Selected HPE7-V01 ACMX Questions Answers

The correct answer is C. The exhibit shows an HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 configuration based on QLC flash, with raw capacity below the customer’s 450 TB target. The correct capacity adjustment is to increase the number of QLC drives in the system while selecting the sparing policy that maximizes available usable capacity for the intended design. Replacing QLC with TLC is not the right direction for a high-capacity all-flash requirement because QLC media is positioned for dense, cost-efficient capacity expansion. Adding host bus adapters does not increase raw storage capacity, so option A is unrelated to the requirement. Replacing controller nodes is also unnecessary because the problem is media capacity, not controller performance. HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 QuickSpecs identify scale-out capacity characteristics, including maximum raw capacity per shelf, confirming that the platform is intended to scale capacity through shelves and drive population rather than by changing host-connectivity cards. The correct plan is to add QLC capacity to reach the raw-capacity target and adjust sparing appropriately.

The correct answer is D. The proposal contains too many HPE Composer2 appliances for the stated management requirement. HPE Synergy Composer provides the embedded HPE OneView management appliance function for Synergy. For high-availability management, HPE guidance requires Composers of the same type to be paired within the same management ring; the design does not require two Composer2 appliances in every frame simply because there are three frames. HPE documentation states that if redundancy is required, two Composers of the same type must be paired within the same management ring per HPE Synergy system. Option A is wrong because OneView Advanced licenses are not added separately for Virtual Connect modules or D3940 storage modules in the manner stated. Option B is wrong because the compute modules still require appropriate HPE OneView licensing. Option C is also wrong because WWN virtualization and profile mobility are delivered through HPE Virtual Connect and HPE OneView server profiles, not by simply adding standalone 32Gb FC switches. The key proposal correction is reducing the excessive Composer2 count while preserving redundant management.

The correct answer is A because a traditional VMware design built on HPE Synergy and external HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 has a much larger VMware cluster scale ceiling than an HPE SimpliVity cluster. HPE SimpliVity is a hyperconverged platform with strict federation and cluster sizing limits; HPE’s SimpliVity FAQ states that the maximum recommended cluster size is 16 nodes, while a federation can scale further across clusters. A traditional VMware architecture can scale larger at the vSphere cluster level, so the statement correctly differentiates the two approaches. Option B is incorrect because HPE Synergy does not include all VMware subscriptions automatically; VMware licensing must be sized and purchased according to the deployment model. Option C is wrong because Alletra Storage MP B10000 is not limited to VMFS-only use; it supports VMware integration patterns beyond simple VMFS datastore creation. Option D incorrectly treats Synergy as a storage system managed through the HPE Storage Integration Pack.
