According to the HPE SimpliVity documents and learning resources, the HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen10 is the only model that can be equipped with the HPE mniStack Accelerator card. The HPE mniStack Accelerator card is a PCIe-based card that provides hardware acceleration for data compression and deduplication. It also enables the HPE SimpliVity RapidDR feature, which automates and simplifies disaster recovery operations. The other models, such as the HPE SimpliVity 2600, the HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen10 H, and the HPE SimpliVity 325 Gen10, do not support the HPE mniStack Accelerator card. They rely on software-based data efficiency and backup features.

Question 2
Which functionality does HPE InfoSight for HPE SimpliVity provide?
Options:
A.
balance workloads across HPE SimpllVity nodes based on utilization
B.
recommendation for guest operating system settings optimization
C.
automated firmware and software upgrades for registered customers
D.
monitoring of virtual machine latency
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Explanation:
According to the HPE InfoSight for HPE SimpliVity Getting Started document1, HPE InfoSight provides the following functionality for HPE SimpliVity:
Monitoring of cluster, node, and virtual machine performance, capacity, and health
Reporting of system configuration, inventory, and compliance
Analysis of trends, anomalies, and root causes
Prediction of future resource needs and potential issues
Recommendation of best practices and optimization actions
One of the key features of HPE InfoSight is the ability to monitor the latency of virtual machines, which is the time it takes for a request to be processed by the system. Latency is an important indicator of the performance and efficiency of the system, and HPE InfoSight provides detailed and granular data on the latency of each virtual machine, as well as the breakdown of the latency components, such as CPU, memory, network, and storage. HPE InfoSight also provides alerts and notifications when the latency exceedsthe predefined thresholds, and helps to identify and resolve the root causes of the latency issues.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. monitoring of virtual machine latency, as this is one of the functionality that HPE InfoSight provides for HPE SimpliVity. References:

Question 3
At which level you can apply a backup policy?
Options:
A.
cluster
B.
datacenter
C.
vCenter Server
D.
datastore
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Explanation:
You can apply a backup policy at the datastore level, as this is the level at which HPE SimpliVity manages the virtual machines and their backups1. A backup policy consists of one or more rules that specify the destination, frequency, and retention of the backups. You can assign a backup policy to a datastore, and all the virtual machines in that datastore will inherit the backup policy. You can also override the backup policy for individual virtual machines, if needed2. Applying a backup policy at the cluster level (option A), the datacenter level (option B), or the vCenter Server level (option C) is not possible, as these are not the levels at which HPE SimpliVity manages the virtual machines and their backups. These levels are used for organizing and managing the ESXi hosts and the HPE SimpliVity nodes, but not for applying backup policies. References:
