QuestionQ1

Differentiate the functions, features, and capabilities of HPE Storage products, solutions, and warranty service offerings

Which data-availability technology in the HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 controller can withstand drive failures?

Explanation

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 supports RAID 6, including the RAID 6 (10+2) configuration. RAID 6 maintains dual parity, so data remains available after up to two drive failures in the RAID set.

QuestionQ2

Differentiate and apply foundational storage architectures and technologies

Which low-latency protocol would you recommend for a local flash-based drive attached directly to PCIe, thereby removing the performance penalty of an array controller?

Explanation

NVMe is the storage protocol designed for direct PCIe-attached nonvolatile memory, providing a lower-latency, more efficient path for SSDs than older SATA or SAS interfaces.

QuestionQ3

Differentiate and apply foundational storage architectures and technologies

Which concept can limit access to a virtual volume for a particular server?

Explanation

Selective storage presentation uses host-based access controls (often implemented as an ACL) to present a virtual volume or LUN only to authorized servers.

QuestionQ4

Differentiate the functions, features, and capabilities of HPE Storage products, solutions, and warranty service offerings

What is the maximum number of ISLs that may be combined to improve the performance and availability of switch connections in a B-Series trunk group?

Explanation

Brocade B-Series frame-based ISL trunking supports combining up to eight ISL ports in a single trunk group. This aggregates bandwidth while maintaining in-order delivery and improves connection availability.

QuestionQ5

Differentiate the functions, features, and capabilities of HPE Storage products, solutions, and warranty service offerings

What is the maximum supported set-size value for an HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 system fitted with two enclosures/cages, when considering the high-availability (HA) level for a drive/disk?

Explanation

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 supports RAID 6, and HPE’s QuickSpecs identify RAID 6 (10+2) as the configuration used for capacity sizing. Thus, the largest supported set comprises 10 data drives plus 2 parity drives; 8+2 is a smaller RAID 6 set, not the maximum.
