• Question 21:

  Which statement is correct when deploying an HPE Zerto DR solution where an Extended Journal Copy is required with a one-year retention period?

  A. An additional license is required to enable the Extended Journal Copy feature.
  B. HPE Zerto integrates with HPE StoreOnce to enable long-term retention for Extended Journal Copies.
  C. Extended Journal Copies always come from the target site to avoid impact on the production site.
  D. HPE Zerto supports a maximum of 30-day retention and cannot exceed this period.
  B. HPE Zerto integrates with HPE StoreOnce to enable long-term retention for Extended Journal Copies.

  ---

  Zerto Extended Journal allows retention up to one year by integrating with secondary storage like HPE StoreOnce . Short-term journals (seconds to days) reside on primary replication storage, while long-term copies (weeks/months/years) are offloaded to StoreOnce for cost-efficient retention.

  A: No separate license is required - it is a standard Zerto feature when integrated.

  C: Extended Journals can be sourced from production or target, depending on setup; not "always" target.

  D: Incorrect - Zerto supports >30 days retention with Extended Journal. Key Concept: Zerto + HPE StoreOnce for long-term DR retention. Reference: HPE Zerto with StoreOnce White Paper .

• Question 22:

  You are reviewing a BOM for expanding an HPE Alletra 6000 with one additional expansion shelf. The shelf is listed, but the customer wants you to confirm nothing is missing for a successful installation. What is the most important accessory to validate is included for the shelf to function?

  A. Backend 24G SAS cables for shelf attachment
  B. A pair of 100GbE OCP adapters for controller-to-shelf connectivity
  C. QSFP28 optics for the shelf interconnect
  D. Additional NVMe license entitlement for the shelf media
  A. Backend 24G SAS cables for shelf attachment

  ---

  Alletra 6000 expansion shelves attach using backend SAS connectivity. The required SAS cabling must be included to connect the shelf to the controllers. B/C: Expansion shelves do not attach over 100GbE or QSFP optics; those are front-end networking components.

  D: Shelf operation does not depend on an "NVMe license"; the physical connectivity and supported components are the key considerations.

  Key Concept: Alletra 6000 shelves require backend SAS connectivity accessories.

• Question 23:

  An HPE Alletra 6030 with 138TB flash kit needs a storage expansion. The BOM lists only a 46TB Expansion Shelf, including price. What should you take into account?

  A. The expansion shelf needs to include the 24G SAS cables.
  B. Total supported capacity will be exceeded with the proposed configuration.
  C. Both Controllers need 100Gb OCP adapters for the expansion shelf connection.
  D. QSFP+ DAC cables are required if NVMe media is used.
  A. The expansion shelf needs to include the 24G SAS cables.

  ---

  Alletra 6000 expansion shelves connect via 24G SAS back-end connectivity. The BOM must include the required SAS cables to properly attach the shelf. If only the shelf is listed, it's incomplete - SAS connectivity accessories must be added.

  B: The supported max capacity is higher than 138TB + 46TB, so it won't exceed limits.

  C: Expansion shelves don't use OCP adapters; they rely on SAS backend ports.

  D: QSFP+ DACs are used for front-end networking (iSCSI/FC), not SAS shelf expansion. Key Concept: Alletra 6000 expansions require 24G SAS cables included in the BOM. Reference: HPE Alletra 6000 Hardware Installation Guide.

• Question 24:

  Refer to the exhibit.

  

  A junior engineer is expanding a StoreOnce deployment for a law firm with a hybrid environment. The customer already has Veeam backing up to StoreOnce 3660 Gen 4 at both primary and secondary sites. They want to add Cloud Bank Storage (CBS) to archive into AWS Glacier tier for compliance. The junior engineer has added Cloud Bank licenses for the 80TB onsite capacity at the primary office. What does the junior engineer need to add to enable this scenario?

  A. Federated Management
  B. Cloud Bank Storage for AWS Glacier
  C. Catalyst License for StoreOnce-B
  D. Detach License on StoreOnce-A
  D. Detach License on StoreOnce-A

• Question 25:

  A customer is planning to deploy Kubernetes applications that require persistent volumes on an HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. The CSI driver is already installed, and the backend secret has been created successfully. What is the next required step to enable dynamic provisioning for application teams?

  A. Create a StorageClass referencing the CSI driver and backend parameters
  B. Manually create a PersistentVolume for each application namespace
  C. Restart all worker nodes so the CSI driver registers with kubelet
  D. Create a Pod first so Kubernetes auto-generates a PersistentVolumeClaim
  A. Create a StorageClass referencing the CSI driver and backend parameters

  ---

  In the standard Kubernetes CSI workflow, a StorageClass is required for dynamic provisioning. Once defined, application teams can create PVCs that reference the StorageClass to automatically provision PVs.

  B: Manual PV creation is possible but is not the typical dynamic provisioning path.

  C: Node restarts are not a required next step if the CSI deployment is healthy.

  D: Pods do not auto-generate PVCs; storage is requested via PVCs/StorageClass. Key Concept: Secret StorageClass PVC Pod is the typical CSI consumption path. Reference: HPE CSI deployment workflow guidance.

• Question 26:

  You are troubleshooting a storage environment using HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 in a Peer Persistence configuration. A customer reports high latency when accessing data from applications. When reviewing the MPIO path status on the host, what should be the path status for connections to the storage array located in the remote data center?

  A. Active Optimized
  B. Passive
  C. Active Non-optimized
  D. Standby
  C. Active Non-optimized

  ---

  In an HPE Peer Persistence configuration (supported on HPE Alletra MP, Primera, and 3PAR), hosts see volumes presented from arrays at both sites. For optimal load balancing and transparent failover, the local array paths are shown as "Active Optimized" while the remote array paths are marked "Active Non- optimized" . The "Non-optimized" label indicates these paths are functional but involve remote access with higher latency. This design ensures automatic transparent failover if the local site becomes unavailable.

  A: "Active Optimized" applies only to local array paths, not remote ones.

  B: Passive paths are typical of ALUA implementations without Peer Persistence, not here.

  D: "Standby" is not the term used in Peer Persistence multipathing.

  Key Concept: MPIO with Peer Persistence (ALUA Active/Active configuration) .

• Question 27:

  A customer is planning an HPE Alletra MP B10000 deployment and wants the highest availability level to tolerate the loss of an entire drive enclosure. They ask what impact this choice has on capacity planning. What is the expected impact when switching HA from drive-level protection to enclosure-level protection in a supported configuration?

  A. Usable capacity decreases due to additional reserve overhead
  B. Usable capacity increases because rebuilds are faster
  C. Estimated performance always increases because more parity is available
  D. The configuration becomes invalid unless the system is converted to iSCSI
  A. Usable capacity decreases due to additional reserve overhead

  ---

  Enclosure-level HA requires reserving more capacity to survive an enclosure failure, reducing usable capacity compared to drive-level HA.

  B: Additional protection does not increase usable capacity.

  C: Parity/reserve changes do not guarantee higher performance; the primary impact is capacity overhead.

  D: HA selection is independent of protocol choice (FC/iSCSI), assuming supported design rules are met.

  Key Concept: Higher HA level increases reserve overhead and reduces usable capacity.

• Question 28:

  You need to evaluate a customer's virtual server environment to size an HCI solution based on HPE SimpliVity according to usage metrics over time. The environment consists of Dell servers and storage running VMware virtualization . Which action can you use to gather the usage metrics of this setup?

  A. Use HPE NinjaOnline SimpliVity Sizer to gather the usage metrics of the current environment and have them imported directly into the sizer.
  B. Use the HPE InfoSight Primary Storage sizing tool to calculate the competitive performance metrics.
  C. Import the HPE CloudPhysics Observer to the vCenter cluster to gather the analytics.
  D. Use HPE InfoSight for SimpliVity to gather data from external compute clusters.
  C. Import the HPE CloudPhysics Observer to the vCenter cluster to gather the analytics.

  ---

  For competitive or 3rd-party (non-HPE) environments like Dell + VMware, HPE CloudPhysics is the correct tool. The Observer VM is deployed into vCenter to gather real-world workload metrics (CPU, memory, storage I/O). These analytics can then be used for SimpliVity HCI sizing .

  A: NinjaOnline SimpliVity Sizer requires input metrics, but it cannot directly collect from 3rd-party environments.

  B: InfoSight sizing applies to HPE arrays, not competitive storage.

  D: InfoSight for SimpliVity only monitors existing HPE SimpliVity clusters.

  Key Concept: CloudPhysics Observer # gathers competitive workload metrics # feeds into SimpliVity sizing.

  A. Simulator for VM Rightsizing
  B. Reclaimable VMware vDisk Space
  C. Storage Space Management
  D. Backup Readiness Planning
  A. Simulator for VM Rightsizing

  ---

  The VM Rightsizing simulator focuses on CPU and memory utilization versus allocation, helping identify over- and underprovisioned VMs for accurate sizing decisions.

  B: vDisk reclaim focuses on storage waste within virtual disks, not CPU/RAM.

  C: Storage space management focuses on datastore capacity trends and usage.

  D: Backup readiness is not a rightsizing-focused deck.

  Key Concept: Rightsizing decks target compute allocation efficiency for refresh planning.
