EMC Proven Professional – Network Attached Storage Specialist — Question 18

VPLEX Metro has been added to an existing HP OpenView network monitoring environment. The VPLEX SNMP agent and other integration information have been added to assist in the implementation. After VPLEX is added to SNMP monitoring, only the remote VPLEX cluster is reporting performance statistics.
What is the cause of this issue?

Answer options

• A. Local VPLEX Witness has a misconfigured SNMP agent.
• B. HP OpenView is running SNMP version 2C, which may cause reporting that does not contain the performance statistics.
• C. TCP Port 443 is blocked at the local site’s firewall.
• D. Local VPLEX cluster management server has a misconfigured SNMP agent.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because if the Local VPLEX Witness has a misconfigured SNMP agent, it will not report performance statistics. Options B, C, and D do not directly address the reporting issue for the local VPLEX cluster, as they pertain to other potential problems not directly affecting the SNMP agent configuration.
