Is this a correct principle for designing vSAN on HPE Synergy?
Drives for storage pools should use RAID 6.
Could an HPE Composable Fabric solution meet the needs for this use case?
The customer wants to be able to set up paths between data center racks using API-based scripting.
Does HPE help customers deploy OpenShift Container Platform on HPE Synergy in this way?
provides Docker images, available through Docker Hub, which are optimized for running on HPE Synergy and OCP
Is this a benefit of the HPE Nimble plug-in for vCenter?
storage management actions integrated into vCenter workflows
Is this a reason that a virtualization farm benefits from deployment on software-defined infrastructure (SDI)?
SDI helps customers scale out virtualization farms more quickly.
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?
Use Tunneled node VLANs for the connections on which ESXi nodes carry production traffic.
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 a cluster of HPE SimpliVity 380H models?
providing GPU acceleration for VDI workloads
A customer is virtualizing some of their data center production networks with NSX. You are helping with the plan.
Is this a valid design for routing within the NSX solution?
routing traffic between VXLANs (logical networks) locally on each ESXi host by deploying a distributed logical router (DLR) to an edge cluster
Is this a use case or benefit of HPE Recovery Manager Central RMC-V?
automate cloning VMs and attaching their virtual disks to a volume stored on HPE 3PAR
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 a VMware vSphere environment deployed on HPE Synergy. The customer wants to use DirectPath IO (DPIO) on several HPE Synergy compute modules. You think this could cause problems.
Is this an issue about which you should warn the customer? DPIO prevents the ESXi host from being part of an HA cluster.
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 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.
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 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
Is this a reason to use VVols on an HPE storage array to support a VMware vSphere environment?
because VVol acts as plug-ins, integrating array monitoring and management on vCenter
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? Deploy no more than three nodes per cluster.
You need to migrate a customer’s Hyper-V-based virtual environment to HPE SimpliVity.
Is this a step that you should take to size the solution?
Create a Lanamark engagement and help the customer download Lanamark Snap for scanning Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM)
Is this a correct statement about how containers fit within a DevOps model?
Containers help to provide simple deployment and scaling for applications in production, but only if the customer deploys them within an orchestration solution.
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 Operations and the HPE OneView plug-in for it.
Is this a use case for using virtualization instead of a bare metal or containerized deployment?
Simplifying workload deployment using familiar vSphere or Hyper-V tools
Is this a benefit of using NetEdit to manage ARubaOS-CX switches?
better change management with the ability to validate changes or rollback changes
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?
Use the Deployment Manager with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) to add nodes to SCVMM one at a time.
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).
Is this a reason to use VVols on an HPE storage array to support a VMware vSphere environment?
so that the array can apply specific features such as replication at a VM-level
