Question 1
Your customer asks you if it is possible to perform HPE Synergy initial setup remotely.
How should you respond?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Remote HPE Synergy setup is possible if HPE Composer 2 is used and a DHCP server is available in the management network
HPE Synergy initial setup does not always need someone standing at the frame. When the frames use HPE Synergy Composer2 and a DHCP server is available on the management network, the Composer obtains an IPv4 address automatically, and the administrator can reach the HPE Synergy Console over the network to complete hardware setup and initial configuration remotely. Without Composer2 and DHCP, initial setup is performed through a local connection to the frame, such as a laptop on the front panel port or the Composer front panel display connection.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. There is no factory-enabled option for a secure remote connection to the Frame Link Module that performs initial setup.
- C. Remote initial setup is supported with Composer2 and DHCP, so a local console is not the only method.
- D. Remote setup is a built-in capability and does not depend on buying an additional services package.
Question 2
Your customer built a server profile for HPE Synergy Gen10 server and configured boot mode to Legacy BIOS.
Which feature is not available for this Compute Module?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Secure boot
Secure Boot is a UEFI feature. It verifies the digital signatures of boot loaders and drivers against keys held in UEFI firmware, so it can be enabled only when the server boots in UEFI or UEFI optimized mode. When a server profile sets the boot mode to Legacy BIOS, Secure Boot is unavailable for that Compute Module. Boot from SAN, workload profiles and BIOS settings management all continue to work in Legacy BIOS mode, because none of them depends on the UEFI boot process.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Boot from SAN is supported in Legacy BIOS mode as well as in UEFI modes.
- C. Workload profiles are BIOS settings and remain available regardless of the boot mode.
- D. HPE OneView manages BIOS settings through the server profile in any boot mode.
Question 3
How can your customer implement HPE OneView so that it can be used to manage an HPE ProLiant server and HPE BladeSystem?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. As a virtual appliance running on the supported hypervisor
For HPE ProLiant rack servers and HPE BladeSystem c-Class enclosures, HPE OneView is delivered as a virtual appliance. The administrator deploys the appliance image on a supported hypervisor, such as VMware ESXi or Microsoft Hyper-V, powers it on and completes initial setup through the browser interface. The appliance is a self-contained system with its own operating system and database, so it is not installed as an application on a general-purpose server. For HPE Synergy, the same software runs on the HPE Synergy Composer hardware module instead.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. HPE OneView is not installed as an application on a CentOS Linux server.
- C. HPE OneView is not installed as an application on a Windows server.
- D. HPE OneView is not sold as a physical appliance based on a ProLiant DL360 Gen10.
Question 4
You originally configured boot mode for HPE ProLiant Gen10 server to 'Legacy BIOS' in an HPE OneView server profile and deployed an operating system. A few weeks later, you change the boot mode to the 'UEFI optimized' to leverage some features provided by this mode.
What must you do next?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. reinstall an operating system, as UEFI is using different drive format than Legacy BIOS
The boot mode must match the way the operating system was installed. An operating system installed in Legacy BIOS mode uses an MBR partitioned boot disk and a legacy boot loader, while UEFI boot expects a GPT partitioned disk with an EFI system partition. HPE documentation warns that changing the boot mode can prevent the server from booting the installed operating system. After switching the server profile from Legacy BIOS to UEFI optimized, the operating system must therefore be reinstalled so that it boots in the new mode.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Resetting iLO does not change how the installed operating system boots, and the new boot mode is applied through the profile.
- C. Resetting BIOS settings to defaults does not convert the installed operating system to UEFI boot.
- D. Resetting BIOS settings through the profile still leaves an operating system that was installed for Legacy BIOS.
Question 5
Which statement regarding HPE OneView backup restore is true?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Only users with Infrastructure Administrator privileges can restore an HPE OneView backup
Restoring an HPE OneView appliance from a backup file is restricted to users with the Infrastructure administrator role. The Backup administrator role can create and download backup files and run backup scripts, but it cannot restore the appliance. A restore replaces the entire appliance configuration and database with the contents of the backup, and while the restore runs the appliance is unavailable to users. A backup is not a tool for recovering individual items such as a single server profile.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Users cannot log in to the appliance while a restore is in progress.
- B. A backup restores the whole appliance, not individual resources such as one server profile.
- C. The Backup administrator role can create backups but cannot restore them.
Question 6
Which statement about a server profile for an Apollo system is true?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Fibre Channel connections can be defined
Apollo systems are managed in HPE OneView like ProLiant rack servers, not as servers inside a Virtual Connect environment. Their server profiles can include Fibre Channel connections, which are used to attach SAN storage volumes to the server through its own Fibre Channel adapters. Because no Virtual Connect modules are involved, these connections use the adapters' physical addresses. Rack servers have no enclosure group, and both UEFI and Legacy BIOS boot modes remain available in the profile.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Apollo and rack servers do not use an enclosure group, so none is selected.
- C. UEFI optimized is not the only boot mode; other boot modes can be selected.
- D. Virtual MAC addresses and WWNs require Virtual Connect, which Apollo systems do not use.
Question 7
Your customer runs VMware ESXi on an HPE Synergy platform. The ESXi systems must have access to 50 VLANs initially. However, this is a dynamic environment, and more VLANs will be added in the future.
They want to add more networks for virtual machines, but they do not want to modify the HPE Virtual Connect configuration.
Which type of the network should the customer define?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Tunnel
A tunnel network passes traffic for many VLANs through Virtual Connect without examining or changing the VLAN tags. It uses a dedicated set of uplink ports, and the VLAN tagging is handled by the upstream switches and by the hypervisor's virtual switches. Because Virtual Connect does not need a separate network definition for each VLAN, the customer can add new VLANs for virtual machines on the ESXi hosts and the upstream switches without modifying the Virtual Connect configuration. This suits a dynamic environment where VLANs are added often.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. An untagged network carries a single untagged traffic stream, not many VLANs.
- B. An internal network stays inside the logical interconnect and has no uplinks, so it does not carry many external VLANs.
- D. Each tagged network maps to one VLAN, so new VLANs would require Virtual Connect changes.
Question 8
Which licenses are optional to be purchased separately for HPE Synergy?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. FC Upgrade licenses
Fibre Channel upgrade licenses are an optional purchase for HPE Synergy. They enable Fibre Channel functionality on interconnect modules that support it, and they are needed only when the customer uses native Fibre Channel on those modules. If they were not part of the original order, they can be ordered separately later and added to HPE OneView. HPE OneView licensing for Synergy compute modules is included with the hardware, Synergy Virtual Connect modules do not need separate Virtual Connect licenses, and HPE OneView Global Dashboard is available at no charge.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. HPE OneView Global Dashboard does not require purchased licenses.
- C. HPE OneView licensing is included with HPE Synergy compute modules.
- D. Synergy Virtual Connect modules do not require separate Virtual Connect licenses.
Question 9
You try to add a new connection within a server profile, but an operation fails when you try to commit the changes.
What is a possible reason?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The server is powered on
Some server profile changes can be applied only while the server hardware is powered off. Adding or removing a connection changes the network and storage adapter configuration presented to the server, so HPE OneView requires the server to be powered off before the change is committed. If the server is still powered on, the update fails. Powering off the server, applying the profile change and then powering the server back on completes the operation.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Exceeding a connection limit is prevented while the connection is being configured, so it does not explain a failure when the change is committed.
- C. Server profiles for licensed hardware do not fail on a connection change because of licensing.
- D. A powered-off server is the required state for adding a connection, so it does not cause the failure.
Question 10
Your customer is considering HPE Synergy as a hardware platform for virtualization workload. The customer environment is very dynamic, and they often have to modify hypervisor networking.
Which resource provided by HPE should you discuss with this customer?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. PowerShell Library for HPE OneView allows scripted environment modification
A customer whose hypervisor networking changes often benefits from automating those changes rather than repeating them by hand. The PowerShell Library for HPE OneView exposes the HPE OneView REST API as cmdlets, so administrators can script the creation and modification of networks, network sets and server profile connections on HPE Synergy and rerun those scripts whenever the environment changes. Scripted changes are repeatable, quick to apply across many compute modules and easy to fold into existing change processes.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Global Dashboard aggregates monitoring and inventory across appliances and does not modify the networking of individual environments.
- B. The vCenter integration surfaces HPE OneView information in vCenter, but scripted modification through the HPE OneView API is the resource that addresses frequent environment changes here.
- D. Image Streamer deploys operating system images to compute modules and is not a tool for ongoing changes to hypervisor networking.
Question 11
You are implementing an HPE Synergy solution with multiple frames in one management ring. Image Streamer is not a part of this solution.
How can an IPv4 address pool defined by the administrator be used in HPE OneView?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. to provide static IP addresses to iLOs and interconnect modules if applicable
In HPE Synergy, an administrator-defined IPv4 address pool, created as a subnet with one or more address ranges, is assigned in the enclosure group as the management address source. HPE OneView then hands out static management addresses from that pool to the Compute Module iLOs and, where applicable, to interconnect modules that need management addresses. This gives predictable management addressing across all frames in the management ring without relying on DHCP. The pool is not used for operating system, storage system or logical resource addressing in a solution without Image Streamer.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Without Image Streamer, HPE OneView does not assign operating system addresses from the pool.
- B. Logical interconnects and logical enclosures are logical resources and do not receive IP addresses.
- D. Storage systems are added with their own management addresses, not addresses from the pool.
