A customer's growing environment has a mix of HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8200 with 10K HDD, HPE 3PAR StoreServ 9450, and HPE 3PAR StoreServ 2080D with 3 tiers of storage deployed in the same data center. The customer needs to optimize performance by being able to move workloads to the most appropriate array as needed.
Which solution enables the customer to achieve this goal?
A. HPE OneView to automate cpg migration based on user defined policies.
B. HPE 3PAR Remote Copy in a Synchronous Long Distance topology.
C. HPE Smart SAN to provide autonomic federated management.
D. HPE 3PAR Peer Motion with SSMC to manage storage federation.
A customer wants to implement a management and monitoring tool for an HPE B-series SAN switch environment. You plan to recommend the HPE SAN Network Advisor.
Which information about the customer's environment will help you to decide which edition to recommend?
A. FCIP support
B. Amount of used fabrics
C. FCoE support
D. Fabric OS version
A customer needs to implement a new SAN fabric for their growing environment. The new SAN should provide a high performance and port-efficient network with many-to-many connectivity. Because of changing requirements and the possible acquisition of another company in the near feature, the customer cannot predict the I/O traffic pattern within the SAN. The customer is also concerned about availability.
Which type of SAN topology should you recommend?
A. cascaded fabric
B. meshed fabric
C. core-edge fabric
D. single-switch fabric
A customer needs a backup solution for their virtualized environment. The backup solution must be agentless, hypervisor independent, and integrated with HPE storage solutions. The solution must support Nimble snapshot and replication management.
Which product meets the customer requirements?
A. Veeam Backup and Replication
B. CommVault Simpana IntelliSnap
C. HPE StoreOnce Recovery Manager Central
D. Micro Focus Data Protector
Which value does a Nimble solution provide in addition to other HPE storage solutions?
A. Flat support pricing for all hardware components
B. Future-proofed for newer technologies
C. All-inclusive software licensing over 5 years and additional capacity upgrades
D. Upfront option for free controller upgrade after 3 years
During a technology workshop, the customer asks about differences between converged and Fibre Channel switches.
What would be a benefit of using FlexFabric switches in a fibre channel storage environment?
A. support for six Ethernet and two Fibre Channel, or six Ethernet and two iSCSI or eight Ethernet adapters per server
B. zones can be configured for QoS with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basis
C. in-flight compression and encryption provides efficient link utilization and security
D. support for combining multiple physical switches into one virtual switch with a single IP address
A customer migrates their infrastructure from a 3rd party storage to an HPE Nimble environment. During an architecture workshop, you discuss VMvision with the customer and the system engineer. Which statement is correct when implementing performance monitoring using VMvision?
A. SNMP trap service has to be configured to send traps to Infosight and integrate performance data using VMvision.
B. VMvision is an agentless integration into Infosight and needs only the vCenter Server Appliance credentials to connect.
C. VMware vSphere Storage APIs Array Integration (VAAI) has to be configured to combine storage and VM performance metrics.
D. HPE Nimble Service Processor collects relevant per-VM performance data and sends them using SSL port 443 to VMvision.
A customer needs to update the local servers at each of their branches to keep up with the increasing demand for high-performance storage. The customer cannot afford to move to a SAN at each site. Which HPE storage technology can increase performance for this customer?
A. SmartPath
B. Persistent Cache
C. Adaptive Flash Cache
D. SmartCache
A customer has an HPE 3PAR StoreServ with FC and SSD drives who would like to improve the performance for random reads. Which HPE 3PAR StoreServ feature would provide better read performance?
A. Adaptive Flash Cache
B. Deduplication
C. Express Layout
D. SmartCache
Due to industry regulations, a customer is required to store backups at a separate data center from the company's main data center. The customer's application requires fast backups and quick restores in case of data loss. Which solution allows the customer to meet both industry and application requirements?
A. HPE StoreServ 3PAR in main data center and HPE StoreOnce in both main and secondary data center.
B. HPE StoreServ 3PAR in main and secondary data center with RCIP replication between arrays.
C. HPE Nimble AF series in main data center and Nimble HF series in secondary data center.
D. HPE StoreServ 3PAR in main data center and HPE StoreOnce in secondary data center with RMC.
