1. A customer has a Synergy frame with two Composer modules. They want to factory reset the entire environment (delete all profiles, logical interconnects, and network definitions) to start a fresh POC, but they want to keep the OS version on the Composers. They select "Factory Reset" from the maintenance console.

What is the critical consequence of this action regarding the Frame Link Modules (FLMs)?

The FLMs are powered off and must be reseated.

The FLM firmware is downgraded to the factory shipping version.

The FLMs retain their IP settings to allow immediate reconnection.

The FLMs are also reset to factory defaults, losing their IP addresses and management ring configuration.

2. A customer has a 3-frame Synergy ring managed by a pair of Composer 2 modules. The primary Composer in Frame 1 fails permanently. You insert a replacement Composer 2 module into the same bay.

What is the expected behavior for the system to recover high availability?

You must re-run the "Guided Setup" to add the new Composer to the existing management ring.

You must manually restore the backup file to the new Composer using the maintenance console.

The new Composer will PXE boot from the surviving Composer, automatically re-image itself to the cluster version, and join the cluster to synchronize the database.

You must use a USB drive with the specific OneView ISO to image the new module first.

3. You are investigating a performance complaint from a VMware administrator. They report that "VM-SQL-01" is sluggish. You log into HPE InfoSight and navigate to the "Cross-Stack Analytics" view for this VM. You observe that the "Host CPU Ready" time is consistently above 10%, while the "Storage Latency" is under 1ms.

What does this specific correlation indicate?

The SAN fabric has a "Slow Drain" device causing head-of-line blocking.

The VM is suffering from CPU contention on the ESXi host (vCPU over-commitment), unrelated to storage performance.

The VM requires a larger "Performance Policy" block size.

The storage array is undersized for the IOPS demand.

4. You are configuring an iSCSI connection between a Windows Server 2022 host and an HPE Alletra 6000 array. The security policy requires "Mutual CHAP" authentication. You have configured the Initiator Secret on the host.

What corresponding configuration must you perform on the Alletra 6000 to complete the bidirectional trust?

Import the Windows Server's CA Certificate.

Enable "IPsec" on the Discovery Portal.

Configure the "Target Secret" (Discovery Secret) in the Initiator Group settings on the array.

Set the Initiator Group to "Allow Any" temporarily to exchange keys.

5. You are configuring the boot storage for a new HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server. The customer wants to maximize the number of front drive bays available for data storage (VSAN capacity). They also want the boot device to include hardware redundancy (RAID 1) without consuming a PCIe expansion slot.

Which specific boot controller meets these criteria?

HPE SR932i-p Gen11 Controller

Dual

2 SATA SSDs on the System Board

HPE MR416i-p Gen11 Controller

HPE NS204i-u Gen11 NVMe Hot Plug Boot Optimized Storage Device

6. A customer is using HPE Synergy Image Streamer. They need to update the "Golden Image" for their ESXi farm to a new patch level. They have created a new Image Artifact.

What is the correct method to apply this new image to the existing Compute Modules without deleting the Server Profiles?

Manually mount the new ISO in the iLO of each server and reboot.

Edit the Server Profile Template, change the "OS Deployment Plan" to the new artifact, and select "Update from Template" for the profiles.

Use the "Image Streamer Uplink" to push the file to the OS partition directly.

Delete the Server Profiles and recreate them with the new image.

7. A customer asks for a monthly report detailing the "Power Consumption" history of their Synergy frames to cross-charge departments based on energy usage. They want to export this data to a CSV format.

Which OneView feature provides this specific historical metric capability?

The "Reports" menu -> "Power and Thermal" -> "Utilization".

The Dashboard "Pie Chart" view.

The "Activity" log.

You must use the REST API GET /rest/metrics endpoint directly; the UI does not support historical export.

8. An administrator accidentally pulls the wrong power cable, causing a "loss of redundancy" on an HPE Alletra Storage MP controller node enclosure. The system remains online. However, the "System Health" LED turns Amber.

Which CLI command would you use to identify exactly which Power Supply Unit (PSU) slot has lost input power?

showcage -d

shownode

showsys -power

statcmp

9. You are deploying a rack of HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers equipped with Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC). You need to connect the servers to the rack-level cooling infrastructure.

What is the specific function of the "Rack Manifold" in this solution?

It actively pumps the fluid through the servers using per-U pumps.

It acts as a heat exchanger to transfer heat from the coolant to the data center air.

It filters the coolant to remove particulates.

It distributes cool liquid from the Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) to each individual server and collects the warm return liquid.

10. You need to create a script to programmatically extract audit logs from HPE GreenLake Central into an external SIEM tool. You cannot use a user's email/password because the script runs as a background service.

What type of credential should you generate in the GreenLake "API Access" menu to authorize this machine-to-machine communication?

A Personal Access Token (PAT).

An SSH Key Pair.

An API Client (Client ID and Client Secret).

A Service Account with an API Token.

11. In an HPE Synergy environment, the "Frame Link Modules" (FLMs) located in the rear of the frame are responsible for management connectivity.

If you have a multi-frame ring configuration and the "LINK" LED on the Frame Link Module in Frame 2 turns off, what is the immediate impact?

The Image Streamer appliances will go offline.

All data traffic (Ethernet/Fibre Channel) for Frame 2 is disrupted.

The management ring is broken at that point; if the ring is redundant, the Composer will report an alert but management continues.

The Compute Nodes in Frame 2 will immediately power down.

12. A customer is deploying a Peer Persistence solution across two data centers (Site A and Site B). They have created the "Remote Copy Group" and replicated the volumes. However, they are confused about how to zone the hosts.

To ensure "Transparent Failover" works correctly, how must the Fibre Channel zoning be configured for a host located at Site A?

Zone the host only to the local Site A array.

Create a "Zone Set" that includes Site A, but keep Site B in a deactivated Zone Set until failover occurs.

Zone the host to Site A for data, and Site B for management only.

Zone the host to the local Site A array AND the remote Site B array.

13. A customer is using HPE iLO 6 "Automatic Recovery" feature for the System ROM (BIOS).

If the primary ROM image becomes corrupted and the server fails to post, what is the sequence of events that the "Silicon Root of Trust" initiates to recover the system?

It halts the system and waits for a user to insert a USB recovery key.

It boots from the OS drive's EFI partition.

It switches to the redundant "Backup ROM" image stored on the flash chip; if that is valid, it boots and then overwrites the corrupted Primary RO

It downloads a new BIOS from HPE Support Center automatically via the internet.

14. A customer is deploying a large-scale NVMe/TCP environment with hundreds of Linux hosts connecting to multiple HPE Alletra Storage MP arrays. They want to avoid manually configuring the IP address of every storage controller on every host (Static Discovery).

Which standards-based component should you deploy to facilitate centralized, automated discovery of the NVMe subsystems?

HPE SFSS (Smart Fabric Storage Software) acting as a CDC (Centralized Discovery Controller).

A DNS Service Location (SRV) record.

HPE iSNS Server (Internet Storage Name Service)

An mDNS (Multicast DNS) Gateway.

15. An HPE Alletra 9000 controller node has failed. You replace the node. During the boot process, the new node stays in a "Safe Mode" or "Service State" and does not join the cluster. You check the console and see a message about "Cluster ID Mismatch".

What command must you run to force the new node to adopt the existing cluster's identity?

admitnode

node_rescue (or rescue from the Whack prompt)

setnet

control_boot

16. You are the "Trusted Advisor" for a customer planning to migrate from a traditional 3-tier architecture to HPE GreenLake.

They ask: "How does HPE GreenLake help me reduce the risk of 'Over-provisioning' compute resources compared to my current purchasing model?"

By providing a "Buffer" of capacity that is installed but not billed until used, allowing you to provision only what you need today and grow instantly, rather than buying 3-years of growth upfront.

By using "Spot Instances" which are cheaper.

By automatically deleting unused VMs.

By compressing memory.

17. You need to replace a failed Image Streamer module in a redundant pair (Ring). You insert the new physical module.

What is the correct procedure to restore redundancy and synchronize the artifacts?

The new module will automatically cluster with the surviving primary module and re-synchronize data (Auto-Discovery and Recovery).

Restore the appliance from a backup file manually.

You must delete the Logical Interconnect Group and recreate it.

You must re-upload all Golden Images to the new module.

18. A customer wants to set a strict budget for their Compute usage in HPE GreenLake to prevent unexpected bills. They configure a "Budget" rule in GreenLake Central.

What happens when the actual monthly usage exceeds the defined budget threshold?

The system sends an alert/notification to the administrator, but services continue to run.

The servers are automatically powered down to stop billing.

The usage rate switches to a higher "Overage" price per unit.

New provisioning requests are blocked, but existing workloads continue.

19. A customer wants to view their "Carbon Footprint" trends over the last 12 months for their entire HPE fleet to include in their Annual ESG Report.

Which specific dashboard within the HPE ecosystem provides this historical carbon reporting?

iLO Energy Monitor

OneView Power Monitor

InfoSight Performance View

HPE GreenLake Sustainability Dashboard

20. During a disaster recovery simulation task, you are configuring HPE Peer Persistence for an HPE Alletra 9000 solution. You have successfully configured the Remote Copy groups and synchronous replication. However, the automatic failover test fails when you simulate a primary site storage outage.

Which critical external component is likely missing or misconfigured, preventing the system from arbitrating the split-brain scenario?

Prometheus Analytics

Quorum Witness

HPE OneView Monitor

RCIP Port Group

Page 3 of 10

21. A customer is interested in the "Sustainability" features of the HPE GreenLake platform. They specifically want to identify "Zombie Servers" (servers that are powered on but doing no useful work) to reduce energy waste.

Which metric within the GreenLake Sustainability Dashboard would best help them identify these underutilized assets?

PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) Ratio

Carbon Footprint per Workload

Battery Backup Unit health status

Average CPU Utilization vs Power Consumption Trends

22. You have configured an HPE Alletra 6000 (Nimble) array. You need to enable "Encryption" for a specific volume containing sensitive HR data. You go to the Volume Edit settings, but the option to enable encryption is greyed out.

What is the fundamental constraint of encryption on this platform?

The volume contains data; encryption can only be enabled on empty volumes.

Encryption requires an external Key Management Server (ESKM) to be connected first.

Encryption is a per-array setting, not per-volume. It must be enabled during Group Initialization or Array Setup.

You need to install the "SmartSecure" license.

23. The "Synergy Console" (the pull-out monitor/KVM on the front of the frame) is not functioning. You suspect the "Front Panel Board" battery is dead.

What is the specific function of the battery located on the Synergy Front Panel / Console board?

It provides cache backup for the Composer.

It maintains the Real-Time Clock (RTC) for the Frame Link Modules.

It powers the "Hood" display (Frame Link topology view) when the frame power cables are disconnected (e.g., during shipping or power outage diagnosis).

It powers the KVM USB ports.

24. You are configuring a solution to align with security best practices. You need to secure the iLO 6 management interface on all Gen11 servers. The policy requires that the iLO does not use the default self-signed certificate.

What is the first step in the workflow to implement a CA-signed certificate?

Import the Root CA certificate.

Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from the iLO interface.

Delete the default certificate.

Reboot the server.

25. You are troubleshooting a "Space Full" condition on a Snapshot CPG. You realize that a test script generated thousands of temporary snapshots on a volume, consuming all available copy space. You delete the snapshots in the UI. However, the physical space on the CPG does not return to "Free" immediately.

Why?

You must manually run the compactcpg command.

Snapshots are immutable for 24 hours by default.

The drives must be reformatted.

The array performs "Garbage Collection" as a background task; space is reclaimed gradually to avoid performance impact.

26. You are integrating HPE iLO 6 with Microsoft Active Directory to enable role-based access for a large group of users. You have configured the Kerberos settings and Directory address. However, when users attempt to log in with their AD credentials, they fail. You suspect the "Schema-free" configuration is incorrect.

Which specific Active Directory attribute must be mapped to the iLO "User Login Name" to ensure successful authentication?

distinguishedName

objectGUID

memberOf

sAMAccountName (or userPrincipalName)

27. A customer is extremely concerned about ransomware encrypting their backup data. They want to implement a solution using HPE StoreOnce that ensures backup data cannot be deleted or modified by any user (including administrators) for a set period.

Which specific feature must be enabled and configured to meet this "Compliance Mode" requirement?

Data at Rest Encryption (D@RE) with External Key Manager

VTL (Virtual Tape Library) WORM emulation

HPE StoreOnce Catalyst with "Data Immutability" (Compliance Profile)

HPE StoreOnce "Secure Erase" in DoD mode

28. You are reviewing a customer's HPE Alletra 9000 Peer Persistence configuration. The customer wants to ensure that if the primary array fails completely, the failover to the secondary array happens automatically and transparently to the hosts.

Beyond configuring the Remote Copy groups and the Quorum Witness, what specific host-side configuration is mandatory to support this transparent failover?

The hosts must have paths zoned and active to both the primary and secondary arrays simultaneously.

The hosts must utilize iSCSI instead of Fibre Channel for ALUA support.

The hosts must be zoned to only the primary array; the secondary array zoning is automatic upon failover.

The hosts must be configured with a specific "HPE Peer Persistence" agent installed on the O

29. A customer requires a storage solution that supports "100% Availability Guarantee" for a mission-critical banking application. They do not want to manage complex multi-site replication just to get the guarantee; they want it natively within a single array.

Which solution must you propose?

HPE Alletra 9000

HPE Alletra 6000

HPE SimpliVity

HPE MSA 2062

30. You are designing a liquid-cooled solution using HPE ProLiant Gen11 servers with the Direct Liquid Cooling (DLC) option. The customer facilities manager asks about the maintenance requirements for the coolant. Specifically, they want to know how to top up the coolant if the levels drop in the loop within the server.

What is the correct response?

Connect the server to the facility water supply to automatically refill.

The DLC system within the server is a sealed "Closed Loop" design; it is not user-serviceable and must be replaced as a whole module if it fails/leaks.

Top up the reservoir located on the front of the server bezel.

Use the provided filler syringe to inject PG25 coolant into the quick disconnect valve.

Page 4 of 10

31. You receive a "Wellness Alert" email from HPE InfoSight regarding an HPE ProLiant Gen10 server. The alert is titled "Driver/Firmware Compatibility Mismatch".

Unlike a standard hardware fault alert, what is the unique nature of this InfoSight wellness finding?

It indicates the warranty has expired.

It indicates a component has already failed.

It means the server has lost connectivity to GreenLake.

It is a "Proactive" finding based on the global knowledge base, identifying a known issue with the specific combination of driver X and firmware Y installed on your server, which could cause a future outage.

32. During a hands-on provisioning task in the Data Services Cloud Console (DSCC), you are creating a new volume for a generic file server workload. You want to ensure the volume is placed on the most cost-effective tier while still meeting basic performance needs.

When using the "Intent-based Provisioning" wizard, which parameter do you adjust to control the Quality of Service (QoS) and placement without manually selecting CPGs?

Host IOPS Limit

Performance Policy

Data Reduction Ratio

Protection Policy

33. You are designing a storage solution for a large-scale Persistent Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment using VMware Horizon. The customer anticipates significant "Boot Storms" and "Login Storms" at 8:00 AM.

Which specific feature of the HPE Alletra storage architecture should you highlight as the primary mechanism for handling these random read bursts without latency spikes?

CASL (Cache Accelerated Sequential Layout) or All-NVMe Parallelism

InfoSight Cross-Stack Analytics

Triple+ Parity RAID

Sequential Log Bypass

34. A customer is managing 200 Gen11 servers via HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management (COM). They want to ensure that all servers strictly adhere to the "Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) 2024.03.00". If a server drifts from this version (e.g., someone manually updates a driver), they want the system to automatically flag it as "Non-Compliant" but NOT automatically reboot it.

Which policy setting in COM achieves this?

Use the iLO Amplifier Pack "Firmware Dry Run" feature.

Create a "Server Action" with "Immediate Reboot" disabled.

Configure the "Auto-Remediate" toggle to "On" but uncheck "Allow Reboots".

Assign a "Firmware Baseline" to the Server Group and set the "Compliance" mode to "Report Only" (or Monitor).

35. You are troubleshooting a performance issue on an AI training cluster. The specific symptom is that the "All-Reduce" collective operation is taking longer than expected. You verify that GPUDirect RDMA is enabled. However, checking the network counters, you see a high rate of "Pause Frames" and retransmissions on the RoCE network.

What is the most likely root cause?

The Operating System is using the wrong NVMe driver.

The PCIe bus is bottlenecked because the NIC is in a x8 slot instead of x16.

The GPUs are overheating and throttling their clock speeds.

The upstream switch has not been correctly configured for Priority Flow Control (PFC) and ECN, causing buffer overflows.

36. A customer provides a business requirement to "Implement a database solution that guarantees zero RPO across two campus sites connected by dark fiber." You translate this into a technical requirement for "Synchronous Replication."

When configuring the Bill of Materials (BOM) in HPE One Config Advanced (OCA), which specific licensing component must be added to an HPE Alletra 9000 BOM to enable this functionality?

HPE Alletra 9000 All-inclusive Software License

HPE Peer Motion License

HPE Cluster Extension (CLX) License

HPE Remote Copy License

37. You are configuring "Data at Rest Encryption" on an HPE Alletra 9000 array for a banking customer with strict regulatory requirements. The customer dictates that the encryption keys must be managed centrally by their existing Thales eSecurity key manager, rather than storing the keys locally on the array.

Which encryption key management mode must you configure during initialization?

ESKM (External Key Management)

DKM (Distributed Key Management)

OKM (Onboard Key Management)

LKM (Local Key Management)

38. You are troubleshooting the initialization of a new HPE Alletra 9000. The initialization wizard fails at the network configuration step. You check the switch port connected to the array's management interface. The port is configured as 100Mb Full Duplex.

Why is this causing the failure?

The array requires IPv6, but 100Mb switches only support IPv4.

100Mb is sufficient, but the cable must be crossover.

The array management port requires 1Gb (1000Base-T) or higher and will not link up at 100Mb.

The duplex mismatch is causing packet loss.

39. A customer is troubleshooting a Gen10 Plus server that shows "Not Connected" in the Compute Ops Management dashboard. You log into the server's iLO 5 interface locally.

Which specific iLO feature must be configured to allow the server to talk to the GreenLake Cloud?

AMP (Agentless Management Service)

HPE Remote Support (Insight Online)

HPE GreenLake Connection (formerly iLO Cloud Connector)

SNMP Traps to midway.hpe.com

40. You are integrating HPE OneView with Microsoft Active Directory (AD). You want to map an AD Group named "HPE-Admins" to the "Infrastructure Administrator" role in OneView. You enter the group name in the directory settings, but OneView fails to authenticate users in that group. You suspect a nested group issue.

What is the constraint regarding nested groups in OneView AD integration?

OneView supports nested groups up to 5 levels deep.

You must enable "Recursive Search" in the Directory settings.

Nested groups only work with OpenLDAP, not Active Directory.

OneView does NOT support nested groups; the user account must be a direct member of the mapped AD Group.

Page 5 of 10

41. A customer is performing a "Tech Refresh" migration from an older non-HPE array to an HPE Alletra 9000. They have a physical Oracle RAC database using ASM (Automatic Storage Management). They want to migrate to the new array without using host-based LVM mirroring or reinstalling.

Which method allows the Oracle ASM disks to be migrated online?

Present the new Alletra volumes to the host, add them to the Oracle ASM Disk Group, and perform an ASM Rebalance to move data to the new disks, then drop the old disks.

Use HPE Online Import to migrate the LUNs, then run oracleasm scandisks.

Use HPE Peer Motion.

Use Veeam Instant Recovery.

42. You are planning to use HPE Online Import to migrate data from a legacy EMC VNX array to a new HPE Alletra 9000. You have configured the iSCSI connectivity between the two arrays for the data path. However, when you attempt to add the EMC VNX as a "Migration Source" in the Data Ops Manager, the connection fails. You verify the IP address is correct.

What additional connectivity is required for the "Control Path"?

You must connect a serial cable between the arrays.

The host server must run a "Migration Proxy" agent.

The Alletra 9000 management port must be able to reach the EMC VNX management IP (SP) on TCP port 443/80.

The Alletra 9000 data ports must be able to ping the EMC VNX management port.

43. A customer asks about the "Deduplication Scope" of an HPE Alletra 9000 array. They want to know if data is deduplicated only within a single volume, or across the entire array.

What is the correct architectural description?

Deduplication is limited to the "Volume Set" level.

Deduplication is global across the entire array (or at least across the entire CPG/Node Pair).

Deduplication is strictly per-volume; data in Volume A is never deduped against Volume

Deduplication is only available for File Persona.

44. You are troubleshooting a multi-node AI training job on an HPE Cray XD system. The job is failing to initialize the distributed communication ring (NCCL) between GPUs. You suspect a physical layer issue with the High-Speed Ethernet (RoCE) fabric.

Which specific diagnostic tool or test suite should you run from the HPE Cray Programming Environment to validate the GPU-to-GPU bandwidth and latency across the fabric?

NCCL Tests (specifically all_reduce_perf)

HPE IML Viewer

nvidia-smi topo -m

ibv_devinfo

45. After replacing the system board on an HPE ProLiant Gen11 server, you attempt to boot the installed Windows Server 2022 OS. The boot process halts immediately with a "Security Violation" or "Invalid Signature" error on the screen. You verify that the OS bootloader is intact.

What setting in the UEFI System Utilities must be updated to resolve this?

You must re-install the Trusted Platform Module (TPM).

You must disable "Secure Boot" because the new motherboard's database does not yet contain the Microsoft CA keys.

You must enroll the "Factory Default Keys" (PK, KEK, DB) in the Secure Boot settings to trust the Microsoft bootloader.

You must switch the Boot Mode from "UEFI" to "Legacy BIOS".

46. You are auditing the actions performed in your HPE GreenLake cloud tenant. You specifically want to know which user deleted a critical volume named "Vol-Finance-01" last Tuesday. Where should you navigate in the Data Services Cloud Console to find this specific historical record?

HPE Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module

HPE Synergy 12Gb SAS Connection Module

HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module

HPE Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Module

48. You are managing an environment with four HPE Alletra 9000 arrays. You want to move a critical application volume from Array A to Array B to balance the workload, but you cannot afford any downtime for the host application. You have already configured a Peer Motion Federation.

Which specific Data Ops Manager action allows you to move the volume transparently while the host is online?

"Migrate" action within the Volume details page

"Peer Copy" followed by a host remount

"Move" action leveraging the Federation orchestration

"Remote Copy" synchronous replication

49. You are acting as a Trusted Advisor for a customer using HPE Alletra storage. They are concerned about running out of physical capacity due to aggressive Thin Provisioning. You check the "Capacity" tab in Data Services Cloud Console (DSCC).

What does the "Over-provisioning Ratio" specifically indicate to the customer?

The ratio of total logical space allocated to hosts versus the actual physical usable capacity available in the array.

The ratio of data written to the SSDs versus the data written to the cache.

The percentage of capacity reserved for snapshots.

The ratio of deduplicated data to raw data.

50. You are performing a "Backup from Storage Snapshots" using Veeam Backup & Replication with an HPE Alletra 9000. You want to perform an "Instant VM Recovery" of a 2TB virtual machine directly from the storage snapshot to minimize RTO.

What happens to the storage I/O during this Instant Recovery process?

Veeam fully rehydrates the 2TB data from the backup repository to the production storage before powering on the V

The VM is powered on directly from the Deduplication Store (StoreOnce).

The snapshot is cloned to a new Read/Write volume on the Alletra array and presented to the host immediately.

Veeam mounts the storage snapshot as a read-only NFS datastore to the ESXi host; writes are redirected to a temporary cache file.

Page 6 of 10

51. You are analyzing a solution for a high-density data center. The customer wants to deploy 40 HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 servers in a single rack. Each server has dual 350W CPUs. Using HPE Power Advisor, you calculate the total power load is 28kW. The data center only provides 20kW per rack.

What design modification allows you to fit as many servers as possible without tripping the breaker?

Connect half the servers to a different rack's PDU via extension cords.

Disable the "Turbo Boost" in the BIO

Enable "Dynamic Power Capping" on all servers, setting a cap that limits the aggregate draw to <20k

Use Titanium Power Supplies.

52. A customer is using HPE StoreOnce with "Local Key Management" for Data at Rest Encryption. They experienced a catastrophic hardware failure of the StoreOnce appliance and had to replace the unit. They attached the old disk shelves to the new unit. To recover the encrypted data, they need to restore the "Keystore".

Which file must they have backed up previously to perform this restoration?

The keystore.jceks file.

The QR code image from the physical chassis label.

The user_key_store.b64 file.

The .config backup file.

53. You are replacing a failed Controller Node in an HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 chassis. Before physically removing the node from the chassis, you check the "Unsafe to Remove" LED on the rear of the controller. The LED is currently ON (Solid White).

What does this indicate?

The chassis simply has power; this is the default state.

The node still contains data in the write cache that has not yet been flushed to backing media.

The node is the active "Leader" of the cluster and must be failed over first.

The node is powered off and ready for removal.

54. You are sizing a new Synergy solution. The customer requires 20Gb of bandwidth per server for their standard LAN traffic and separate physical isolation for their storage traffic. You propose using the HPE Synergy 6820C 25/50Gb Converged Network Adapter.

Which specific Interconnect Module must be paired with this adapter to support its full 50Gb capability?

HPE Virtual Connect SE 16Gb FC Module

HPE Synergy 10Gb Interconnect Link Module

HPE Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module

HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module

55. An administrator is using the Data Services Cloud Console (DSCC) to provision storage for a new SQL Server cluster on HPE Alletra Storage MP. Instead of manually selecting the specific RAID level and drive type, the administrator wants to simply specify the workload type ("SQL Server"), the capacity required, and the performance tier ("Mission Critical").

Which specific provisioning methodology within DSCC enables this simplified, SLA-driven approach?

Dynamic Optimization

Traditional LUN Masking

Peer Motion Federation

Intent-based Provisioning

56. An onsite technician is troubleshooting an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 server that failed to boot. The technician observes that the "System Health LED" on the front panel is flashing Red at 4Hz (fast blink).

What does this specific LED code indicate?

The system is currently performing a memory check or training.

The system is in a pre-boot standby state (power is connected, but server is off).

A critical system fault has occurred (e.g., CPU failure, Voltage Regulator failure).

One of the redundant power supplies has lost input power, but the system is still running.

57. You are designing a new HPE Synergy solution for a customer who requires the ability to rapidly provision and update operating systems across hundreds of compute nodes using "Golden Images" and stateless computing. You plan to include HPE Synergy Image Streamer.

To function correctly, which specific configuration requirement must be met regarding the Logical Interconnect Group (LIG) and the uplink sets?

Image Streamer requires a dedicated physical 10Gb connection to the management ring.

The LIG must be configured for "Image Streamer Only" mode.

The Image Streamer modules must be installed in Frame 1, Bays 1 and 2 only.

The OS deployment network uplink set must be configured with "Purpose: Image Streamer" in the logical interconnect.

58. You are designing a solution for an AI inference workload that requires high-density GPU compute. You have selected the HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen11 server. The customer's data center has a strict per-rack power limit of 12kW. Using HPE Power Advisor, you determine that a fully populated rack of 10 servers would draw 16kW at peak load.

What is the most appropriate design adjustment to meet the power constraint while maximizing node count?

Reduce the number of servers per rack to 7 and leave the remaining U-space empty (or use filler panels).

Switch to Liquid Cooling to reduce the power draw by 40%.

Replace the 1600W Power Supplies with 800W Power Supplies to physically limit power.

Enable "Power Capping" in the BIOS of each server to strictly limit draw to 1.2k

59. A customer requires a storage solution that specifically supports "Data Reduction without Performance Penalty" for their VDI environment. They have a strict requirement that the solution must use an ASIC-based approach to deduplication to avoid taxing the storage controller CPUs.

Based on this technical requirement, which HPE storage solution is the only valid option to propose?

HPE Alletra 9000

HPE SimpliVity

HPE MSA 2062

HPE Alletra 6000

60. You are configuring a "Protection Policy" in the Data Services Cloud Console (DSCC) for a set of volumes. The requirement is to take a local snapshot every 15 minutes and replicate it asynchronously to a secondary array every 1 hour.

When defining the "Replication Partner" in the policy, what pre-requisite must be met for the secondary array to appear in the selection list?

A "Replication Partner" relationship must be pre-configured in the Settings > Replication panel of the Data Ops Manager.

Both arrays must have the "Remote Copy" license manually installed.

The two arrays must be connected via Fibre Channel; iSCSI is not supported for DSCC replication.

The secondary array must be in the same "Resource Group" as the primary.

61. A customer wants to migrate a volume from an older HPE Nimble array to a new Alletra 9000 using Peer Motion. The source volume currently has a "Remote Copy" relationship configuring it to replicate to a DR site. When you attempt to add this volume to the migration task, the validation fails.

Why?

You cannot migrate a volume that is currently part of an active Remote Copy group; you must break the replication relationship first.

Peer Motion automatically migrates the Remote Copy relationship to the new array.

The bandwidth required for migration conflicts with the replication bandwidth.

The destination array does not support the same snapshot schedule.

62. You are reviewing the CPU utilization of an HPE Alletra 9000 controller node during a performance test. You observe that the CPU utilization is consistently near 100%, and latency is rising linearly with increased IOPS.

What conclusion can you draw about the system's state?

The system is functioning normally; Alletra CPUs are designed to run at 100% idle.

There is a memory leak in the cache.

The backend NVMe drives are too slow.

The system has reached its "Saturation Point" (Knee of the curve); further IOPS increases will result in exponential latency growth.

63. A customer is configuring an HPE Alletra 9000 to provide storage for an AI training cluster. The workload consists of "Checkpoints" where all 100 nodes dump their memory state to storage simultaneously every hour. This creates a massive burst of sequential write bandwidth.

Which volume setting should be adjusted to optimize for this specific "Checkpoint" pattern?

Set the Volume Performance Policy to "Throughput Optimized" (if available) or ensure the host uses a large block size (e.g., 1MB).

Set the QoS "IOPS Limit" to 10,000 to prevent array saturation.

Enable "Deduplication" to save space on the checkpoints.

Use RAID 10 for the fastest small-block random write performance.

64. A customer is ordering an HPE Cray XD system for High Performance Computing. They need to manage the "Slingshot" interconnect fabric.

Which specific management tool is required to configure, monitor, and manage the Slingshot fabric controller and switches?

HPE OneView

HPE InfoSight for HPC

HPE Performance Cluster Manager (HPCM)

HPE Fabric Manager (HFM)

65. You are managing an HPE Alletra 9000 array and need to provision a new volume to a cluster of 8 ESXi hosts. You want to ensure that every host maps the volume with the exact same LUN ID to support vMotion.

Which provisioning action guarantees this outcome with the least administrative effort?

Create a Volume Collection, add the volume, and associate it with the ESXi cluster profile.

Create a Host Set containing all 8 hosts, and export the volume to the Host Set.

Use the "Auto-LUN" feature in the ESXi initiator settings.

Create the volume and map it to each Host object individually, manually specifying LUN ID 10.

66. You are troubleshooting access to a newly provisioned NFS export on HPE GreenLake for File Storage. The Linux client receives an "Access Denied" or "Mount Failure" error. You verify the IP connectivity is good.

Unlike Block storage which uses LUN Masking, what mechanism controls access to this NFS export?

Export Rules (Host IP/Subnet Whitelist)

iSCSI IQN Access Control List

CHAP Authentication

NVMe NQN Whitelist

67. You are preparing to upgrade the OS version of an HPE Alletra 9000 storage array. The upgrade is designed to be online and non-disruptive. However, the pre-upgrade check warns that one of the connected ESXi hosts does not have the correct Multipathing configuration.

Why is this critical for the online upgrade process?

The upgrade requires the host to pause I/O for 5 minutes.

The array needs to offload data to the host memory during the reboot.

The array will reboot both controllers simultaneously if it detects multipathing.

The upgrade process reboots one controller node at a time; the host must rely on MPIO to failover I/O to the surviving node paths.

68. In a hands-on task involving HPE GreenLake Central, you need to invite a new user, " [email protected] ", and give her administrative access to only the "Storage" workspace.

Which role assignment strategy achieves this "Least Privilege" requirement?

Assign the "Storage Administrator" (or Editor) role specifically scoped to the "Storage Workspace" during the invitation process.

Add her to the "Storage" Active Directory group.

Assign the "Observer" role at the Organization level.

Assign the "Organization Administrator" role.

69. You are attempting to make a configuration change to an uplink set in HPE OneView, but the operation fails with an error stating that the "Logical Interconnect Group (LIG) is inconsistent" with the Logical Interconnect (LI).

What is the correct workflow to resolve this inconsistency and apply the new configuration?

Select the Logical Interconnect and choose "Update from Group".

Delete the LIG and recreate it.

Reboot the Synergy Composer.

Manually configure the interconnect modules via their CLI to match OneView.

70. You are auditing a SAN configuration for an HPE Alletra 9000 deployment. You notice that the administrator has configured "Single Initiator to Single Target" zoning (1:1 zoning) for all hosts.

Why is this considered a "Best Practice" over "Single Initiator to Multiple Targets" (1:Many) zoning?

It is required for NVMe support.

It increases the bandwidth available to the host.

It reduces the size of the TCAM tables on the switch and prevents "RSCN Storms" from affecting unrelated ports.

It allows the array to deduplicate data more efficiently.

Page 8 of 10

71. You connect your laptop to the "Service Port" (USB-C or RJ-45 with specific label) on the rear of an HPE Alletra MP Controller Node to perform an initial setup because DHCP is not available.

Which default static IP address should you configure on your laptop's Ethernet adapter to communicate with the service port?

192.168.1.100 / 24

169.254.x.x (APIPA)

The Service Port does not support IP; it is a Serial Console only.

10.0.0.1 / 8

72. A customer plans to add a new "Data Warehouse" workload to their existing HPE Alletra 9000 array. They want to know if the current controller headroom can support this addition without causing latency for existing apps.

Which specific tool within HPE InfoSight allows you to simulate this addition using historical performance models?

The "Deep Analytics" custom dashboard.

The "Wellness" dashboard.

The "Executive Summary" Report.

The "Scenario Modeler" (or Workload Planner).

73. You are configuring a BOM for a customer who requires an HPE Alletra Storage MP solution. The customer's "Business Objective" is to have a completely separate, air-gapped recovery environment for Ransomware protection.

How do you translate this into a technical requirement for the "Solution Design" phase?

Configure the Alletra MP for "Peer Persistence".

Specify "RAID 6" for all drive enclosures.

Include a requirement for "Synchronous Replication" to a second site.

Design a solution that includes HPE StoreOnce with "Immutable Catalyst Copy" capability.

74. You are managing an HPE OneView instance licensed with "OneView Standard" (No "Advanced" licenses purchased). You attempt to use the "Server Profile Mobility" feature to migrate a server profile from a Gen10 blade to a Gen11 blade in the same frame. The operation is blocked.

Why?

OneView Standard only supports "Monitor" mode; it cannot apply Profiles at all.

You need to purchase the "iLO Advanced" license for the servers.

"OneView Advanced" licensing is mandatory for applying Server Profiles to managed hardware; Standard is for monitoring only.

Profile Mobility is only supported between identical hardware generations (Gen10 to Gen10).

75. You are tasked with securing a new HPE ProLiant Gen11 server. The security policy requires that the server configuration (BIOS settings, iLO settings, and boot order) must be locked down to prevent any unauthorized changes by the operating system or remote administrators.

Which iLO 6 feature should you enable to apply this digital lock?

CNSA Mode (Commercial National Security Algorithm)

Server Configuration Lock

System Recovery Set

Secure Boot

76. A customer has a 3-frame HPE Synergy ring. Frame 1 contains two Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Modules (Masters). Frames 2 and 3 contain Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Modules (Satellites). You receive an alert that the "Logical Interconnect" is in a "Degraded" state. You investigate and find that the "Interconnect Link" cable connecting Frame 2 to Frame 1 has been accidentally severed.

What is the impact on the compute nodes in Frame 2?

They lose redundancy; traffic continues to flow through the remaining link to the other Master module (via Frame 3).

The Composer powers down the frame to prevent a loop.

They lose all network connectivity immediately.

The bandwidth is reduced to 10Gb.

77. You are designing a solution for a customer who is highly focused on "Zero Trust" security architecture. They ask how the HPE Alletra 9000 ensures that data is secure even if a physical drive is stolen from the data center.

Which feature should you demonstrate to address this specific physical security concern?

iLO Silicon Root of Trust

Data at Rest Encryption (D@RE) with Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs)

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) via LDAP

Secure Boot with UEFI

78. You are configuring an "App-aware" snapshot protection policy for a set of SQL Server volumes on an HPE Alletra array using the Data Services Cloud Console. You want to ensure that the database is in a consistent state before the snapshot is taken.

What component must be installed and configured on the SQL Server host to enable this coordination?

HPE InfoSight Host Agent

HPE Storage Connection Manager (SCM)

HPE Nimble Storage Connection Manager (NCM) for Windows

HPE Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) Hardware Provider

79. A customer reports that their HPE Synergy Compute Module is failing to access the SAN storage. You check the Server Profile in OneView and see a critical alert: "FCoE Connection Status: Not Logged In". You check the upstream Cisco Nexus switch and see that the interface is "Up", but no FLOGI (Fabric Login) has been received.

Which specific LLDP setting on the switch port is likely missing, preventing the FCoE initialization?

Port-Security with MAC Sticky

DCBX (Data Center Bridging Exchange) enabling Priority Flow Control (PFC)

LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery)

Jumbo Frames (MTU 9000)

80. You are configuring HPE OneView to authenticate users using Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) via Smart Cards (CAC/PIV). You have enabled "Certificate Validation" in the security settings. However, users report that when they present their Smart Card, the login page displays a "Certificate Not Trusted" error.

What configuration step was missed?

The user's account in OneView does not have the "2FA" toggle enabled.

Smart Card authentication requires the OneView appliance to be joined to the Active Directory domain.

The Smart Card Reader driver was not installed on the OneView appliance.

The "Root CA" certificate that signed the user's Smart Card certificate has not been imported into the OneView "Trust Store".

Page 9 of 10

81. A customer wants to logically isolate their "Production" resources from their "Development" resources within the same HPE GreenLake tenant so that developers cannot see or touch production storage volumes.

Which GreenLake construct should you use to create this boundary?

Workspaces

Resource Groups

V-Nets

Tenants

82. You are troubleshooting a connectivity issue where a server cannot boot from its iSCSI volume on an HPE Alletra 6000. The server and storage are on the same subnet. You verify the iSCSI Initiator Name is correct. However, the array shows the initiator as "Offline". You check the switch logs and see "MAC Address Flapping" errors on the ports connected to the storage array.

What is the likely misconfiguration?

The server NICs are teamed using LACP (802.3ad), but the switch ports are configured as independent access ports.

The server is using a duplicate IP address.

The array ports are configured for Jumbo Frames, but the switch is not.

The iSCSI VLAN is not tagged on the switch ports.

83. A customer wants to identify which specific "Workload" on their HPE Alletra 9000 is consuming the most power. You explain that storage arrays typically measure power at the chassis level, not the volume level.

However, using the HPE GreenLake Sustainability Dashboard, what proxy metric is used to estimate the "Power Cost" of a specific volume or application?

IOPS * Latency factor

Front-end Port Bandwidth utilization

The number of snapshots associated with the volume

Allocated Capacity (TB) * Watts-per-TB factor

84. You are installing a new HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 system consisting of 2 Controller Nodes and 2 NVMe Drive Enclosures (JBOFs).

Unlike legacy SAS-based arrays that use daisy-chaining, how must the Controller Nodes be connected to the Drive Enclosures to establish the backend storage fabric?

The Drive Enclosures connect via PCIe Gen4 riser cards directly into the Controllers.

Use 100GbE QSFP28 DAC cables to connect each Controller Node directly to the NVMe-oF Expansion Modules on the Drive Enclosures (or via backend switches for larger configs).

Use Fibre Channel cables to create a private loop.

Use HD-Mini-SAS cables to daisy-chain from Controller 1 to Shelf 1 to Shelf 2.

85. A customer initiates an OS upgrade for their Alletra 9000 array via the Data Services Cloud Console. The upgrade fails during the pre-check. The error indicates that the "Outbound Connectivity" to the HPE Cloud is unstable.

Which specific TCP port must be open outbound from the array management port to the HPE GreenLake cloud endpoints?

TCP 3260 (iSCSI)

TCP 80 (HTTP)

TCP 22 (SSH)

TCP 443 (HTTPS)

86. You are acting as a Trusted Advisor for a customer planning their Disaster Recovery strategy. They ask: "What is the recommended RPO (Recovery Point Objective) for our synchronous replication link if the latency spikes to 10ms?"

How should you advise them?

"With 10ms latency, Synchronous replication will slow down your production application writes significantly. We recommend switching to 'Periodic Asynchronous' replication with an RPO of seconds/minutes to protect application performance."

"RPO doesn't matter with 10ms latency."

"You should maintain Zero RPO (Synchronous) regardless of latency."

"You should use Peer Motion."

87. You are installing four NVIDIA H100 GPUs into an HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen11 server. When cabling the power for these GPUs, you notice the server uses a specialized power distribution board.

Why is it critical to use the specific GPU power cables provided in the HPE enablement kit rather than standard PCIe cables?

The H100 GPUs use the new 12VHPWR (or similar high-density) connector standard which handles significantly higher wattage (up to 600W) and includes sideband sense pins.

The HPE cables invert the polarity to prevent short circuits.

Standard cables are too short to reach the front drive cage.

The HPE cables contain a DRM chip that unlocks the GPU clock speed.

88. You are troubleshooting an HPE Synergy Image Streamer deployment. The "OS Volume" is successfully presented to the compute node, but the server hangs at "iSCSI Boot". You suspect the "Personality" (IP address) was not correctly injected into the image. You want to inspect the log files generated by the personalization scripts inside the OS during the boot attempt.

Since the OS hasn't finished booting, how can you access these logs?

Check the Synergy Composer "Activity" log.

Use the iLO Remote Console to boot the server into "Maintenance Mode" (Safe Mode) and check the hp-personalize.log (or equivalent) on the local filesystem.

The logs are automatically uploaded to InfoSight.

Use the "Plan Script" view in OneView.

89. A customer wants to ensure that their HPE OneView appliance backups are secure. They enabled "Backup Encryption" in the settings. They are now simulating a disaster recovery scenario where they need to restore this backup file to a newly deployed OneView appliance.

What critical piece of information is required to successfully import and restore this encrypted backup file?

The IP address of the original appliance.

The "Administrator" password of the original appliance.

The specific "Encryption Key" text string that was generated/saved when the backup was created.

The .PEM certificate file of the original appliance.

90. A customer is performing a "Remote Copy" replication from an HPE Alletra 9000 to a legacy HPE 3PAR 8000 array. They want to use "Synchronous" mode for zero RPO. The link between data centers is 10Gb Ethernet with 2ms latency. However, the system forces the mode to "Periodic Asynchronous".

What is the compatibility constraint preventing Synchronous replication?

You cannot replicate between Alletra 9000 and 3PAR 8000; they use different OS kernels.

The 3PAR 8000 does not support the "Active Peer Persistence" protocol used by Alletra.

Synchronous Replication is only supported over Fibre Channel (RCFC), not Ethernet (RCIP), for this specific mixed-generation pair.

Synchronous Replication over IP (RCIP) requires 100GbE links minimum.

91. You are onsite to install a new HPE Synergy 12000 Frame. During the "Hardware Setup" phase, you connect the power cables. You notice that the "Front Panel Display" (Hood) does not power on, and the FLM link lights remain dark. You verify that the PDU is providing power.

What is the most likely installation error regarding the Frame Link Modules?

You forgot to install the "Synergy Console" battery.

The frame's "Master Power Switch" on the rear is set to Off.

The FLMs are missing; the frame cannot power on its management subsystem without at least one FLM installed.

The FLMs are installed in the wrong bays (e.g., Bay 2 only).

92. You are adding a Linux host to an NVMe-oF group on an HPE Alletra Storage MP. You need to provide the Host NQN (NVMe Qualified Name).

Which of the following represents a correctly formatted NQN?

nqn.2014-08.org.nvmexpress:uuid:e09a2b1c-3d4e-5f6g-7h8i-9j0k1l2m3n4o

50:01:43:80:05:68:5f:7e

iqn.2014-08.com.hpe:storage:uuid:12345

eui.0011223344556677

93. You have downloaded an "Artifact Bundle" from the HPE repository to update your Synergy environment. You attempt to upload this bundle into the Image Streamer appliance, but the upload fails with a "Signature Verification Error".

What is the most likely cause?

The Image Streamer appliance is in "Read-Only" mode.

The artifact bundle is for a different version of Image Streamer firmware (e.g., trying to upload a Gen11 bundle to a Gen10 appliance).

The bundle was modified or corrupted during download, breaking the cryptographic signature.

You are logged in as an "Infrastructure Administrator" instead of a "Server Administrator".

94. A customer is configuring their ESXi hosts to connect to an HPE Alletra 9000 active-active array. They are using the "Round Robin" Path Selection Policy (PSP).

To ensure optimal I/O load balancing and fast failover responsiveness across all active paths, what specific parameter change does HPE recommend for the NMP (Native Multipathing Plugin)?

Change the "IOPS Limit" (iops) from default 1000 to 1.

Change the "Bytes Limit" to 10 M

Disable "Path Failover Detection".

Switch the PSP to "Most Recently Used" (MRU).

95. You are attempting to apply a Server Profile in HPE OneView to a new HPE Synergy Compute Module. The profile status stays at "Error" with a message indicating "Profile affinity cannot be satisfied." You verify that the server hardware type matches the profile.

What is the most likely underlying configuration mismatch causing this error?

The iLO license on the server is "Standard" but the OneView license is "Advanced".

The firmware baseline selected in the profile is older than the currently installed firmware.

The server is powered on; profiles can only be applied when the server is powered off.

The server does not have the required Mezzanine cards installed to match the Logical Interconnect Group defined in the profile.

96. A customer needs a consolidated inventory report of all HPE ProLiant servers, Synergy frames, and Alletra storage arrays across five geographically separated data centers. Each data center has its own local HPE OneView appliance.

Which tool provides this unified, multi-site inventory view and reporting capability?

HPE GreenLake Central - Audit Log

HPE Intelligent Provisioning

HPE OneView Global Dashboard

HPE InfoSight Cross-Stack Analytics
