Is this how the Composable Fabric handles traffic at Layer 2?
It sees if the traffic matches an affinity and forwards the traffic on a dedicated path for that affinity.
A customer has a VMware vSphere environment on HPE Synergy. SY480 compute modules are deployed as ESXi hosts in HA clusters.
Is this a benefit of using HPE OneView for vCenter to update the compute module’s firmware? using simple vRealize Orchestrator workflows to perform the upgrade
Could an HPE Composable Fabric solution meet the needs for this use case?
The customer wants to be able to set up paths between data center racks using API-based scripting.
You need to migrate a customer’s Hyper-V-based virtual environment to HPE SimpliVity.
Is this a step that you should take to size the solution?
Create a Lanamark engagement and help the customer download Lanamark Snap for scanning Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM)
Is this a correct principle for designing vSAN on HPE Synergy?
At least one SSD is required for caching in each VSAN.
Is this a way that a software-defined infrastructure can reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase return on investment (ROI)?
It enables features like self-provisioning and self-monitoring to reduce maintenance costs.
A customer has a VMware vSphere environment deployed on HPE Synergy. The customer wants to use DirectPath IO (DPIO) on several HPE Synergy compute modules. You think this could cause problems.
Is this an issue about which you should warn the customer? DPIO prevents the ESXi host from being part of an HA cluster.
Is this a typical use case for a cluster of HPE SimpliVity 380Gs?
VDI for users who use CAD applications
Is this a reason that HPE Synergy is an ideal platform for containers?
Synergy provides a container runtime embedded in the Synergy compute module firmware.
A customer has a VMware vSphere environment on HPE Synergy. SY480 compute modules are deployed as ESXi hosts in HA clusters.
Is this a benefit of using HPE OneView for vCenter to update the compute module’s firmware? ensuring that infrastructure experts rather than vSphere admins perform the upgrade
Is this a way that a software-defined infrastructure can reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase return on investment (ROI)?
It collapses silos under a single control layer to make the infrastructure more agile and responsive to business need.
A customer is virtualizing some of their data center production networks with NSX. You are helping with the plan.
Is this a valid design for routing within the NSX solution?
interconnecting two NSX transport zones using a distributed logical router (DLR)
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 an HPE SimpliVity Federation based on VMware. The customer wants to add self-service catalogs that users can use to establish services built on the SimpliVity cluster. Provisioning services will require workflows that include tasks, including cloning VMs and creating datastores.
Is this a way to achieve this goal?
Deploy vRealize Automation, vRealize Orchestrator, and the HPE plug-in for vRA.
Is this a guideline for deploying HPE SimpliVity networks?
The default gateway resides on the Management network.
A customer wants to start using containers. They have decided on Docker containers and Kubernetes for managing the containers, but their IT department not have a great deal of expertise in Kubernetes.
The customer requires a packaged solution that supports a private registry and role-based access control. It should also be able to integrate with middleware tools for messaging and CI/CD pipeline management.
The customer needs help sorting through orchestration platform options. Is this correct advice that you can provide?
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) and Docker Enterprise Engine (EE) both meet the customer’s security needs.
Is this a correct statement about how containers fit within a DevOps model?
Containers help to provide simple deployment and scaling for applications in production, but only if the customer deploys them within an orchestration solution.
A customer has VMware vSphere deployed on HPE Synergy compute modules. The customer has started using VMware vRealize Orchestrator and wants to include actions like changing server connections or BIOS settings in workflows.
Is this something that you should recommend to meet this goal?
installing the HPE OneView for vRealize Orchestrator (OV4vRO) plug in (no OneView licenses required)
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 use case for using virtualization instead of a bare metal or containerized deployment?
Obtaining the best performance for a single workload
A customer is implementing a Container as a Service (CaaS) solution, and you are helping to provide the infrastructure, including the persistent storage solution.
Does this HPE 3PAR characteristic provide a benefit for the customer’s solution?
multi-tenancy
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 the HPE OneView RESTful API to monitor and manage HPE infrastructure?
customers can issue API calls using their choice of programming languages
