HPE0-V13 Designing HPE Software-Defined Infrastructure Solutions Questions and Answers

Is this a benefit of using NetEdit to manage ARubaOS-CX switches?

API-based scripting of the network infrastructure

You are deploying HPE FlexFabric switches in a data center in which a customer uses VMware NSX.

Is this something that you should check on the FlexFabric switches?

ToR switch ports that connect to ESXi hosts permit the ID associated with every VXLAN in NSX.

A customer has a VMware vSphere environment on HPE Synergy. SY480 compute modules are deployed as ESXi hosts in HA clusters.

Is this a benefit of using HPE OneView for vCenter to update the compute module’s firmware? using simple vRealize Orchestrator workflows to perform the upgrade

A customer has a containerized environment that uses Kubernetes. Developers attached a Volume to a pod, and the Volume disappeared when the pod stopped.

Is this a correct way to help the customer preserve data beyond the lifetime of the pod?

Make sure that the Volume has the same name as a Virtual Volume on a backend 3PAR array. You can use an HPE-provided Ansible playbook to correlate the two.

A customer has a Microsoft Hyper-V virtualized environment. You are helping a customer replace some of the hosts with an HPE SimpliVity cluster.

Is this a correct guideline for adding and managing the new cluster?

Obtain scripts from HPE to use with the HPE Deployment Manager with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM).

You are planning a Red Hat Open Container Platform (OCP) deployment on HPE Synergy, following the HPE RA.

Is this a license that you should attach to a worker node?

a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server license based on the number of processors on the node

When a Docker container is run from an image on a Docker host, is this how the container is deployed?

If the image is not stored locally on the host, the host contacts the registry, looks up a host that does have the image, and schedules the container to run on that host.

When a Docker container is run from an image on a Docker host, is this how the container is deployed?

If the image is not stored locally on the host, the image is pulled from Docker Hub or the registry indicated in the run command.

You are proposing HPE Synergy to support a VMware vSphere environment, in which clusters of ESXi hosts provide high availability for workloads such as a web farm, an inventory server, and a database.

Is this a recommended design principle for this use case?

Set the BIOS workload profile for compute modules that will be ESXi hosts to one of the virtualization profiles.

A customer is implementing a Container as a Service (CaaS) solution, and you are helping to provide the infrastructure, including the persistent storage solution.

Does this HPE 3PAR characteristic provide a benefit for the customer’s solution? QoS support

Is this a typical use case for a cluster of HPE SimpliVity 380Gs?

VDI for users who use CAD applications

Is this a correct principle for designing vSAN on HPE Synergy?

Drives for storage pools should use RAID 6.

Is this a benefit of the HPE Nimble plug-in for vCenter?

simplified management for restoring VM clones from vCenter

Is this a characteristic that a platform should provide to help it support and scale up database that supports both OLTP and OLAP workloads?

high memory capacity

Does the HPE OneView for vCenter (OV4VC) plug-in deliver this benefit?

informs the VMware cluster to move the VMs on a server that is experiencing hardware issues before a problem occurs

Is this a use case for deploying Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct on HPE infrastructure?

creating a link between a Microsoft Hyper-V environment and Nimble virtual volumes

Is this a requirement for using the grow cluster feature in HPE OneView for vCenter (OV4VC)?

The existing cluster members are discovered and managed in HPE OneView, but not in vCenter.

A customer has an HPE SimpliVity Federation based on VMware. The customer wants to add self-service catalogs that users can use to establish services built on the SimpliVity cluster. Provisioning services will require workflows that include tasks, including cloning VMs and creating datastores.

Is this a way to achieve this goal?

Deploy vRealize Automation, vRealize Orchestrator, and the HPE plug-in for vRA.

Is this how the Composable Fabric handles traffic at Layer 2?

It uses MAC forwarding table to find the correct forwarding port.

A customer wants to start using containers. They have decided on Docker containers and Kubernetes for managing the containers, but their IT department not have a great deal of expertise in Kubernetes.

The customer requires a packaged solution that supports a private registry and role-based access control. It should also be able to integrate with middleware tools for messaging and CI/CD pipeline management.

The customer needs help sorting through orchestration platform options. Is this correct advice that you can provide?

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) and Docker Enterprise Engine (EE) both meet the customer’s security needs.

A customer has an HPE SimpliVity Federation based on VMware. The customer wants to add self-service catalogs that users can use to establish services built on the SimpliVity cluster. Provisioning services will require workflows that include tasks, including cloning VMs and creating datastores.

Is this a way to achieve this goal?

Deploy HPE Composable Fabric Manager with the VMware and SimpliVity integrations.

Is this a use case for using virtualization instead of a bare metal or containerized deployment?

Obtaining the best performance for a single workload

Is this a use case for deploying Microsoft Storage Spaces Direct on HPE infrastructure?

providing object storage for a high performance computing (HPC) solution
