Question 5
What is SMAgent? (Choose the best answer.)
a host server process that enables storage system management with the storage data path
an OS-dependent collection of utilities for servers attached to SANtricity-managed storage systems
a GUI or CLI run on a host server used for storage system management
a host I/O performance modeling interface
inter-process communication that supports computer program subroutines
Correct answer: A
Explanation:
The host adapters in the hosts that are attached to the storage array are known to the storage management software. However, in most cases the storage management software does not know which host adapters are associated with which hosts. Only when the SMagent services runs on the host that is attached to a storage array can the storage management software associate HBA ports to that host.
