QuestionQ1

Design HPE solutions with a focus on AI and HPC workloads

A customer has developed a custom NIM and stores it in their NGC Private Registry. The customer wants to use that NIM in inferencing workloads running on HPE Private Cloud AI.

What should you recommend?

  • A Finding and importing NVIDIA AI blueprint that supports the custom NIM
  • B Using MLIS with an NGC registry that points to the customer’s private registry
  • C Using Ray Serve with custom-built deployments based on the custom NIM image
  • D Downloading the custom NIM to individual users’ models-pvc and manually creating KServe endpoints to deploy the NIM
Explanation

HPE MLIS can deploy NIM packaged models through an NGC registry. For organization-published customized NIMs, the NGC registry configuration uses the organization’s name, allowing MLIS to discover and deploy the NIMs available in that private registry.

QuestionQ2

Manage Customer Intent Documentation (CID) process to ensure the installation of the solution achieves the customer requirements

A customer must replace its ESXi servers, and you propose HPE ProLiant DL servers. The customer requires TPM attestation.

What should you recommend?

  • A Using the OneView for vCenter plug-in to deploy the ESXi OS images to the servers
  • B Replacing the servers’ default TPM certificates with a certificate signed by a private CA
  • C Purchasing servers with the trusted supply chain option
  • D Using the servers’ UEFI Secure Boot mode
Explanation

TPM attestation relies on a factory-provisioned System Initial Attestation Key (IAK) certificate whose corresponding private key is stored in the TPM. HPE’s trusted supply-chain capability provides the required factory trust and attestation identity; Secure Boot only protects the boot chain, and ESXi deployment tooling does not establish TPM attestation.

QuestionQ3

Design HPE solutions with a focus on AI and HPC workloads

A customer asks you to design a solution that provides effectively near-100% liquid cooling for their HPE Cray XD systems.

Which solution should you recommend?

  • A 100% DLC for the HPE Cray XD systems
  • B 70% DLC plus a closed-loop liquid cooling system for the HPE Cray XD Systems
  • C Closed-loop liquid cooling for the HPE Cray XD Systems plus an HPE ARCS
  • D 70% DLC for the HPE Cray XD systems plus an HPE RDHX
Explanation

HPE Cray XD 70% DLC transfers approximately 70% of server heat to water through cold plates, while the remaining heat is removed as exhaust air. An HPE RDHX neutralizes that exhaust heat using facility water, making the combined solution effectively near-100% liquid-cooled.

QuestionQ4

Design HPE solutions with a focus on AI and HPC workloads

An organization plans to run AI inference for customer service. It has strict environmental-efficiency standards and facility water access at the rack.

Which server configuration do you recommend?

  • A HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen12 with closed-loop liquid cooling
  • B HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen 12 with liquid-to-air rear-door cooling
  • C HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen12 with high-performance heat sinks
  • D HPE ProLiant DL380a Gen12 with 70% DLC
Explanation

HPE ProLiant Compute DL380a Gen12 is designed for AI inference and supports direct liquid cooling. A 70% DLC configuration transfers most server heat to facility water, reducing the cooling burden associated with air-based heat rejection and making it the most environmentally efficient option when rack-level facility water is available.

QuestionQ5

Explain HPE compute AI and HPC solution components and architecture

What is an advantage of the secure enclave in HPE iLO 7?

  • A Hardware-based vault for encryption key storage
  • B Multiple channels to the server processor to support real-time security reports
  • C Malware detection based on an extensive cloud-based signature database
  • D Integration with third-party distributed, stateful firewalls
Explanation

The secure enclave provides hardware-backed, protected storage for cryptographic keys used for encryption and decryption, functioning as a secure key vault.
