Is this a reason to use VVols on an HPE storage array to support a VMware vSphere environment?

so that the array can apply specific features such as replication at a VM-level

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Is this how the Composable Fabric handles traffic at Layer 2?

It uses MAC forwarding table to find the correct forwarding port.

Is this a benefit of using NetEdit to manage ARubaOS-CX switches?

better change management with the ability to validate changes or rollback changes

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 correct principle for designing vSAN on HPE Synergy?

At least one SSD is required for caching in each VSAN.

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.

Does the HPE OneView for vCenter (OV4VC) plug-in deliver this benefit?

informs the VMware cluster to move the VMs on a server that is experiencing hardware issues before a problem occurs

When a Docker container is run from an image on a Docker host, is this how the container is deployed?

If the image is not stored locally on the host, the host contacts the registry, looks up a host that does have the image, and schedules the container to run on that host.

Is this a benefit of the HPE Nimble plug-in for vCenter?

simplified management for restoring VM clones from vCenter

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.

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 an essential component to include in the control layer of a software defined infrastructure (SDI)?

Agile business applications

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 correct use case for HPE OneView for VMware vRealize Operations?

checking for alerts about infrastructure health and decreasing the time that it takes to troubleshoot

Is this a benefit of the HPE Nimble plug-in for vCenter?

management of Nimble clusters from vCenter

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.
