True or False: If only a WS set of drives are installed, in either position, the MMS will not function?

• A. If only a WS set of drives are installed in either position, the MMS will not function
• B. If only a WS set of drives are installed, the MMS will function
• C. MMS requires a DS set of drives to function
• D. MMS operates independently of drive sets

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that the MMS relies on a DS drive set to load the system software and essential configuration. The DS contains the operating environment and mission-critical data needed to start and run the MMS. A WS drive set provides writable working data, but it cannot substitute for the core system software stored on DS. So, with only WS drives installed, there is no OS or core software for the MMS to boot and operate, and it will not function. The option that claims it will function with only WS is not correct, and the idea that drive sets don’t affect MMS operation is also incorrect.
