Is this a benefit of the HPE Nimble plug-in for vCenter?
storage management actions integrated into vCenter workflows
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.
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 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? QoS support
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 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.
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.
You are proposing HPE Synergy to support a VMware vSphere environment, in which clusters of ESXi hosts provide high availability for workloads such as a web farm, an inventory server, and a database.
Is this a recommended design principle for this use case?
Use Tunneled node VLANs for the connections on which ESXi nodes carry production traffic.
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
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?
replacing HTTPS and SSH-based security with the more secure IPMI-based options
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
Does HPE help customers deploy OpenShift Container Platform on HPE Synergy in this way?
provides Docker images, available through Docker Hub, which are optimized for running on HPE Synergy and OCP
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 image is pulled from Docker Hub or the registry indicated in the run command.
You are proposing HPE Synergy to support a VMware vSphere environment, in which clusters of ESXi hosts provide high availability for workloads such as a web farm, an inventory server, and a database.
Is this a recommended design principle for this use case? Deploy no more than three nodes per cluster.
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
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 use case for deploying Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct on HPE infrastructure?
creating a link between a Microsoft Hyper-V environment and Nimble virtual 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)
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)
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.
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?
routing traffic between VXLANs (logical networks) locally on each ESXi host by deploying a distributed logical router (DLR) to an edge cluster
A customer has a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) solution. You suggest deploying HPE Nimble and the HPE CSI Driver.
With this proposal, can HPE Nimble fulfill this role for the solution? Host images for the private registry.
Is this a use case for a cluster of HPE SimpliVity 380H models?
providing both the compute and storage resources for a virtualization farm
Is this an essential component to include in the control layer of a software defined infrastructure (SDI)?
Agile business applications
Is this a correct principle for designing vSAN on HPE Synergy?
Drives for storage pools should use RAID 6.
