A system administrator is analyzing a server that failed to boot. The Integrated Management Log (IML) displays the following error:
Severity: Critical
Class: POST
Description: 231 – POST Error: 338-HPE Smart Array – Unsupported Storage
Connection. The controller is not connected to any
supported drives. System Halted.
What is the correct action plan to resolve this issue?
- A . Update the iLO 5 firmware to the latest version.
- B . Replace the Smart Array P408i-a controller module.
- C . Verify the storage cabling between the controller and the drive backplane is correctly seated.
- D . Update the System ROM (BIOS/UEFI) to support the controller.
A system administrator is analyzing a server in a "Degraded" state. The iLO Health Summary shows the "Storage" subsystem is the cause.
Which tool should the administrator use to get detailed information on the logical drives, RAID levels, and the status of individual physical drives?
- A . iLO 5 > System Information > Memory
- B . iLO 5 > Integrated Management Log (IML)
- C . Smart Storage Administrator (SSA)
- D . System Utilities (F9) > System Configuration

A customer is changing their data center management policy. The new requirement is that all iLO management traffic *must* be on a physically separate network from the server’s production OS traffic. The server is currently using the "iLO Shared Network Port."
What configuration must be modified to meet this new requirement?
- A . In iLO Network Settings, assign the iLO a static IP address in a different VLAN.
- B . In iLO Network Settings, change the "Network Interface Adapter" from "Shared Network Port" to "Dedicated".
- C . In the OS, uninstall the iLO CHIF driver to break the shared connection.
- D . In System Utilities (F9), change the "Network Teaming" to "Disabled."
An administrator is validating a new server installation. The server has dual processors and 12 DIMMs.
During POST, the administrator sees a warning:
POST Warning:
210 – Memory Channel interleaving is disabled –
Performance is not optimal.
Action: Consult documentation to correct DIMM population.
What is the root cause and how is it validated?
- A . The DIMMs are not populated in a balanced, symmetric way across both processors’ memory channels. The administrator must validate the population against the server’s DIMM slot diagram.
- B . The "Memory Interleaving" setting is disabled in the BIOS/UEFI. The administrator must enter F9 to enable it.
- C . One of the DIMMs is faulty, and the server has disabled interleaving as a precaution. The administrator must check the IML for a DIMM error.
- D . The server’s Workload Profile is set to "Low Latency," which disables interleaving. The administrator must change the profile.
A customer provides these requirements for a new VMware ESXi host:
– Must boot from a redundant, non-HDD device.
– All 8 front SFF drive bays must be reserved for vSAN datastores.
– The boot device should not consume a standard PCIe slot if possible.
Which component should be included in the server design to meet these requirements?
- A . An HPE 10GbE SFP+ network adapter.
- B . An HPE NS204i-p NVMe OS Boot Device.
- C . An HPE Smart Array P408i-a controller.
- D . Two 2.5-inch SATA SSDs.
A system administrator is configuring an HPE ProLiant Gen10 server for a High-Performance Computing (HPC) workload. The application requires the lowest possible CPU latency and is not sensitive to power consumption.
Which "Workload Profile" in the System Utilities (F9) is the advanced configuration designed to meet this specific requirement?
- A . Virtualization – Max Performance
- B . Low Latency
- C . General Throughput Compute
- D . General Power Efficient

A Storage Administrator is configuring an HPE ProLiant Gen10 server for a VMware vSAN cluster. This workload requires the Smart Array controller to pass the raw physical drives directly to the hypervisor, disabling all hardware RAID functions.
Which advanced configuration mode must the administrator set on the Smart Array controller?
- A . RAID 0 Mode
- B . Mixed Mode
- C . HBA Mode
- D . FIPS Mode
