Which two statements are correct when adding cache to a VSP One B24? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. CMG0 and CMG1 must use the same DIMM type C. Cache Modules must be installed on the CM board. On the VSP One B24, cache modules physically reside on the CM (Cache Memory) board - not in a general-purpose slot - making C correct. Because the system splits cache across two Cache Memory Groups (CMG0 and CMG1) that must mirror each other for balanced performance and…

Explanation
On the VSP One B24, cache modules physically reside on the CM (Cache Memory) board - not in a general-purpose slot - making C correct. Because the system splits cache across two Cache Memory Groups (CMG0 and CMG1) that must mirror each other for balanced performance and compatibility, A is also correct: both CMGs must be populated with the same DIMM type to avoid instability or mismatch errors.
Why B is wrong: Cache is not restricted to CMG1; modules can (and typically should) be installed across both CMG0 and CMG1 symmetrically, not in just one group.
Why D is wrong: Adding cache to the VSP One B24 is a non-disruptive, online procedure - a key selling point of enterprise Hitachi storage - so no downtime is required.
Memory tip: Think "Same and CM" - cache must go on the CM board (C), and both CMGs must use the same DIMM type (A). If an answer says "only CMG1" or "must take it offline," it's a trap targeting those who confuse VSP One rules with older, more restrictive platforms.
