is not necessarily formatted during a New Installation; the SVP hosts management software that persists across this procedure. B is wrong because MPC (Microprogram Controller) software updates are associated with a separate Software Update procedure, not a New Installation.

Memory tip: Think of "New Installation" like reimaging a laptop - you lose your saved files (RAID data → C) and have to re-enter your product keys (license keys → D), but the BIOS/firmware managing the hardware (SVP) stays intact.
