A customer needs to expand an HPE StoreVirtual VSA based cluster with two additional VSA instances.

What do you need to consider when designing the new VSA instances?

A. They will require downtime to re-balance the resources within the cluster.

B. They must be configured into a new management group.

C. They must be of equal or greater capacity than the existing instances in a cluster.

D. They can only have equal to or smaller capacity compared to the existing instances.

Which HPE storage solution offer a two-tier backup solution for hybrid cloud with optimal recovery time? (Choose two.)

A. Simplivity 380

B. Nimble SF series

C. 3PAR 8000 series

D. StoreOnce with Catalyst

E. Nimble CS series

You are designing a solution that will have a new HPE Synergy frame and an HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8200 storage array with only the built-in ports. This new environment must keep the infrastructure within the data center to a minimum.

Which interconnect module will achieve this goal?

A. Synergy 25-50Gb F8 Switch Module

B. 6125G/XG Ethernet Blade Switch

C. Synergy 20Gb interconnect Link Module

D. Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module

What owns the physical drives in an HPE 3PAR StoreServ Express Layout?

A. a logical disk

B. a chunklet

C. a single node

D. a node pair

You are planning a single-site Nimble solution with iSCSI connectivity. Two 10GbE SFP+ dual port NICS are included in the configuration. You designed an intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) stack with HPE FlexFabric 5900CP switches.

Which statements is correct when discussing the IRF limits for this configuration?

A. When connecting an iSCSI storage to an IRF stack, a minimum of four 10GbE ports must be used per switch.

B. A maximum of two switches can be used in an IRF stack when connecting storage.

C. In an IRF stack with storage connectivity, the 40GbE ports cannot be used.

D. The used IRF ports for iSCSI traffic have to be configured as 10GbE converged ports.

Which fabric design is shown?

A. meshed

B. single fabric

C. cascaded

D. core-edge

A customer runs several HPE 3PAR StoreServ systems in their environment using Data at Rest Encryption. The customer needs to add an HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 system to the storage pool and an external key manager for all systems. What is a requirement for this solution?

A. HPE ESKM FIPS mode must be disabled by the Administrator.

B. Boot devices of the existing HPE 3PAR StoreServ arrays must be replaced with self-encrypting drives.

C. Data on the existing HPE 3PAR StoreServ arrays must be decrypted and re-encrypted with new keys.

D. All drives of the new HPE 3PAR StoreServ array must be self-encrypting.

A customer with a restricted budget has an existing HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8200 using 10k Fast Class and Nearline drives. Because of the implementation of new applications, the workload has shifted to be read intensive. Therefore, they want to increase the read I/O performance.

What should they add to their environment?

A. a tier with 15K Fast Class 600 GB drives for new cpg, configure AO policy to take advantage of new resources.

B. two 400Gb SSD drives and enable Adaptive Flash Cache

C. a tier with 15k Fast Class drives and implement thin provisioned deduplicated virtual volumes

D. a tier of SSD and implement thin provisioned virtual volumes

Which statement is correct when comparing functionalities of the AF and HF series in the Nimble storage portfolio? (Choose two.)

A. HF series supports storage snapshots and replication using Veeam Backup and Replication, HF and AF series support storage snapshots only.

B. HF series has a dedicated read cache and AF series does not have a dedicated read cache.

C. Zero Copy Clones are a unique feature of All-Flash arrays within the Nimble portfolio.

D. >99.9999% availability is measured and guaranteed for AF and HF series arrays.

In an ISCSI based storage system proof-of-concept project, the customer is not satisfied with the performance of their video streaming application. What would you recommend to the customer to optimize the existing environment?

A. Enable hardware iSCSI initiator

B. Enable jumbo frames on required components.

C. Increase the switch buffer to buffer credits.

D. Consolidate the heterogeneous switches in the network.
