Which of the following statements is true regarding your customer’s support status when moving from an HPE StoreOnce backup appliance to HPE GreenLake Backup and Recovery?
- A . The HPE StoreOnce appliance can be only used as a on-Premises Protection Store copy target
- B . The HPE StoreOnce appliance can be shared with other backup applications
- C . The HPE StoreOnce appliance is currently not supported
- D . The HPE StoreOnce appliance connectivity is currently FC-only
A
Explanation:
When moving from an HPE StoreOnce backup appliance to HPE GreenLake Backup and Recovery, the HPE StoreOnce appliance can still be utilized as an on-premises Protection Store copy target. This means that the existing StoreOnce hardware can be integrated into the new GreenLake Backup and Recovery environment, allowing for on-premises data protection and efficient backup processes while leveraging the cloud capabilities of GreenLake for additional flexibility and scalability.

What advantage is offered when using LTFS?
- A . file management capabilities will be provided with tape cartridges
- B . WORM functionality for file, block and object storage access on tape
- C . file encryption with public and private key management
- D . file and block data management within an HPE HSM solution
A
Explanation:
The Linear Tape File System (LTFS) provides an easy and intuitive way to manage files stored on tape cartridges. LTFS allows users to organize, browse, and access files directly from the tape as if they were on a disk. This file system presents tape as a drive letter on Windows or as a mount point on Linux, making it simpler to use tape for data archiving and management. This capability makes LTFS an attractive option for organizations that require long-term data storage with easy access.

- D . Ninja Stars
Which statement is true regarding the connection of extra drive enclosures to the HPE Alletra 9000 storage array with an HPE Alletra 9000 NVMe-oF 100 GbE 2-port host bus adapter?
- A . It can only be used if the two 100 GbE built-in ports are already populated
- B . It offers a lower speed than built-in expansion ports and should be used with slower disks
- C . It must be installed on every node in the second H8A slot (slot 4)
- D . Alternatively, it can be used for host connectivity
D
Explanation:
The HPE Alletra 9000 NVMe-oF 100 GbE 2-port host bus adapter (HBA) is a versatile component that can be used for multiple purposes. While it is primarily designed for high-speed host connectivity, it can also be used for connecting extra drive enclosures to the HPE Alletra 9000 storage array. This flexibility allows it to serve dual roles depending on the specific requirements of the deployment, either expanding storage capacity by connecting additional enclosures or providing high-speed connectivity to hosts.

Which statement is correct when comparing functionalities of the AF and HF series in the Nimble storage portfolio? (Choose Two)
- A . Zero Copy Clones are a unique feature of All-Flash arrays within the Nimble Portfolio.
- B . >99.9999% availability is measured and guaranteed for AF and HF series arrays.
- C . HF series has a dedicated read cache and AF series does not have a dedicated reach cache.
- D . HF series supports storage snapshots and replication using Veeam Backup & Replication, HF and AF series support storage snapshots only
B,C
Explanation:
B . >99.9999% availability: HPE Nimble Storage AF (All-Flash) and HF (Hybrid Flash) series both offer a guaranteed uptime of greater than 99.9999%. This high availability is achieved through advanced architecture, data protection features, and proactive support mechanisms, making both series reliable choices for enterprises that require near-continuous access to data.
C . HF series has a dedicated read cache: The HF series in the Nimble portfolio includes a dedicated read cache, which is designed to accelerate read operations by caching frequently accessed data. The AF series, being an all-flash array, inherently delivers high-speed read operations due to its flash architecture and does not require a separate read cache.
These features highlight the robustness and high performance of both the AF and HF series, with the HF series being optimized for environments that benefit from a hybrid approach.

Which statement is correct when discussing the RAID layout of an HPE Nimble HF-series storage system?
- A . RAID 6 triple parity is set up -21 data drives are used for RAID stripes.
- B . RAID 6 triple parity is set up -18 data drives are used for RAID stripes.
- C . RAID 6 or RAID 1 can be set up -24 data drives are used for RAID stripes.
- D . RAID 6 or RAID 1 can be set up -18 data drives are used for RAID stripes.
D
Explanation:
In the HPE Nimble HF-series storage system, RAID 6 with triple parity is the default RAID setup, which uses 18 data drives for RAID stripes. RAID 6 provides high redundancy by allowing for the failure of up to two drives without data loss, making it an ideal configuration for environments that require a balance between performance, capacity, and fault tolerance.

HPE Storage Best Practices
You are asked to review an installation plan for a new Primera storage array. The array will go into an existing environment that has been in production for over 4 years.
It includes:
C7000s with Gen8 blades
8Gb Brocade switches
a 3PAR 7400
an MSA that is used as a backup target
What should you use to find appropriate installation and planning guides?
- A . SAF Analyze and Collector
- B . Information Library
- C . NinjaSTARS
- D . SPOCK
D
Explanation:
When reviewing an installation plan for a new Primera storage array in an existing environment, the best resource to find appropriate installation and planning guides is SPOCK (Option D). SPOCK (Single Point of Connectivity Knowledge) provides detailed interoperability and configuration guides, ensuring that all components in the existing infrastructure (such as C7000s, Brocade switches, and 3PAR 7400) are compatible with the new Primera array.
SPOCK is an essential tool for ensuring that the installation process is seamless and that the environment will support the new storage solution without any compatibility issues.

HPE Installation and Planning Guides
During Technology workshop, the customer asks about different between converged and fibre channel switches.
What would be a benefits of using flex fabric switches in a fibre channel storage environment?
- A . Support for combining multiple physical switches in to one virtual switch with a single IP address
- B . Support for six Ethernet and two fibre channel, or six Ethernet and two ISCSI or eight Ethernet adapters per server.
- C . Zones can be configured for QoS with high, medium, and low priorities within a fabric on a zone by zone basic
- D . In-flight compression and encryption provides efficient link utilization and security
D
Explanation:
FlexFabric switches in a Fibre Channel storage environment offer the benefit of in-flight compression and encryption, which provides efficient link utilization and enhanced security. These features allow data to be compressed and encrypted as it travels across the network, optimizing bandwidth usage and ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. This is particularly advantageous in environments where secure, high-performance data transmission is critical. HPE Storage
