When configuring a Hitachi VSP 5000 storage system, two key components are critical:
Parity Groups (A)
These are RAID-based groups of disks that store data and parity information.
They define how data is distributed and protected across physical drives.
Essential for creating storage pools and volumes for hosts.
Management Software (D)
Provides the interface to configure, monitor, and manage storage resources.
Tasks include:
Creating volumes/LUNs
Assigning storage to hosts
Monitoring health and performance
Managing replication and backups
