HPE0-V13 Designing HPE Software-Defined Infrastructure Solutions Questions and Answers

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 HPE Composable Fabric Manager with the VMware and SimpliVity integrations.

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)

Is this a use case for deploying Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct on HPE infrastructure?

providing object storage for a high performance computing (HPC) solution

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

because VVol acts as plug-ins, integrating array monitoring and management on vCenter

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

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.

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 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?

The controller for drives should be in HBA only mode.

A customer needs a new infrastructure solution for its VMware vSphere environment.

Is this a valid proposal to give the customer the benefits of cluster aware management with HPE OneView for vCenter (OV4VC)?

HPE Synergy solution with Virtual Connect (VC) modules

A customer needs a new infrastructure solution for its VMware vSphere environment.

Is this a valid proposal to give the customer the benefits of cluster aware management with HPE OneView for vCenter (OV4VC)?

HPE ProLiant DL servers with HPE ILO Advanced licenses

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

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

storage management actions integrated into vCenter workflows

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

Agile business applications

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 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 Persistent Volumes (PV) that are dynamically provisioned through OCP.

Is this a requirement for using the grow cluster feature in HPE OneView for vCenter (OV4VC)?

The existing cluster members are discovered and managed in HPE OneView, but not in vCenter.

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.

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.

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

simplified management for restoring VM clones from vCenter

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?

Set the BIOS workload profile for compute modules that will be ESXi hosts to one of the virtualization profiles.

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 only recommended for latency sensitive workloads if the HPE SimpliVity 325 model is used.

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
