HPE2-K45 Exam Dumps : Using HPE SimpliVity

 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. References: Using HPE SimpliVity Official Certification Study Guide, page 29; HPE SimpliVity networking explained; HPE SimpliVity Releases

According to the HPE SimpliVity Administration Guide1, the file level restore option allows you to recover individual files or folders from a backup of a virtual machine. Thisoption is useful when you need to restore a specific file that was accidentally deleted or corrupted, without affecting the rest of the virtual machine. The file level restore option supports both Windows and Linux based virtual machines, and can be performed using the HPE SimpliVity plugin in the vSphere Web Client. The file level restore option creates a temporary virtual machine from the backup, mounts the virtual disks, and copies the selected files or folders to a destination of your choice. The temporary virtual machine is then deleted automatically.

The other options are not suitable for recovering a single file from a Linux based virtual machine. Restoring a virtual machine from the backup would overwrite the entire virtual machine with the backup data, which may not be desirable or necessary. Moving a virtual machine from DR site to the primary site would not help if the file was deleted from both sites. Reverting to the SimpliVity snapshot would also overwrite the entire virtual machine with the snapshot data, which may not be the latest or the most relevant version. References:

The correct answer is A. All VMs on the node restart in a node where the replica resides. This is because HPE SimpliVity uses a replication factor (RF) of 2 or 3 to ensure that each virtual machine (VM) has one or two copies of its data on different nodes in the cluster. If an HPE OmniStack Virtual Controller (VC) fails, the VMs on that node lose access to their primary data, but they can still access their replica data on another node. The vSphere HA feature detects the VC failure and restarts the VMs on the node where the replica resides, ensuring data availability and continuity1.

The other options are not correct. Option B is incorrect because HPE SimpliVity Intelligent Workload Optimizer (IWO) is a feature that balances the VMs across the cluster based on CPU and memory utilization, not on VC failures2. Option C is incorrect because the IP address of the VC does not fail over to another node, but remains associated with the failed node. The VMs on the failed node are restarted on another node with a different VC IP address3. Option D is incorrect because the VMs on the node do not go on standby mode, but are restarted on another node to resume their operations.
