QuestionQ1

Planning and Designing Tools

A customer requires a solution that supports Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and database workloads.

Which two factors are pertinent to the proposed customer solution?

Choose two
  • A supports scale-up
  • B supports an intel Phi coprocessor
  • C supports scale-out
  • D supports a workload accelerator
  • E supports dual channel SAS connectivity
Explanation

OLTP database deployments commonly benefit from scale-up capacity for substantial compute and memory resources and from workload accelerators that reduce storage latency and improve transaction throughput. HPE PCIe Workload Accelerators provide low-latency data access, and HPE documents SQL Server transaction-performance gains with these accelerators.

QuestionQ2

HPE ProLiant Rack Servers

A customer uses HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 servers running a Microsoft Exchange Database Availability Group cluster. The customer must maximize storage performance for the Microsoft Exchange application.

Which component should the architect recommend to the customer?

  • A Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor
  • B PCIe Workload Accelerator
  • C NAND flash drives
  • D Smart Storage battery
Explanation

HPE PCIe Workload Accelerators are PCIe card-based, direct-attached solid-state storage solutions that increase I/O performance and reduce latency. This directly supports high-performance Exchange storage workloads on supported ProLiant Gen9 servers. A Smart Storage battery provides cache power protection, while a Xeon Phi coprocessor targets compute workloads rather than storage I/O.

QuestionQ3

HPE Synergy (multi-frame)

A customer has multiple server blades paired with HPE D222osb Storage Blades. The customer requires a solution that helps share Storage Blade capacity with server blades in a different enclosure.

Which solution should the architect recommend to the customer?

  • A Connect HPE D222osb Storage Blades to the FC switches shared by both enclosures.
  • B Add server blades and storage blades to HPE OneView and use it to perform storage management and presentation.
  • C Install HPE StoreServer Management Console and use it to create storage capacity resource pool with sharing enabled.
  • D Deploy HPE StoreVirtual VSA and share available capacity through iSCSI protocol.
Explanation

HPE D2220sb Storage Blades are direct-attached to their adjacent partner server blades through the enclosure backplane. Deploying HPE StoreVirtual VSA converts available capacity into shared storage that can be presented over iSCSI, enabling access by server blades located in another enclosure.

QuestionQ4

HPE ProLiant Rack Servers

A customer is running a database application on a server with these specifications:

  • HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen8
  • 24 GB RDIMMs
  • HPE Dynamic Smart Array B320i Controller
  • 6 SFF SSD drives
  • Microsoft Windows 2012 R2

Users report database-performance issues and request an infrastructure update. However, the customer is currently unable to invest in a new server.

Which action can the customer take to improve database performance?

  • A Replace RDIMMs with LRDIMMs.
  • B Replace the Dynamic Smart Array with an HPE SmartArray P440 controller with HPE SSD Smart Path support.
  • C Install an intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor with a Smart Storage Battery.
  • D Add a second Dynamic SmartArray controller and connect the controllers in link mode.
Explanation

HPE SSD Smart Path, available with supported HPE Smart Array P-series controllers such as the P440, optimizes the I/O path for SSD logical drives and can improve SSD storage performance. Replacing the Dynamic Smart Array B320i with a P440 that supports this capability directly addresses a likely database I/O bottleneck without replacing the server.

QuestionQ5

Management Tools

An architect designed a server solution for a customer that includes a ProLiant BL460c Gen9 server with a SmartArray P244br controller. The customer must be able to configure, manage, and troubleshoot the locally attached storage in this solution.

Which HPE tool should the architect recommend to the customer?

  • A HPE Insight Remote Support
  • B HPE iLO
  • C HPE Smart Storage Administrator
  • D HPE Array Configuration Utility
Explanation

HPE Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) is the web-based tool for configuring, managing, diagnosing, and monitoring HPE ProLiant Smart Array controllers and their directly attached storage. SSA replaced the older Array Configuration Utility (ACU).
