Two HPE Alletra 6000 arrays are configured for peer persistence between datacenters A and B, which have a fiber distance of 50km (31mi). The datacenter B hardware will be relocated to a new location that will increase the fiber distance to 150km (93mi).
Which condition is valid once the relocation is finished?

• A.The peer persistence configuration is supported, when latency remains <10ms.
• B.The peer persistence replication links need to be changed to RC transport.
• C.The peer persistence setup needs to be changed to active peer persistence.
• D.The fiber distance exceeds the distance supported for peer persistence setup.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
HPE Peer Persistence is supported over distances of up to 150C200 km, as long as the round-trip latency is ≤10ms. Therefore, even after relocation to 150km, Peer Persistence remains supported provided latency requirements are met.
Distractors:
B: RC (Remote Copy) transport is already the underlying technology, but no change is required.
C: Peer Persistence is already an active-active design; no change to “active” mode is needed.
D: Distance does not exceed the supported range; only latency matters.
Key Concept: Latency <10ms is the critical requirement for Peer Persistence.

Question No : 2

Your customer is using 2 HPE StoreOnce appliances across 2 sites with replication enabled for disaster recovery. They are concerned about the fact that the StoreOnce administrators have full access to the systems, which allows them to delete backup copies on these systems.
What needs to be used to address the concern of your customer?

• A.Dual Authorization
• B.Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP)
• C.Data at rest encryption
• D.Resource restriction policies

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
HPE StoreOnce Dual Authorization prevents a single administrator from deleting, expiring, or modifying backup data. Instead, any destructive action requires approval from a second administrator, mitigating insider threats and accidental deletions. This is the correct feature for immutability protection in a replicated StoreOnce environment.
Distractors:
B (CHAP): Used for iSCSI authentication, not backup immutability.
C: Encryption protects data confidentiality, not accidental deletion.
D: Resource restrictions are policy-driven but don’t enforce dual control over destructive actions.
Key Concept: Dual Authorization for ransomware and insider-threat protection on StoreOnce.
Reference: HPE StoreOnce Security Features White Paper.

Question No : 3

Refer to the exhibit.



Your customer had an unexpected failure of their current storage array, causing them to lose some of their critical data. As a result, they are looking for a storage array with a guarantee of 100% data availability to prevent this failure and loss in the future.
They need 80TB raw and two new 25GbE top-of-rack switches to connect to their environment.
They expect 5% annual growth.
Which correction should be made to the configuration in the exhibit to meet the customer’s requirements?

• A.Change to 25G networking
• B.Decrease to 20 × 3.84TB drives
• C.HPE GreenLake financial model
• D.Add 2× Aruba 8325 switches

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
The exhibit shows the use of 32Gb FC HBAs and 100GbE switches (Aruba 100G). However, the customer specifically requires 25GbE top-of-rack switches. Therefore, the configuration needs to be corrected to 25GbE networking. The HPE Alletra MP B10000 guarantees 100% data availability SLA, so the primary correction is networking alignment, not drives or financial model.
Distractors:
B: Reducing drives reduces raw capacity below 80TB requirement.
C: GreenLake is a consumption model but not the technical correction required.
D: Aruba 8325 is a core switch option; customer only asked for ToR 25GbE.
Key Concept: Networking alignment with requirements.

Question No : 4

While attempting to increase an upstream volume size for an Alletra 6000 Peer Persistence setup from local web management, you are facing an error that prevents you from completing the task.
Which action is required to complete the task successfully?

• A.Remove the upstream volume, volume collection before increasing the upstream volume.
• B.Remove the downstream volume, volume collection before increasing the upstream volume.
• C.Use the Data Services Cloud Console to grow the upstream volume.
• D.Increase the size of the volume in VMware HPE Storage plugin.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
In Alletra 6000 Peer Persistence environments, operations like resizing Peer Persistence volumes must be performed via the HPE Data Services Cloud Console (DSCC), which manages volume collections and replication consistency groups. Attempting to grow the upstream volume locally will fail because the changes need to propagate across both sites consistently.
Distractors:
A/B: Removing upstream or downstream volumes would break replication and is not required.
D: Expanding in VMware only extends the VMFS datastore, not the underlying replicated volume. Key Concept: Peer Persistence volume resizing is done in DSCC, not local web GUI.
Reference: HPE Alletra 6000 Peer Persistence Configuration and Management Guide.

Question No : 5

Two HPE Storage Alletra MP B10000 arrays are deployed with Active Peer Persistence. Both arrays and hosts are installed in close proximity to each other. To enable symmetric access, Peer Persistence must be configured accordingly.
Which Host Proximity Parameter should be selected for host ESX31 in this case?

• A.Secondary
• B.All
• C.Exclusive
• D.Primary

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
Option B (All) is correct because in an Active Peer Persistence deployment where both arrays and hosts are in close proximity (metro or campus cluster scenario), the hosts should be configured with Host Proximity = All. This ensures that the host (ESX31) can access both arrays symmetrically and concurrently, enabling active-active paths. This is essential to deliver seamless failover and load balancing across the arrays in an HPE Alletra MP Peer Persistence environment. Analysis of Incorrect Options (Distractors):
A (Secondary): This is used for hosts located closer to the secondary array, to bias access toward it in asymmetric deployments. Not applicable here since the hosts are near both arrays.
C (Exclusive): This option assigns the host to a single array exclusively, preventing dual-active access.
This would defeat the purpose of symmetric Peer Persistence.
D (Primary): Similar to Secondary, this biases access to only the primary array, which is not correct when arrays and hosts are in the same site for active-active.
Key Concept:
This question focuses on Host Proximity parameters in HPE Peer Persistence.
Primary/Secondary = asymmetric designs (hosts closer to one array).
All = symmetric design (hosts equidistant to both arrays, enabling active-active).
Exclusive = restricts access to one array only.

• A.Import the HPE CloudPhysics.vhdx collector to the Hyper-V cluster to gather the analytics.
• B.Use the HPE InfoSight Primary Storage sizing tool to calculate the competitive performance metrics.
• C.Install the SAFcollector agents into the environment and use SAFanalyze to import the agent output.
• D.Export the Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager database for NinjaProtected analysis.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
HPE CloudPhysics provides comprehensive environment assessment and competitive sizing for virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V, etc.). The CloudPhysics collector (available as a .vhdx for Hyper-V) is deployed into the cluster to gather metrics on CPU, memory, storage IOPS/latency, and utilization trends. These analytics feed into the sizing of HPE storage solutions.
Distractors:
B: InfoSight sizing tools work with HPE systems, not competitive 3rd-party storage like Pure.
C: SAF is a manual assessment requiring email submission and is not the correct modern method for this case.
D: NinjaProtected applies to backup analysis, not production Hyper-V cluster sizing.
Key Concept: CloudPhysics.vhdx collector for Hyper-V sizing with 3rd-party infrastructure.

Question No : 7

A global financial services company is looking to enhance its disaster recovery (DR) capabilities. They operate VMware workloads across multiple data centers and a mix of AWS and Azure cloud workloads. They need a solution that can replicate data with near-zero recovery point objectives (RPOs) and orchestrate rapid recovery of critical applications in case of a site-wide failure.

• A.Zerto
• B.CommVault
• C.Cohesity
• D.SimpliVity

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
Zerto, now part of HPE, provides continuous data protection (CDP) with near-zero RPOs and very low RTOs. It supports VMware workloads, as well as hybrid cloud deployments with AWS and Azure. Zerto is specifically designed for disaster recovery orchestration, enabling automated failover, failback, and application-consistent protection across sites and cloud environments.
Distractors:
B (CommVault): Primarily a backup/recovery and data management platform ― RPOs are not near-zero.
C (Cohesity): Strong in backup, secondary storage, and ransomware recovery, but not near-zero RPO DR orchestration.
D (SimpliVity): Hyperconverged infrastructure with built-in backup, but not optimized for large-scale multi-cloud DR.
Key Concept: Continuous Data Protection (Zerto) for hybrid/multi-cloud disaster recovery.
Reference: HPE Zerto DR for Hybrid and Multi-cloud Environments.

Question No : 8

Refer to the exhibit of Zerto Vault architecture.



Which statement about the Zerto Vault architecture is correct?

• A.Data is replicated via encrypted periodic replication between Production and the Replication Target.
• B.Data is replicated via encrypted periodic replication between the Replication Target and the Vault.
• C.The Resilience Automation Server manages port access between Production and the Replication Target.
• D.Immutable snapshots of all Zerto components are taken at the Replication Target and replicated to the Vault.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
In the Zerto Vault architecture, production workloads replicate continuously to a Replication Target (secondary site). From there, data is further replicated periodically and encrypted into the Vault (air-gapped, isolated site). This two-step process ensures ransomware resilience and immutability, as the Vault acts as a hardened third copy.
Distractors:
A: Production-to-replication target traffic is continuous synchronous/asynchronous replication, not periodic. Periodic replication applies to Replication Target → Vault.
C: The Resilience Automation Server (RAS) is responsible for orchestrating failover and immutability enforcement, but it does not control port access between production and replication target.
D: Snapshots of Zerto components are not what is replicated ― it’s application data VMs/volumes. The Vault ensures immutability of replicated data, not ZVM components.
Key Concept: Zerto Vault = encrypted, periodic replication from replication target to immutable vault.

Which statement is true regarding HPE's SAP HANA solutions?

• A.HPE supplies custom HANA licenses exclusive for HPE appliances.
• B.Customers can reduce licensing costs with Alletra MP Block.
• C.77% of customers prefer SAP HANA solutions on HP
• D.About 40% of HANA infrastructure runs on HP

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
HPE is one of the leading infrastructure providers for SAP HANA, with ~40% of global SAP HANA deployments running on HPE platforms (ProLiant, Alletra, Nimble/Primera for storage). This is an official HPE statistic repeatedly cited in white papers and customer references.
Distractors:
A: SAP HANA licensing is provided directly by SAP, not custom-issued by HPE.
B: Licensing costs are tied to SAP metrics (memory size), not Alletra storage type.
C: “77% prefer” is a marketing exaggeration and not the accurate documented figure. Key Concept: HPE’s strong positioning in SAP HANA infrastructure market share.

You are sizing an HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 as shown in the graphic below.
What change must be made to the current storage configuration to achieve maximum IOPS performance?

• A.Additional network cards or HBAs need to be added for more throughput
• B.Additional disks need to be added to the system
• C.No change needed ― the system is already operating at maximum performance
• D.The controller must be upgraded to a 32-core model

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
From the exhibit, the system shows maximum estimated IOPS performance (over 250K IOPS read, 115K IOPS mixed, 62K write). These values align with HPE’s published performance specifications for this model with full cores enabled. The network interface count and disk count are balanced relative to controller capability. Therefore, no further upgrades are required to achieve maximum performance.
Distractors:
A: Adding NICs/HBAs may improve throughput but will not exceed controller-bound IOPS.
B: Adding disks increases capacity, not peak IOPS, as performance is primarily controller-driven.
D: The system already matches controller capability; upgrading cores is not an option in Alletra MP B10000 mid-range systems.
Key Concept: Understanding performance sizing based on controller and architecture limits, not just capacity or NICs.
Reference: HPE Alletra MP Performance and Sizing Guide.

Your customer wants to use their HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 array to store persistent data for Kubernetes-based applications. After deploying the CSI driver using Helm and creating the secret with the command kubectl create -f hpe-backed.yaml, what is the next required step to enable the containerized applications to consume persistent volumes on the Alletra MP array?

• A.Update the Helm repository by using helm repo update to recognize the CSI driver
• B.Create a PersistentVolumeClaim by using kubectl create -f my-pvc.yaml
• C.Create a PersistentVolume by using kubectl create -f pv.yaml
• D.Define a StorageClass by running kubectl create -f storageclass.yaml

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
After installing the HPE CSI driver and creating backend secrets, the next critical step is to define a StorageClass that references the backend driver and parameters. Without the StorageClass, Kubernetes cannot dynamically provision PersistentVolumes (PVs). Once the StorageClass is created, workloads can request storage using PersistentVolumeClaims (PVCs).
Distractors:
A: Helm repo update only refreshes Helm charts; it does not enable CSI provisioning.
B: A PVC requires a StorageClass to bind dynamically ― it cannot be created successfully beforehand.
C: Manually creating PVs is possible, but not the HPE best practice with CSI, which relies on StorageClass for dynamic provisioning.
Key Concept: Kubernetes CSI workflow: Secret → StorageClass → PVC → Pod.

A junior engineer doing their first assessment makes the comment that all assessments are basically done “entirely by the assessment tool” and all they must do is start the process in the HPE website. You caution them that some assessment tools require a manual email by the engineer to HPE to really start the process.
Which type of assessments require an email?

• A.Backup
• B.SAF
• C.Non-HPE
• D.CloudPhysics

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
The SAF (Storage Assessment Framework) requires engineers to manually email the collected assessment data to HPE for processing. This is different from fully automated tools like CloudPhysics or Backup assessments that integrate directly with portals. This distinction is important for new engineers performing customer assessments.
Distractors:
A: Backup assessments are usually tool-driven (StoreOnce, RMC, etc.) and automated.
C: Non-HPE assessments are outside scope and not part of HPE standard process.
D: CloudPhysics is fully automated and cloud-based ― no manual email required. Key Concept: SAF = requires manual email submission to HPE.

Your customer is a regional bank with branches in two different cities. Each branch is run as an isolated independent business and IT manages their SANs as separate fabrics to limit the scope of any failure. They use B-Series Switches.
The customer has requested a disaster recovery option that will allow replication between the two
sites without merging the fabrics.
Which SAN technology meets the requirements?

• A.FCIP
• B.FC-FC routing
• C.NPIV
• D.Fabric partitioning

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
FC-FC routing (also known as Fibre Channel Routing / LSANs on B-Series switches) allows replication
between separate SAN fabrics without merging them. This supports disaster recovery scenarios
while preserving fabric isolation, exactly matching the bank’s requirement.
Distractors:
A: FCIP tunnels extend Fibre Channel over IP networks, but this typically merges SAN domains.
C: NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) allows multiple virtual WWNs per port, not cross-fabric replication.
D: Fabric partitioning is zoning and segmentation within a single fabric, not between independent fabrics.
Key Concept: FC-FC routing on Brocade (B-Series) for SAN isolation with replication.

The above image represents an existing Alletra 6000 Peer Persistence configuration.
Which statement could be true in this scenario?

• A.The amount of active (0) paths could reduce the performance of the array.
• B.The performance of the array could be reduced due to the amount of paths active.
• C.The performance of the array could be reduced due to a missing controller.

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
In the exhibit, several paths show “Standby” and some appear “Dead”, while only a subset is Active (0). This typically indicates that one storage controller may be missing or offline, which reduces redundancy and can cause performance degradation. In a healthy Peer Persistence environment, both controllers should present active and non-optimized paths.
Distractors:
A & B: Having multiple active paths does not inherently reduce performance; in fact, MPIO load balances traffic. The issue here is path failures, not excessive active paths. Key Concept: MPIO pathing in HPE Peer Persistence and controller health.

Question No : 15

You are migrating your customer's virtualization platform from an old third-party storage array to a newly installed HPE Alletra MP B10000 array. You are using HPE Zerto Move for the migration.
Which statement is correct when using HPE Zerto Move compared to the typical Failover feature?

• A.The Zerto Checkpoint (and RPO) is user-selectable during the move
• B.The source VMs are deleted automatically after the migration
• C.You can keep the source VMs after the migration
• D.The migration results in an RPO and RTO of seconds

답을 확인하기

정답:
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer
When using Zerto Move, unlike a typical disaster recovery failover, the migration process allows the source VMs to be retained after cutover. This is useful when testing or validating the migration. In contrast, failover scenarios typically assume the source environment has failed or is decommissioned. Therefore, keeping source VMs is a differentiator for Move.
Distractors:
A: Checkpoints and RPO are controlled by Zerto replication but are not selectable per migration cutover in this way.
B: Source VMs are not deleted automatically; this is intentionally avoided to allow rollback.
D: While Zerto does provide low RPO/RTO (seconds to minutes), this applies mainly to DR failover, not migration cutovers.
Key Concept: Zerto Move vs Zerto Failover semantics.
