A System Administrator is looking to streamline hardware management within their VMware vCenter environment. They want to perform tasks such as firmware updates, hardware monitoring, and OS image deployment directly from the vSphere Client.
Which HPE solution should the administrator deploy to integrate these hardware management capabilities into vCenter?
- A . HPE InfoSight for Virtualized Environments
- B . HPE OneView for VMware vCenter (OV4VC)
- C . HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management
- D . HPE iLO Amplifier Pack
An administrator is deploying the HPE OneView for VMware vCenter appliance using the OVF template wizard. They encounter the network configuration step.
What is the minimum network configuration requirement to successfully deploy the appliance?
- A . Two networks must be configured: one for vCenter communication and one for iLO communication.
- B . No networks are required during deployment; they can be configured via the console after boot.
- C . At least one network (Network 1) must be configured during deployment, typically for the management network.
- D . Three networks must be configured: Management, Storage, and vMotion.
An AI infrastructure engineer is troubleshooting network congestion during the training of a large generative AI model. They observe that the standard Ethernet "IP Explicit Congestion Notification" (ECN) mechanism is failing to prevent buffer overflows on the switches.
Why is standard IP ECN often insufficient for "bursty" AI training flows?
- A . IP ECN only works on TCP traffic, and AI training uses exclusively UDP multicast.
- B . IP ECN is incompatible with Jumbo Frames, which are required for AI workloads.
- C . IP ECN relies on the destination to receive a flagged packet and signal the source to slow down, which creates a reaction delay that is often too slow for the rapid onset of AI bursts.
- D . IP ECN shuts down the switch port entirely, causing link flaps that disrupt training.
An IT Director is comparing deployment models for a new enterprise AI initiative. They are evaluating a "Build-Your-Own" (BYO) approach versus the HPE Private Cloud AI turnkey solution.
According to HPE’s analysis, what is the expected "Time to Value" (deployment time after procurement) for a BYO approach compared to the HPE turnkey solution?
- A . BYO takes days, while Turnkey takes months due to shipping delays.
- B . Both approaches take approximately the same amount of time (weeks) to deploy.
- C . BYO takes months, while Turnkey takes hours (once received).
- D . BYO is faster because it avoids vendor lock-in delays.
A Performance Engineer is analyzing the "Global Link Load" metrics of an HPE Slingshot fabric during a massive All-to-All communication benchmark.
Based on HPE performance testing data, how does Slingshot’s bandwidth utilization during All-to-All communication at scale compare to its theoretical peak?
- A . It realizes bandwidth close to the theoretical peak (nearly 25 GB/sec per link in tests).
- B . It achieves approximately 50% of theoretical peak due to routing overhead.
- C . It drops to 10% utilization due to extreme congestion.
- D . It fluctuates wildly between 20% and 80% due to lack of congestion control.
An HPC System Administrator is managing a large cluster of HPE Cray XD nodes using HPE Performance Cluster Manager (HPCM). A recent OS upgrade on a subset of compute nodes has caused application compatibility issues, and the administrator needs to revert these nodes to the previous working OS version immediately.
Which feature of HPCM facilitates this rapid rollback?
- A . The ability to restore earlier versions from the secure image repository, where HPCM tracks updates and stores changes to originals.
- B . The "Snapshot Revert" function within the BMC of each individual node.
- C . The automated PXE boot process that pulls the original ISO from the vendor’s website.
- D . The use of HPE OneView Server Profile Templates to re-apply the old firmware baseline.
An administrator wants to ensure that all clusters in their environment adhere to specific industry compliance standards (like CIS Benchmarks). They want to define a policy once and have it automatically monitored and enforced across all managed clusters.
Which feature of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (ACM) enables this "Policy-Based Governance"?
- A . Submariner networking
- B . Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) policies
- C . Application Lifecycle channels
- D . Dynamic Search and Visual Web Terminal
A System Administrator is preparing the physical infrastructure for a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) deployment. They need to deploy the HPE OneView appliance to manage the underlying hardware.
According to the HPE Reference Architecture for VCF, where should the HPE OneView appliance be deployed?
- A . On the Cloud Builder VM as a nested container.
- B . On a dedicated external management server outside the VCF cluster.
- C . On the SDDC Manager VM as a service extension.
- D . On one of the HPE ProLiant DL servers chosen for the management domain.
