You are sizing an HPE Alletra 5030. Unless otherwise indicated by the HPE sizer or the customer's requirements, HPE best practices state that you should default to which minimum FDR calculation?
Answer : A
Detailed Explanatio n:
Rationale for Correct Answe r:
In Alletra 5000/6000 sizing, the Failure Domain Reserve (FDR) is used to account for rebuild overhead in case of drive failure. HPE best practices define that, unless otherwise directed by the sizing tool or customer requirements, the minimum FDR value should be set to 23% of the largest drive size. This ensures enough reserve capacity for fault tolerance and sustained performance during rebuilds.
Distractors:
B/C: Low-read latency is influenced by cache and workload profile, not by arbitrary FDR percentages.
D: Using the smallest drive is incorrect --- rebuild impact must be sized against the largest drive.
Key Concept: FDR sizing based on 23% of largest drive = HPE best practice.
Your customer has 2 Alletra 6000 arrays configured for asynchronous replication. The facilities team is planning grid maintenance in the datacenter hosting the source array. They want to proactively move all host I/O to the target array.
Which action needs to be done on the Alletra group level to move the host I/O to the other datacenter?
Answer : A
A financial services company is planning to upgrade its data center infrastructure. Their considerations are:
Budget Management: Prefer one-time expense, avoid variable costs.
Flexibility: Growth planned in yearly budget cycles.
Ownership: Want to own equipment outright.
Operational Control: Full control of equipment lifecycle and customization.
Which procurement option best meets these needs?
Answer : D
Detailed Explanatio n:
Rationale for Correct Answe r:
The requirements align with a Capital Purchase --- outright ownership with a one-time CapEx expense. This provides complete lifecycle control and no ongoing payments, fitting the financial services company's budgeting and governance model.
Distractors:
A: Operating lease is OpEx, variable payments, and no ownership.
B: Capital lease provides eventual ownership but still requires periodic lease payments.
C: Consumption model (e.g., GreenLake) uses variable OpEx, opposite of the customer's request.
Key Concept: CapEx model = one-time purchase, ownership, full control.
Your customer is using 2 HPE StoreOnce appliances across 2 sites with replication enabled for disaster recovery. They are concerned about the fact that the StoreOnce administrators have full access to the systems, which allows them to delete backup copies on these systems.
What needs to be used to address the concern of your customer?
Answer : A
Detailed Explanatio n:
Rationale for Correct Answe r:
HPE StoreOnce Dual Authorization prevents a single administrator from deleting, expiring, or modifying backup data. Instead, any destructive action requires approval from a second administrator, mitigating insider threats and accidental deletions. This is the correct feature for immutability protection in a replicated StoreOnce environment.
Distractors:
B (CHAP): Used for iSCSI authentication, not backup immutability.
C: Encryption protects data confidentiality, not accidental deletion.
D: Resource restrictions are policy-driven but don't enforce dual control over destructive actions.
Key Concept: Dual Authorization for ransomware and insider-threat protection on StoreOnce.
A customer experienced a replication network outage during setup of Alletra 6000 arrays. They want to allow HPE support remote root access to troubleshoot once the outage is resolved.
How can this be enabled?
Answer : A
While attempting to increase an upstream volume size for an Alletra 6000 Peer Persistence setup from local web management, you are facing an error that prevents you from completing the task.
Which action is required to complete the task successfully?
Answer : C
Detailed Explanatio n:
Rationale for Correct Answe r:
In Alletra 6000 Peer Persistence environments, operations like resizing Peer Persistence volumes must be performed via the HPE Data Services Cloud Console (DSCC), which manages volume collections and replication consistency groups. Attempting to grow the upstream volume locally will fail because the changes need to propagate across both sites consistently.
Distractors:
A/B: Removing upstream or downstream volumes would break replication and is not required.
D: Expanding in VMware only extends the VMFS datastore, not the underlying replicated volume.
Key Concept: Peer Persistence volume resizing is done in DSCC, not local web GUI.
An HPE Alletra 6030 with 138TB flash kit needs a storage expansion. The BOM lists only a 46TB Expansion Shelf, including price.
What should you take into account?
Answer : A
Detailed Explanatio n:
Rationale for Correct Answe r:
Alletra 6000 expansion shelves connect via 24G SAS back-end connectivity. The BOM must include the required SAS cables to properly attach the shelf. If only the shelf is listed, it's incomplete --- SAS connectivity accessories must be added.
Distractors:
B: The supported max capacity is higher than 138TB + 46TB, so it won't exceed limits.
C: Expansion shelves don't use OCP adapters; they rely on SAS backend ports.
D: QSFP+ DACs are used for front-end networking (iSCSI/FC), not SAS shelf expansion.
Key Concept: Alletra 6000 expansions require 24G SAS cables included in the BOM.
