Question #182
A customer needs a centralized solution for storing departmental data to be accessed by Windows-
based laptops and other personal devices.
Which solution should you recommend?
- A . Block storage, directly accessed over FC
- B . Block storage, directly accessed over SAS
- C . Object storage, accessed over S3 connector
- D . File-oriented storage, accessed over SMB
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
For a customer needing a centralized storage solution accessible by Windows-based laptops and other personal devices, file-oriented storage accessed over SMB (Option D) is the most appropriate recommendation. SMB (Server Message Block) is a network file sharing protocol that allows files to be shared among devices running on a Windows network.
File-oriented storage solutions, like HPE’s StoreEasy or Nimble with file services, are designed to serve files over the network using SMB, providing easy and secure access to departmental data.

Question #183
A customer purchased a StoreOnce 3620 earlier in the year and has decided to add a 10GBase-Т adapter to it, which the customer sourced elsewhere and installed themselves. They complain that the new adapter is not configurable.
What is the most likely reason for this issue?
- A . The StoreOnce software requires updating
- B . Secure boot must be enabled in the BIOS to securely enable HBAs
- C . The customer failed to install a License to Use (LTU) for it
- D . The StoreOnce needs to connect to InfoSight to validate the adapter authenticity
Correct Answer: C
C
Explanation:
The most likely reason the 10GBase-T adapter installed in the StoreOnce 3620 is not configurable is that the customer failed to install a License to Use (LTU) for it (Option C). HPE StoreOnce systems require an LTU for certain hardware components and features. Without the appropriate license, the system will not recognize or allow configuration of the newly installed hardware.
Ensuring that the LTU is correctly installed would likely resolve the issue and allow the adapter to be
fully operational.

Question #186
Which storage principle would benefits of customer who has several departments in their organization with different storage needs?
- A . Autonomic Management
- B . Federated storage
- C . Scale out storage
- D . Multi-tenancy
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
Multi-tenancy is a storage principle that allows multiple departments or tenants within an organization to share the same storage infrastructure while maintaining logical separation of data.
This approach benefits organizations with different departments that have varying storage needs by providing isolated storage environments within a single physical system. It optimizes storage resource utilization and enhances data security, making it ideal for environments where multiple workloads coexist.

Question #187
What owns the physical drives in an HPE 3PAR StoreServ Express Layout?
- A . a logical disk
- B . a chunklet
- C . a single node
- D . a node pair
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
In an HPE 3PAR StoreServ system, the concept of a "node pair" is crucial to understanding how the system manages and owns physical drives. A node pair, which consists of two controller nodes, is responsible for managing the physical drives. Each node pair works in tandem to provide redundancy and high availability. The node pair owns the physical drives and manages data distribution, I/O operations, and redundancy across the drives within the system.
This architecture ensures that in the event of a failure in one node, the other node in the pair can continue to manage the drives and maintain data access, providing seamless operations and high reliability.

Question #188
What has to taken into account when performing capacity planning for HPE Nimble storage using deduplication?
- A . Deduplication is performed on a per volume basic
- B . Deduplication is performed on a per array basic
- C . Deduplication is performed on a per application category basic
- D . Deduplication is performed on a per pool and block size basic
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
When performing capacity planning for HPE Nimble Storage using deduplication, it’s important to understand that deduplication is applied at the pool level and operates on a block size basis. This means that all volumes within a pool benefit from deduplication, and the efficiency of the process depends on the block size and the type of data stored within the pool. Proper capacity planning requires taking into account the pool configuration, block size, and expected deduplication ratios to accurately predict storage savings and performance. HPE Storage

Question #189
A customer has an HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8200 with eight 3.84 TB SSD’s configured with RAID5 7+1.
They plan to add four more 3.84 TB SSD’s.
What needs to be changed on the configuration once the new SSD’s are installed?
- A . Reconfigure the cpg setsize as RAID6 6+2 and wait for tunesys to complete.
- B . Change the availability level from cage to magazine.
- C . Adjust the cpg growth value to match amount of SSD’s.
- D . Change the cpg setsize to RAID5 5+1 and run tunesys.
Correct Answer: D
D
Explanation:
When adding additional SSDs to the HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8200 with an existing RAID5 7+1 configuration, it is advisable to reconfigure the CPG (Common Provisioning Group) setsize to RAID5 5+1. This reconfiguration will allow the array to better balance the additional drives and optimize the use of available storage. After changing the setsize, running tunesys will ensure that the data is redistributed across the new set of drives, optimizing performance and availability.
