What are two requirements for SVP connectivity on a VSP midrange system? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• Aone Ethernet connection to the customer's network
• Bone iSCSI connection from each controller to different LAN ports on the SVP
• Cat least one 1000BASE-SX optical connection to the customer's network
• Da static IP address for the SVP on the same network segment as the storage system

• A
  95% (19)
• B
  5% (1)

Explanation

For SVP connectivity on a VSP midrange system, A and D are correct because the SVP (Service Processor) is a management component that must be reachable over the network: it requires a standard Ethernet connection to the customer's LAN (A) and a static IP address on the same network segment as the storage system controllers (D), ensuring stable, predictable communication for management tasks and maintenance operations.

B is wrong because iSCSI is a block-storage data protocol, not an SVP management connectivity method - the SVP communicates via standard Ethernet management ports, not iSCSI.

C is wrong because 1000BASE-SX specifies a fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet standard, and SVP connectivity has no such optical requirement; standard copper Ethernet is the expected medium.

Memory tip: Think of the SVP as a "network appliance on the shelf" - it just needs to be on the network (Ethernet cable, option A) with a fixed address (static IP, option D) so admins can always find it. Anything involving iSCSI or fiber optics is about data paths, not management paths.
