Which feature enables a non-disruptive environment where host-based multi-pathing software is not affected in the event of a firmware upgrade?
Answer : B
HPE 3PAR Persistent Ports is a feature that enables a non-disruptive environment by allowing host-based multi-pathing software to remain unaffected during events such as firmware upgrades. With Persistent Ports, the active I/O paths are automatically moved to alternate ports if the primary ports are undergoing maintenance or upgrades, ensuring continuous data access and eliminating disruptions.

You are advising a customer on a new backup strategy to deploy HPE StoreOnce.
What should you recommend to ensure the best storage utilization and performance?
Answer : D
When deploying HPE StoreOnce, it is essential to use separate backup targets for different data types to ensure optimal storage utilization and performance. Different data types may have varying deduplication ratios, backup windows, and recovery requirements. By segregating these data types into separate backup targets, the system can more efficiently manage deduplication, compression, and storage allocation, leading to better performance and reduced storage costs.

What is the maximum number of SSDs supported by a 2-node HPE Alletra 9000 system running Alletra OS 9.5?
Answer : C
A customer is planning to connect a new HPE 3PAR StoreServ system to its existing Synergy based
composable infrastructure via direct-attach.
Which tool would be used to manage the storage?
Answer : C
HPE Synergy Composer is the tool used to manage the HPE 3PAR StoreServ system when it is connected to a Synergy-based composable infrastructure via direct-attach. Synergy Composer is powered by HPE OneView and provides a unified interface for managing compute, storage, and networking resources within the Synergy environment. It allows administrators to manage the storage configurations, provisioning, and lifecycle management of the connected HPE 3PAR StoreServ system, ensuring seamless integration with the composable infrastructure.

HPE 3PAR and Synergy Integration
You are installing an HPE 3PAR StoreServ solution and need to integrate the array with the 3rd party monitoring application customer is using.
Which technology can be configured at 3PAR to support forwarding events from the array to the customer's monitoring application?
Answer : C
To integrate an HPE 3PAR StoreServ array with a third-party monitoring application, SNMPv3 (Simple Network Management Protocol version 3) can be configured. SNMPv3 is a protocol that supports the forwarding of events from the array to external monitoring tools. It is a secure and standardized method for managing and monitoring network devices, including storage arrays like HPE 3PAR StoreServ.

A customer migrate their infrastructure from a 3rd party storage to a 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?
Answer : B
VMvision is a feature within HPE InfoSight that provides deep visibility into the performance and resource utilization of virtual machines (VMs) running on HPE Nimble Storage arrays. It offers an agentless approach, meaning it does not require any additional software or agents to be installed on the VMs or hosts. Instead, VMvision leverages the vCenter server appliance credentials to directly gather data from the VMware environment.
Once integrated with vCenter, VMvision can collect and analyze VM-level performance data, such as latency, IOPS, and throughput, in real-time. This data is then correlated with storage performance metrics, allowing administrators to easily identify bottlenecks and optimize VM performance. The agentless nature of VMvision simplifies the deployment process and reduces the management overhead associated with performance monitoring.
Unlike traditional performance monitoring tools that may require configuring SNMP traps or deploying agents on each VM, VMvision's integration with InfoSight streamlines the process by using existing vCenter APIs to gather the necessary data. This approach not only ensures a seamless integration but also enhances the accuracy of the performance insights provided by InfoSight.
