HPE0-V26 Delta - HPE Hybrid Cloud Solutions Questions and Answers

HPE GreenLake for storage is a storage-as-a-service solution that provides a cloud-like experience for on-premises storage. The solution offers:

• Workload-optimized data services for file, block, backup, and disaster recovery
• A cloud-based management console for simplified operations and provisioning
• A consumption-based model that aligns costs with usage
• A buffer capacity that is installed but not activated until needed
• A pay-per-use billing that only charges for the capacity used above the reserve level

By migrating to HPE GreenLake for storage, the customer can avoid running out of storage on their virtual environment by using the buffer capacity as needed and only paying for what they use. The customer can also benefit from the flexibility, scalability, and performance of the storage services offered by HPE GreenLake.

According to HPE, iLO 5 is a remote management solution that enables you to configure, monitor, and update your HPE servers seamlessly from anywhere in the world1. It also provides firmware update capabilities for HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus servers2. With iLO 5, you can demonstrate how to update the firmware for multiple servers easily and securely.

CloudPhysics is a tool that provides a comprehensive assessment of VMware environments and helps identify opportunities for optimization and modernization. CloudPhysics can also generate a ready-to-order bill of materials for HPE solutions based on the customer’s workload requirements.

The other options do not seem to be suitable for performing an assessment of a VMware environment. OneView is a tool for managing HPE servers, storage, and networking2. GreenLake Quick Quote is a tool for creating quotes for HPE GreenLake services3. InfoSight is a tool for monitoring and managing HPE storage systems.

According to HPE, SmartSSD Wear Gauge is a feature that provides an estimate of the remaining useful life of an SSD drive based on its usage patterns1. It can help you monitor the health and performance of your SSD drives and plan for replacement or upgrade when needed1.

Library and Tape Tools and HPF StoreEver TapeAssure Advanced Software: This combination is correct, as Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) is a diagnostic tool that allows you to perform firmware upgrades, run tests, and verify data on tape devices. HPE StoreEver TapeAssure Advanced Software is a software that provides data integrity, performance, health, and utilization reports for tape drives and cartridges, and it works with L&TT to perform data verification2 .

• MSA 2062: A customer needs a low cost entry-level storage appliance with automatic tiering for their Fibre Channel environment
• MSL2024: A hospital wants to store air-gapped copies of their medical imaging to protect against ransomware attacks and natural disasters
• StoreEasy 1560: A small software development company needs a solution for their growing file shares in their Microsoft environment
• StoreOnce VSA: Customer wants to backup and quickly recover their Hyper-V environment in a remote site with an option to backup to the cloud

This is because:

• MSA 2062: This is a flash-enabled storage appliance that supports Fibre Channel, iSCSI and SAS connectivity. It offers automatic tiering that optimizes performance and cost by moving data between SSDs and HDDs based on usage patterns.
• MSL2024: This is a tape library that supports up to 24 LTO tape cartridges and one or two tape drives. It provides offline data protection and long-term retention for compliance and disaster recovery purposes. It can also create air-gapped copies of data that are isolated from network threats such as ransomware.
• StoreEasy 1560: This is a file storage appliance that supports SMB, NFS and FTP protocols. It is optimized for Microsoft environments and integrates with Active Directory, BitLocker encryption, Windows Storage Server and Windows Server Backup. It can scale up to 16 TB of internal capacity and 280 TB of external capacity.
• StoreOnce VSA: This is a virtual storage appliance that provides backup and recovery for virtualized environments. It supports Hyper-V, VMware and KVM hypervisors and integrates with backup applications such as HPE Data Protector and Veeam. It can also deduplicate data and replicate it to another StoreOnce system or to the cloud.

According to the HPE website, HPE InfoSight supports automatic case creation for HPE ProLiant servers that are connected to HPE InfoSight through HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Amplifier Pack1. The ProLiant DL560 Gen10 is one of the supported servers that can benefit from this feature1.

 one of the topics covered in the module 4 of the Implementing HPE MSA Storage Solutions course is “Explain the firmware update process on MSA”. This suggests that the firmware update is a maintenance task that can be performed with the Storage Management utility v4.

• RAID 1: any single drive
• RAID 1 ADM: any two drives
• RAID 5: any single drive
• RAID 6: any two drives

• RAID 1: This is a level of RAID that uses mirroring to create an exact copy of data on two or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any single drive without losing data, as long as the other drive is still functional.
• RAID 1 ADM: This is a level of RAID that uses advanced data mirroring to create two copies of data on three disks. It can tolerate the failure of any two drives without losing data, as long as the third drive is still functional.
• RAID 5: This is a level of RAID that uses striping with parity to distribute data and parity information across three or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any single drive without losing data, as long as the other drives can reconstruct the data from the parity information.
• RAID 6: This is a level of RAID that uses striping with double parity to distribute data and two sets of parity information across four or more disks. It can tolerate the failure of any two drives without losing data, as long as the other drives can reconstruct the data from the double parity information.

According to HPE, HPE InfoSight is a cloud-based AI platform that delivers global visibility and insights into the health, performance, and capacity of your HPE storage and servers. It can also centralize the monitoring and lifecycle management of multiple HPE ProLiant servers deployed in remote sites using a single dashboard1. With HPE InfoSight, you can demonstrate how to simplify and optimize your customer’s IT operations from edge to cloud.

HPE GreenLake Central is a self-service platform that gives customers a consistent cloud experience for all their applications and data, across edges, colocations, and data centers. Some of the features of HPE GreenLake Central include:

• Easily monitor cloud costs and usage: HPE GreenLake Central provides customers with visibility and control over their cloud spending and consumption across hybrid environments. Customers can view their usage and costs by service, location, application, or business unit. They can also set budgets, alerts, and policies to optimize their cloud resources and expenses.
• Grow resources as needed: HPE GreenLake Central enables customers to scale up or down their cloud services and resources as their business needs change. Customers can access a catalog of cloud services from HPE and partners through a self-service portal and order them with a few clicks. They can also leverage buffer capacity that is ready to use in minutes, not months.

HPE ProLiant DL560 Gen10 Server is a high-density, 4P server with high performance, scalability and reliability. It supports up to 6 TB of memory with 48 DIMM slots and up to 12 TB of memory with 96 DIMM slots when using HPE Persistent Memory2. This means that it can support a database of 5 TB to run in memory.

This is because HPE GreenLake Compute Ops Management is a cloud-based service that provides a unified and automated way to monitor, manage and update servers remotely through a web console. It can help customers free up resources and automate management tasks such as firmware updates, compliance checks, server health monitoring and troubleshooting. It can also support servers across different locations and platforms, whether on premises, at the edge or in the cloud.

Integrated Management Log (IML) is a feature that records hardware events such as fan and power supply failures on HPE ProLiant servers. The IML can be viewed through various methods, such as the iLO web interface, the iLO RESTful API, or the Smart Storage Administrator (SSA). The IML provides historical information about the server’s hardware health and helps with troubleshooting and analysis.
