The storage administrator requires the WWPN for 10 servers that have not yet been deployed. The servers are in transit. Company policy is to use Virtual Identities on the SAN in case a server must
be replaced.
How can this requirement be met?
Answer : C
To meet the storage administrator's requirement for the WWPN (World Wide Port Name) for servers that are in transit, the best approach is to create a profile in advance for each server and assign it once the server is discovered. This method aligns with the use of Virtual Identities on the SAN, which allows for flexibility in case a server needs to be replaced.
Here's how this can be accomplished:
Create Virtual Identity Profiles: Before the servers arrive, create a Virtual Identity profile for each server within the management software that handles SAN configurations.
Assign WWPNs: Within each profile, assign a unique WWPN that will be used by the server's Fibre Channel ports when connecting to the SAN.
Deploy Servers: Once the servers are deployed and discovered by the management system, the pre-created profiles can be assigned to them.
Activate Profiles: Activating the profiles will apply the Virtual Identities, including the WWPNs, to the servers, allowing them to be identified on the SAN.
A Hyper-V deployment of OpenManage Enterprise is currently managing 2,000 devices. Users are complaining about poor performance from the UI.
What is a troubleshooting step to consider?
Answer : B
For a Hyper-V deployment of OpenManage Enterprise managing a large number of devices, ensuring adequate resources is crucial for optimal performance. One troubleshooting step to consider is to ensure that a minimum of eight virtual processors are allocated to the OpenManage Enterprise virtual appliance.
Here's why this is important:
Virtual Processors: The number of virtual processors (vCPUs) assigned to a virtual machine (VM) directly affects its ability to handle concurrent tasks. OpenManage Enterprise, when managing thousands of devices, requires sufficient processing power to maintain smooth operation of the UI and backend processes.

After onboarding a device, what are the recommended actions to apply a VLAN template with OpenManage Enterprise?
Answer : B
Create VLAN Template: The first step is to create a VLAN template within OpenManage Enterprise. This involves defining the VLAN ID and any associated settings such as name, description, and VLAN type.
Configure VLAN Settings: Once the template is created, you need to configure the VLAN settings according to your network design. This may include setting up access or trunk modes, allowed VLANs on trunks, and other relevant settings.
Deploy Template on Modular Server: The final step is to deploy the VLAN template on the modular server. This action applies the VLAN configuration to the server interfaces, ensuring that the server can communicate on the specified VLANs.

On which virtualization platforms, other than VMware vSphere, can OpenManage Enterprise be deployed?
Answer : B
OpenManage Enterprise can be deployed on virtualization platforms such as Microsoft Hyper-V and Red Hat KVM, in addition to VMware vSphere. These platforms are supported for the deployment of OpenManage Enterprise, providing flexibility for users to choose the virtualization environment that best fits their infrastructure.
An OpenManage Enterprise administrator is performing updates using the out-of-band method but the task fails. The iDRAC logs show that the job was scheduled successfully, but the firmware
download task failed. The network team has determined that a firewall setting is the problem.
What is preventing the update?
Answer : D
When performing out-of-band updates using OpenManage Enterprise and the task fails due to a firewall setting, despite the iDRAC logs indicating that the job was scheduled successfully, it is typically because iDRAC access is blocked to the Internet. This blockage prevents the firmware download task from completing successfully.
The update process involves several steps, and here's how the firewall setting can impact it:
Refer to Exhibit:
An OpenManage Enterprise environment contains both Dell EMC 13G and 14G PowerEdge servers and an online catalog that is configured as shown.
A Device Manager is tasked with creating a firmware baseline using Catalog1 for all the server infrastructure. During the task, they find that they are only able to select the 14G PowerEdge servers in
the environment.
What is causing the problem?
Answer : B
Understanding the Catalog Configuration: The online catalog, as shown in the exhibit, is configured to source the latest component versions from Dell.com. This catalog is named 'Catalog1'.
Identifying the Issue: The Device Manager is unable to select 13G PowerEdge servers when creating a firmware baseline using Catalog1. This indicates that the catalog lacks firmware for 13G servers.
Catalog Contents: Since Catalog1 is set to pull the latest component versions, it is likely that it only includes firmware for the most recent, supported server generations, which in this case appears to be the 14G PowerEdge servers.
Firmware Baseline Creation: Firmware baselines are created to standardize the firmware versions across the server infrastructure. If certain server generations are not included in the catalog, they cannot be selected for the baseline.
Reference to Dell OpenManage Documentation: Dell OpenManage documentation would typically explain how catalogs are associated with server generations and their firmware. It would state that if a catalog does not contain firmware for a particular generation, servers from that generation cannot be included in the baseline.
The exhibit provided context for the issue at hand, showing that Catalog1 is likely tailored for 14G servers, hence the absence of 13G server firmware. This aligns with standard practices for managing server firmware where catalogs are generation-specific to ensure compatibility and supportability.
An OpenManage Enterprise administrator plans to deploy a previously created template on a repurposed server. They want to ensure that the server boots from an ISO once the template is applied so that the OS is installed immediately.
Which share type should the user specify for the Deploy Template wizard?
Answer : A
When deploying a template that includes booting from an ISO in OpenManage Enterprise, specifying the share type is crucial for the server to access and boot from the ISO image. The correct share type to use in the Deploy Template wizard for this purpose is HTTP.
Here's why HTTP is the appropriate choice:
The other options, such as SCP (Secure Copy Protocol), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and CIFS (Common Internet File System), are also used for file transfers but may not be supported for this specific scenario within the Deploy Template wizard of OpenManage Enterprise.
