QuestionQ6

Provision Hybrid IT infrastructure using HPE OneView

You initially configured the boot mode for an HPE ProLiant Gen10 server as Legacy BIOS in an HPE OneView server profile and deployed an operating system. A few weeks later, you change the boot mode to UEFI optimized to use features provided by that mode.

What must you do next?

  • A reset an iLO management processor to activate the new boot mode for the server
  • B reinstall an operating system, as UEFI is using different drive format than Legacy BIOS
  • C reset BIOS settings to the defaults so UEFI settings can be applied
  • D reset BIOS settings to the defaults through the server profile after changing the boot mode
Explanation

The operating system installation must match the server boot mode. A Legacy BIOS installation does not provide the GPT/EFI boot configuration required by UEFI optimized mode, so the operating system must be reinstalled for UEFI booting. HPE documentation states that changing boot mode can affect the server’s ability to boot the installed operating system.
