HPE2-K45 Exam Dumps : Using HPE SimpliVity

• Register External Store …1

This option allows you to register an HPE StoreOnce Catalyst Store as an external backup target for HPE SimpliVity. This enables you to store VM backups on an HPEStoreOnce system, which is a disk-based backup solution that offers deduplication, compression, encryption, remote replication, and direct application-managed integration2.

To use this option, you need to have an HPE StoreOnce appliance connected to your HPE SimpliVity cluster, and configure a Catalyst Store on it. Then, you can select the All HPE SimpliVity Actions menu, and click Register External Store. You will be prompted to enter the following information:

• The name of the external store
• The IP address or hostname of the HPE StoreOnce appliance
• The name of the Catalyst Store
• The credentials of the Catalyst Store

After you enter the required information, click OK to register the external store1.

To use this option, you need to select the backup from which you want to restore the files, then click Backup Actions > Restore Files. You will be prompted to enter the following information:

• The name of the virtual machine where you want to restore the files
• The path of the folder where you want to restore the files
• The path of the folder that you want to restore from the backup
• The credentials of the virtual machine where you want to restore the files

After you enter the required information, click OK to start the restore process3.

 The difference between crash consistent and application consistent cloning methods is that the application consistent method ensures that the cloned virtual machine is in a consistent state with respect to the application and database, while the crash consistent method does not guarantee that1. The application consistent method uses the VMware snapshot or the Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to quiesce the application and flush the pending I/O operations to the disk before creating the clone, which prevents data corruption or loss2. The crash consistent method does not quiesce the application or flush the pending I/O operations, and creates the clone as if the virtual machine had crashed, which may result in data inconsistency or recovery issues3. The application consistent method is recommended for virtual machines that run database applications, such as SQL Server or Oracle, while the crash consistent method is suitable for virtual machines that run non-database applications, such as web servers or file servers4. The application consistent method is not available only for Linux operating systems (option D), as it also supports Windows Server operating systems that have VMware Tools or VSS installed5. The crash consistent method should not be used only for the virtual machines with Fault Tolerance enabled (option C), as it can be used for any virtual machine that does not require application consistency. Both methods are not the same,and the speed of cloning is not the only difference (option B), as they have different implications for the data integrity and availability of the cloned virtual machine. References:
