Is this a correct principle for designing vSAN on HPE Synergy?
Drives for storage pools should use RAID 6.
You are deploying HPE FlexFabric switches in a data center in which a customer uses VMware NSX. Is this something that you should check on the FlexFabric switches?
ToR switch ports that connect to ESXi hosts permit the NSX transport VLAN ID.
Is this a way to help a customer automate deployment of workloads on bare metal?
Propose an HPE Composable Rack solution and tell the customer to use cluster management to deploy the workloads.
Is this a reason to implement VXLAN on an HPE FlexFabric or ArubaOS-CX switch?
to integrate with VMware NSX and provide wider support for tunneling between VMs and physical machines
Is this a benefit of using NetEdit to manage ARubaOS-CX switches?
API-based scripting of the network infrastructure
A customer has an HPE FlexFabric data center network, which was working correctly. Then the customer added VMware NSX, and now VM-to-VM traffic in logical networks is not being forwarded by the network infrastructure.
Could this be the issue?
The MTU on the VXLAN transport VLAN on the FlexFabric switches is smaller than that used by the VXLAN transport.
A customer has a virtualized data center that uses VMware. The virtualized workloads include latency- sensitive databases. You are considering proposing that the customer move the workloads to HPE SimpliVity.
Does this correctly describe how well HPE SimpliVity can handle the latency-sensitive workloads?
HPE SimpliVity is not recommended for latency sensitive workloads, and you should propose a different solution.
Is this a use case for a cluster of HPE SimpliVity 380H models?
providing both the compute and storage resources for a virtualization farm
A customer has a Microsoft Hyper-V environment and wants to be able to deploy an OS on bare metal HPE ProLiant servers with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM).
Is this part of the process for enabling this feature?
Use extracted drivers to create an HPE ProLiant Updates Catalog (PUC).
A customer has a Microsoft Hyper-V virtualized environment. You are helping a customer replace some of the hosts with an HPE SimpliVity cluster.
Is this a correct guideline for adding and managing the new cluster?
Use the HPE SimpliVity Image Streamer to deploy the Hyper-V hypervisor to the nodes automatically.
Is this a reason that a virtualization farm benefits from deployment on software-defined infrastructure (SDI)?
SDI helps customers scale out virtualization farms more quickly.
Is this a use case or benefit of HPE Recovery Manager Central RMC-V?
automate cloning VMs and attaching their virtual disks to a volume stored on HPE 3PAR
Is this a benefit of using the HPE OneView RESTful API to monitor and manage HPE infrastructure?
replacing HTTPS and SSH-based security with the more secure IPMI-based options
Is this a use case for a cluster of HPE SimpliVity 380H models?
providing GPU acceleration for VDI workloads
Is this a use case for deploying Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct on HPE infrastructure?
providing object storage for a high performance computing (HPC) solution
Is this how the Composable Fabric handles traffic at Layer 2?
If the traffic does not match an affinity, forward the traffic on a path calculated for such traffic.
Is this a typical use case for a cluster of HPE SimpliVity 380Gs?
VDI for users who use CAD applications
A customer has a Microsoft Hyper-V virtualized environment. You are helping a customer replace some of the hosts with an HPE SimpliVity cluster.
Is this a correct guideline for adding and managing the new cluster?
Use the Deployment Manager with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) to add nodes to SCVMM one at a time.
A customer has an HPE FlexFabric data center network, which was working correctly. Then the customer added VMware NSX, and now VM-to-VM traffic in logical networks is not being forwarded by the network infrastructure.
Could this be the issue?
The FlexFabric switches are not configured with an expanded VLAN set to match the VNIs in logical switches.
The architect must design Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct on HPE infrastructure, in order to meet customer requirements.
Is this a correct principle that the architect must consider?
Use the same RAID level on storage pool drives and the drives with OS volumes.
Is this a benefit of using the HPE OneView RESTful API to monitor and manage HPE infrastructure?
customers can issue API calls using their choice of programming languages
A customer needs a new infrastructure solution for its VMware vSphere environment.
Is this a valid proposal to give the customer the benefits of cluster aware management with HPE OneView for vCenter (OV4VC)?
HPE Synergy solution with Virtual Connect (VC) modules
Is this a requirement for using the grow cluster feature in HPE OneView for vCenter (OV4VC)?
The existing cluster members are discovered and managed in HPE OneView, but not in vCenter.
Is this a reason to use VVols on an HPE storage array to support a VMware vSphere environment?
because VVol acts as plug-ins, integrating array monitoring and management on vCenter
Is this a benefit of the HPE Nimble plug-in for vCenter?
storage management actions integrated into vCenter workflows
You are proposing an HPE Synergy solution for the customer’s VMware vSphere environment.
Is this a guideline for supporting ease of provisioning, management, and monitoring for the software-defined infrastructure?
Use Synergy server profile templates to support simplified scaling.
