QUESTION 7
Which components can be part of HPEs disaggregated hyperconverged infrastructure (dHCI)?(Choose three.)
A. HPE B-series switches

B. HPE Alletra 6000 array with FC HBAs
C. HPE ProLiant DX
D. HPE Alletra 6000 array with iSCSI HBAs
E. HPE Aruba switches
F. HPE ProLiant DL
Correct Answer: DEF

Explanation
HPEs disaggregated hyperconverged infrastructure (dHCI) is a solution that combines the simplicity
and ease-of-use of HCI with the flexibility and scalability of disaggregated architecture. It consists of
three main components: compute nodes, storage nodes, and networking. The compute nodes are
HPE ProLiant servers that run the applications and virtual machines. The storage nodes are HPE
Alletra 6000 arrays that provide storage capacity and data services. The networking is the fabric that
connects the compute and storage nodes, providing high-speed data transfer and management.
The HPE Alletra 6000 arrays can be connected to the compute nodes using either iSCSI or FC
protocols, depending on the customers preference and existing infrastructure. Therefore, both D and
B are valid options for the storage nodes. However, the question asks for three components, so only
one of them can be chosen. Since the question does not specify the protocol, we can assume that
either one is acceptable. For simplicity, we choose D as the answer.
The HPE ProLiant servers can be either rack-mounted or blade servers, depending on the customers
needs and space constraints. Therefore, both F and C are valid options for the compute nodes.
However, the question asks for three components, so only one of them can be chosen. Since the
question does not specify the form factor, we can assume that either one is acceptable. For
simplicity, we choose F as the answer.
The networking component can be any of the approved options for storage switches, including HPE
Aruba, Cisco, Mellanox, and others. Therefore, E is a valid option for the networking component. A is
not a valid option, because HPE B-series switches are not compatible with HPE Alletra 6000 arrays.
Therefore, the correct answer is D, E, F. Reference:

QUESTION 8
Compared to OCA, which additional datacenter characteristic is required to configure a solution in SSET?
A. KW per rack
B. Country
C. Input voltage
D. Input phase
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
OCA (One Config Advanced) and SSET (Solution Sizer and Estimator Tool) are both tools that help
design and configure HPE solutions. OCA is a web-based tool that allows users to create and validate
configurations for HPE servers, storage, and networking products. SSET is a tool that helps users
estimate the power, cooling, and space requirements for HPE solutions. SSET also provides
recommendations for rack and power distribution units (PDUs). Compared to OCA, SSET requires an
additional datacenter characteristic to configure a solution: the input voltage. This is because the
input voltage affects the power consumption and efficiency of the solution. The input voltage can be
either single-phase or three-phase, and it can vary depending on the country and region. SSET allows
users to select the input voltage from a list of predefined values or enter a custom value. OCA does
not require the input voltage as an input parameter, as it only focuses on the product configuration
and compatibility. Edge to Cloud Solutions: Engineered Experiences to Unlock Your Full
Potential, Chapter 5: Next Generation Compute, Storage, and Integrated Data Solutions, page 97.

QUESTION 16
You are proposing a storage expansion solution to a customer Fibre Channel Array, to avoid capacity and
performance issues.
Which additional points should you consider in your proposed solution? (Choose two.)
A. VLAN and SpanningTree configuration.

B. The UPS model that is currently in use.
C. Other workloads that are planned to be added to this array
D. Current Ethernet network topology.
E. Performance bottlenecks in the current solution.
Correct Answer: CE
Explanation
When proposing a storage expansion solution to a customer Fibre Channel array, it is important to
consider the current and future workloads that will use the array, as well as the performance
bottlenecks that may affect the arrays efficiency and availability. These two factors will help
determine the optimal size, type, and configuration of the storage expansion, as well as the potential
impact on the existing Fibre Channel network and the customers business objectives.
C) Other workloads that are planned to be added to this array. This point is relevant because adding
new workloads to the array will increase the demand for storage capacity and performance, which
may require additional disks, controllers, or ports. The type and characteristics of the new workloads,
such as their I/O patterns, data protection requirements, and service level agreements, will also
influence the design of the storage expansion solution. For example, if the new workloads are I/O
intensive or require high availability, the storage expansion solution may need to include solid-state
drives (SSDs), RAID levels, or replication features that can meet those needs.
E) Performance bottlenecks in the current solution. This point is relevant because identifying and
resolving the performance bottlenecks in the current solution will help improve the efficiency and
utilization of the existing storage resources, as well as prevent potential issues in the expanded
solution. Performance bottlenecks can occur at different layers of the storage solution, such as the
disk, controller, switch, or host. Some common causes of performance bottlenecks are disk
contention, controller overload, port congestion, or host configuration. To diagnose and mitigate the
performance bottlenecks, the storage administrator can use tools such as HPE InfoSight, HPE 3PAR
System Reporter, or HPE Command View EVA to monitor and analyze the performance metrics, such
as IOPS, throughput, latency, queue depth, or utilization, of the storage components.
A) VLAN and Spanning Tree configuration. This point is not relevant because VLAN and Spanning Tree
are Ethernet network concepts that do not apply to Fibre Channel networks. Fibre Channel networks
use different protocols and mechanisms to segment and manage the network traffic, such as zones,
virtual SANs (VSANs), or fabric services.
B) The UPS model that is currently in use. This point is not relevant because the UPS model that is
currently in use does not directly affect the storage expansion solution. The UPS model is a power
backup device that provides uninterrupted power supply to the storage devices in case of a power
outage. The UPS model may have some implications on the power consumption and availability of
the storage devices, but it is not a critical factor in the design of the storage expansion solution.
D) Current Ethernet network topology. This point is not relevant because the current Ethernet
network topology does not directly affect the storage expansion solution. The Ethernet network
topology is the physical and logical layout of the Ethernet network devices, such as switches, routers,
or firewalls, that connect the hosts to the storage devices. The Ethernet network topology may have
some implications on the network performance and availability of the storage devices, but it is not a
critical factor in the design of the storage expansion solution. Reference:

QUESTION 23
Your customer required a managed private cloud solution of which they can retain ownership for tax purposes.
Which delivery model should you recommend?
A. HPE GreenLake for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).

B. HPE Financial Services lease with GreenLake manaqement services.
C. Traditional purchase with GreenLake manaqement services.
D. Custom HPE GreenLake solution based on a reference architecture.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
A managed private cloud solution is one where the customer has a dedicated cloud environment
that is managed by a third-party provider. The customer can benefit from the scalability, flexibility,
and security of the cloud, without having to deal with the infrastructure management and
maintenance. However, the customer may also have specific requirements for ownership and tax
purposes, such as retaining the title of the assets or depreciating them over time. In this case, a
traditional purchase or a custom HPE GreenLake solution may not be suitable, as they would either
require the customer to pay upfront for the infrastructure or transfer the ownership to HPE. HPE
GreenLake for VDI is also not a good option, as it is a specific solution for virtual desktops, not a
general-purpose cloud platform.
The best option for the customer is to use HPE Financial Services lease with GreenLake management
services. This option allows the customer to lease the infrastructure from HPE Financial Services,
while HPE GreenLake provides the management and pay-per-use billing for the cloud services. The
customer can retain the ownership of the assets at the end of the lease term, or renew the lease
with updated technology. The customer can also take advantage of the tax benefits of leasing, such
as deducting the lease payments as operating expenses or claiming depreciation allowances. This
option provides the customer with a managed private cloud solution that meets their ownership and
tax needs, while also offering the advantages of HPE GreenLake, such as cost savings, agility, and
innovation. HPE GreenLake Cloud Services, HPE Financial Services, HPE GreenLake for

Correct Answer: BE
Explanation
A physical site survey is a detailed inspection and assessment of a plot of land or a facility where
work is proposed, to gather information for a design or an estimate to complete the initial tasks
required for an outdoor or indoor activity12. It can determine a precise location, access, best
orientation for the site and the location of obstacles3. A physical site survey is important for any
architectural or engineering project, as it provides critical information that affects everything from
project planning to execution2.
One of the areas where a physical site survey is required is the datacenter, where HPE Edge-to-Cloud
Solutions can be deployed to provide a hybrid cloud operating model across all workloads and
data4. A datacenter is a facility that houses computing and networking equipment, as well as power,
cooling, security, and fire suppression systems5. A physical site survey of a datacenter should gather
information such as:
Datacenter dimensions: The size and shape of the datacenter, including the floor area, ceiling height,
and available space for racks, cabinets, and equipment. This information is essential for determining
the optimal layout and design of the datacenter, as well as the capacity and scalability of the
infrastructure5.
Fire suppression capabilities: The type and availability of fire suppression systems in the datacenter,
such as sprinklers, gas, or foam. This information is important for ensuring the safety and reliability
of the datacenter, as well as complying with the fire codes and regulations5.
Other information that may be gathered during a physical site survey of a datacenter include:
Power and cooling requirements: The amount and quality of power and cooling available in the
datacenter, as well as the backup and redundancy options. This information is crucial for ensuring the
performance and availability of the datacenter, as well as minimizing the energy consumption and
costs5.
Network connectivity and security: The type and speed of network connections and services
available in the datacenter, as well as the security measures and policies in place. This information is
vital for ensuring the connectivity and security of the datacenter, as well as supporting the edge-tocloud
solutions and services5.
The other options, such as existing VLANs, current patch levels, and existing disk capacity, are not
information that should be gathered during a physical site survey, as they are more relevant for a
logical or technical site survey. A logical or technical site survey is a different type of site survey that
focuses on the existing or planned configuration and functionality of the IT systems and devices in a
site, such as servers, storage, switches, routers, firewalls, and software. A logical or technical site
survey is usually performed after a physical site survey, and may require additional tools and
methods, such as network analyzers, ping tests, traceroute, and SNMP.

QUESTION 41
Which values does the TCO Calculator provide? (Choose two.)
A. Return on investment
B. Cost to company (CTC)
C. Capital expenditure
D. Net present value
E. Operational expenditure
Correct Answer: AD
Explanation
The TCO Calculator is a tool that helps you compare the total cost of ownership (TCO) of different IT
infrastructure solutions, such as on-premises, cloud, or hybrid. The TCO Calculator provides two
values that can help you evaluate the financial benefits of each solution: return on investment (ROI)
and net present value (NPV).
Return on investment (ROI) is a measure of the profitability of an investment, calculated as the ratio
of the net income generated by the investment to the initial cost of the investment. A higher ROI
indicates a more profitable investment. The TCO Calculator estimates the ROI of each solution over a
specified period of time, based on the expected savings, costs, and revenues.
Net present value (NPV) is a measure of the present value of the future cash flows of an investment,
discounted by a certain interest rate. A positive NPV indicates that the investment is worth more
than its initial cost. The TCO Calculator estimates the NPV of each solution over a specified period of
time, based on the expected savings, costs, revenues, and discount rate.
The TCO Calculator can help you compare the ROI and NPV of different IT infrastructure solutions and
choose the one that best suits your business needs and goals. TCO & ROI Calculators for IT

The other options are not benefits of HPE GreenLake for database because:
A) Cost savings with a community cloud operating model that supports sharing resources with other
tenants. HPE GreenLake for database does not use a community cloud operating model, which is a
cloud service that is shared among multiple organizations with common interests or goals. HPE
GreenLake for database uses a private cloud operating model, which is a cloud service that is
dedicated to a single organization and hosted on-premises or in a colocation facility67.
B) Time savings with a fully managed VDI solution hosted in their choice of AWS or Azure. HPE
GreenLake for database does not provide a VDI solution, which is a virtual desktop infrastructure that
delivers desktops and applications to end users from a centralized server. HPE GreenLake for
database provides a database solution, which is a data management system that stores, organizes,
and manipulates data for various applications. HPE GreenLake for database also does not host the
solution in AWS or Azure, which are public cloud providers. HPE GreenLake for database hosts the
solution on-premises or in a colocation facility89.
C) Order prioritization with delivery and provisioning of new capacity in 7 days or fewer. HPE
GreenLake for database does not guarantee delivery and provisioning of new capacity in 7 days or
fewer. HPE GreenLake for database provides a buffer capacity that is reserved for the customer and
can be activated instantly when needed. However, if the customer requires additional capacity
beyond the buffer, the delivery and provisioning time may vary depending on the availability and
complexity of the solution .

QUESTION 49
A customer wants to implement a solution that doesnt limit any future operational expenditures.
Which type of solution should you choose and why?
A. A hybrid solution because moving workloads into the cloud always reduce total cost.
B. A hybrid solution as the expenditure model is simple.
C. A Cloud solution with a pay-per-use model with on-demand scaling of resources.
D. A traditional solution works best because it takes no capital expenditure to deploy.
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
A cloud solution with a pay-per-use model allows the customer to pay only for the resources they
consume, such as compute, storage, network, or software services1.
A cloud solution with a pay-per-use model also enables the customer to scale up or down their
resources on-demand, depending on their workload and performance needs1.
A cloud solution with a pay-per-use model can help the customer reduce their operational
expenditures (OPEX) by eliminating the need for upfront capital investments, maintenance costs, and
overprovisioning of resources1.
A hybrid solution, which combines cloud and on-premises resources, may not always reduce the total
cost of ownership, as it depends on the workload characteristics, the cloud pricing model, and the
integration and management complexity2.
A hybrid solution may also have a more complicated expenditure model, as it involves both OPEX
and CAPEX, and requires careful planning and optimization of the resource allocation and
utilization2.
A traditional solution, which relies on on-premises hardware and software, requires a high capital
expenditure (CAPEX) to deploy, as well as ongoing maintenance, upgrade, and support costs3.
A traditional solution also limits the customers flexibility and agility, as they have to deal with fixed
and finite resources, and longer provisioning and deployment cycles3.

What is the correct method to calculate incremental cash flow?
A. Substract projected decrease in revenue or increase in costs from the initial investment.
B. Divide the increase in revenue by the time needed to offset the IT investment.
C. Multiply the increase in revenue by the time needed to offset the IT investment.
D. Substract projected increase in revenue or decrease in costs from the initial investment.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Incremental cash flow is the difference between the cash flow of a project with the investment and
the cash flow of the same project without the investment. It represents the net change in cash flow
that results from making the investment. The correct method to calculate incremental cash flow is to
substract projected increase in revenue or decrease in costs from the initial investment. This method
captures the additional cash inflows and outflows that are attributable to the investment, and
excludes any cash flows that are unrelated to the investment. Incremental cash flow can help you
evaluate the profitability and feasibility of an IT investment by comparing it to the required rate of
return or the payback period. HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions - Self-Directed Lab, HPE Edgeto-

The other options do not address all three of the customers concerns because:
A) Use the HPE TCO and ROI calculator to develop a compelling business case that highlights the
value proposition as well as essential financial metrics that are important to the customers. This
option may help the customer understand the long-term benefits and savings of the solution, but it
does not address the customers immediate concerns of lead time, IT resources, and initial cost
outlay. The customer may still face delays, complexity, and upfront expenses with the solution5.
B) Use the HPE Assessment Foundry to find ways to lower the amount of storage needed. Use the
results of the reports to use cheaper drives in the storage array. Also HPE Pointnext services for
installation. This option may help the customer optimize the storage capacity and performance of the
solution, as well as simplify the installation process, but it does not address the customers concerns
of lead time and initial cost outlay. The customer may still face long delivery times for some
components of the solution, and may have to pay a high upfront price for the solution and the
services67.
C) Rebuild the solution in OCA, and look for opportunities in the tool to replace long lead time
components with similar components that have shorter lead times. Also with your sales team to
revise the cost of the solution to meet customer needs. This option may help the customer reduce
the lead time and the initial cost outlay of the solution, but it does not address the customers
concern of IT resources. The customer may still have to allocate significant IT resources to deploy and
manage the solution, and may compromise on the quality or performance of the solution by
replacing some components8.

QUESTION 57
You are presenting an HPE GreenLake for private Cloud Enterprise solution to a CFO.
Which financial key performance indicator (KPI) can you show via GreenLake Central?
A. ROI
B. TCO
C. Net present value
D. Metered charges
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise is a cloud service that delivers a fully managed private
cloud experience for bare metal, containers, and virtual machines in your private environment1. It
offers a public cloud-like operating model with pay-per-use pricing, self-service provisioning, and
consumption analytics1.
One of the financial key performance indicators (KPIs) that you can show via GreenLake Central, the
online portal for managing and optimizing your HPE GreenLake services, is metered
charges. Metered charges are the actual costs incurred by your usage of the HPE GreenLake for
Private Cloud Enterprise service, based on the resources you consume and the service level
agreement you choose2. Metered charges are calculated and billed monthly, and you can view them
in real time via GreenLake Central2.
Metered charges are an important financial KPI for a CFO, as they reflect the value and efficiency of
the HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise service. By showing metered charges via GreenLake
Central, you can demonstrate how the service aligns the costs with the outcomes, reduces the
upfront capital expenditure, and optimizes the cash flow of the business3. You can also compare the
metered charges with the budgeted charges, which are the estimated costs based on the initial
capacity and service level agreement, to show the variance and savings achieved by the service2.
The other options, such as ROI, TCO, and net present value, are not financial KPIs that you can show
via GreenLake Central. ROI (return on investment) is a ratio that measures the profitability of an
investment relative to its cost4. TCO (total cost of ownership) is a measure of the direct and indirect
costs associated with acquiring and operating an asset or a service over its lifetime5. Net present
value is a measure of the current value of a future stream of cash flows, discounted by a certain
interest rate6. These are all useful financial metrics for evaluating the HPE GreenLake for Private
Cloud Enterprise service, but they are not directly available or calculated via GreenLake Central. They
require additional data and analysis from other sources, such as financial statements, market
research, or industry benchmarks.

QUESTION 58
What is a correct formula to calculate business value?
A. profit = revenue / expenses

B. profit = revenue + expenses
C. profit = revenue * expenses
D. profit = revenue - expenses
Correct Answer: D
Explanation
Business value is a measure of the benefits that an organization or a project delivers to its
stakeholders, such as customers, employees, shareholders, or society1.
One way to quantify business value is to calculate the profit, which is the difference between the
revenue and the expenses of an organization or a project2.
Revenue is the income that an organization or a project generates from its products, services, or
other sources2.
Expenses are the costs that an organization or a project incurs to operate, produce, or deliver its
products, services, or other outputs2.
Therefore, the formula to calculate profit is: profit = revenue - expenses2.
For example, if an organization has a revenue of $100,000 and an expense of $80,000, its profit is
$20,000.
The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct relationship between
revenue, expenses, and profit:
A) profit = revenue / expenses would imply that the profit is inversely proportional to the expenses,
which is not true. For example, if the revenue is $100,000 and the expense is $80,000, the profit
would be $1,250, which is lower than the actual profit of $20,000.
B) profit = revenue + expenses would imply that the profit is equal to the sum of the revenue and the
expenses, which is not true. For example, if the revenue is $100,000 and the expense is $80,000, the
profit would be $180,000, which is higher than the actual revenue.
C) profit = revenue * expenses would imply that the profit is equal to the product of the revenue and
the expenses, which is not true. For example, if the revenue is $100,000 and the expense is $80,000,
the profit would be $8,000,000, which is unrealistic and unreasonable.

QUESTION 67
DRAG DROP
For each use case, identify whether it is a traditional solution or a hybrid solution.
A.
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
According to the HPE Edge-to-Cloud Adoption Framework, page 5, a traditional solution is a cloud
deployment model where the cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single
organization comprising multiple consumers (e.g., business units). It may be owned, managed, and
operated by the organization, a third party, or some combination of them, and it may exist on or off
premises. A traditional solution offers the organization more control, security, and customization
over their cloud resources, but it also requires more investment, maintenance, and expertise.
A hybrid solution is a cloud deployment model where the cloud infrastructure is a composition of
two or more distinct cloud infrastructures (private, community, or public) that remain unique
entities, but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and
application portability (e.g., cloud bursting for load balancing between clouds). A hybrid solution
offers the consumers more choice, agility, and innovation over their cloud resources, but it also
requires more integration, management, and complexity.
Based on these definitions, the following use cases are hybrid solutions:
An on-premises database, emerging applications, storage as a service with VMs, or container
environments and cloud back up. = Hybrid solution. This use case involves a combination of onpremises
and cloud resources, and requires data and application portability between them.
A small private cloud for productivity and collaboration with public cloud disaster recovery or testing
and development. = Hybrid solution. This use case involves a combination of private and public cloud
resources, and requires data and application portability between them.
The following use cases are traditional solutions:
A small deployment in an office consolidating a small number of applications but limited SLA
requirements. = Traditional solution. This use case involves a single organization using a cloud
infrastructure for exclusive use, and does not require data and application portability to other clouds.
Large Object-Store performance database and online transaction processing (OLTP) without external
connectivity. = Traditional solution. This use case involves a single organization using a cloud
infrastructure for exclusive use, and does not require data and application portability to other clouds
QUESTION 68
Your customer wants to implement an environment for machine learning that requires low latencies and high
transfer rates.
Which technology should you recommend to the customer?
A. SCSI
B. RoCE
C. SMB
D. NFS
Correct Answer: B
Explanation
The technology that should be recommended to the customer for machine learning that requires
low latencies and high transfer rates is RoCE. RoCE stands for RDMA over Converged Ethernet, which
is a protocol that enables Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over Ethernet networks. RDMA is a
technology that allows direct memory access from one computer to another without involving the
operating system or the CPU, thus reducing the overhead and latency of data transfers. RoCE offers
the following benefits for machine learning environments:
It supports high bandwidth and low latency data transfers, which are essential for machine learning
applications that involve large amounts of data and complex computations12.
It improves the efficiency and scalability of the network, as it reduces the CPU utilization and the
network congestion caused by data transfers13.
It leverages the existing Ethernet infrastructure, which is widely deployed and cost-effective, and
does not require any specialized hardware or software14.
It is compatible with HPE solutions, such as HPE Alletra, HPE Synergy, and HPE Apollo, which support
RoCE and provide optimized infrastructure and management services for machine learning
workloads567.
The other options are not suitable for machine learning that requires low latencies and high transfer
rates because:
A) SCSI stands for Small Computer System Interface, which is a set of standards for connecting and
transferring data between devices, such as hard disks, tape drives, scanners, and printers. SCSI is
mainly used for storage devices and does not support RDMA or Ethernet networks8.
C) SMB stands for Server Message Block, which is a network file sharing protocol that allows access
to files, printers, and other resources on a network. SMB is mainly used for file sharing and does not
support RDMA or Ethernet networks9.
D) NFS stands for Network File System, which is a distributed file system protocol that allows access
to files over a network. NFS is mainly used for file sharing and does not support RDMA or Ethernet
networks10.

QUESTION 70
A Customer wants to expand their existing HPE SimpliVity cluster. You propose adding a similar size host with
newer generation Intel CPUs.
What needs to be done to facilitate adding the new hosts to the cluster?
A. enable Enhanced vMotion Compatibility

B. disable Enhanced vMotion Compatibility
C. disable Distributed Resource Scheduler
D. enable Distributed Resource Scheduler
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
HPE SimpliVity is a hyperconverged infrastructure solution that combines compute, storage,
networking, and data services in a single appliance1. HPE SimpliVity clusters are groups of HPE
SimpliVity nodes that share the same federation and data center2. HPE SimpliVity clusters can be
expanded by adding new nodes to increase the capacity and performance of the cluster3.
However, adding new nodes with newer generation Intel CPUs to an existing HPE SimpliVity cluster
may cause compatibility issues for vMotion, the VMware technology that enables live migration of
virtual machines between hosts4. vMotion requires that the source and destination hosts have
compatible CPUs, meaning that they support the same set of CPU features4. If the new nodes have
different or additional CPU features than the existing nodes, vMotion may fail or be restricted4.
To facilitate adding the new hosts to the cluster, one possible solution is to enable Enhanced vMotion
Compatibility (EVC) on the cluster5. EVC is a feature of VMware vSphere that ensures vMotion
compatibility for the hosts in a cluster that are running different CPU generations5. EVC masks the
CPU features that are not common among all hosts in the cluster, so that all hosts present the same
CPU feature set to the virtual machines5. This way, vMotion can be performed without CPU
compatibility errors5.
To enable EVC on the cluster, the following steps are required5:
Power off all virtual machines in the cluster, or migrate them to another cluster.
Edit the cluster settings and select the EVC mode that corresponds to the baseline CPU feature set
for the cluster. The EVC mode must be equivalent to or a subset of the feature set of the host with
the smallest feature set in the cluster.
Add the new hosts to the cluster and verify that they are compatible with the EVC mode.
Power on the virtual machines in the cluster, or migrate them back from another cluster.
By enabling EVC, the cluster can benefit from the improved vMotion compatibility and flexibility of
adding new hosts with newer generation Intel CPUs. However, enabling EVC also has some
limitations and trade-offs, such as5:
EVC does not allow vMotion between hosts with different CPU vendors, such as AMD and Intel.
EVC does not prevent vMotion from failing for other reasons, such as network or storage
incompatibility.
EVC may prevent virtual machines from accessing some CPU features that are available on newer
hosts, but not on older hosts.
EVC may not work with some applications that do not follow the CPU vendor recommended
methods of feature detection.
Therefore, enabling EVC should be carefully planned and tested before adding the new hosts to the
cluster.

Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Scales up and down to meet workload requirements. = Both
Can include infrastructure, colocation, power and cooling in a single bill. = HPE GreenLake
Customer retains ownership of the assets. = Customer
HPE retains ownership of the assets. = HPE GreenLake
Customer can add HPE GreenLake Management Service. = HPE GreenLake
Both: Both customer and HPE GreenLake solutions can scale up and down to meet workload
requirements, depending on the type of solution and the contract terms. For example, a customer
can purchase a scalable solution, such as HPE Synergy or HPE SimpliVity, and add or remove
resources as needed. Alternatively, a customer can use HPE GreenLake, which offers a pay-per-use
model, and adjust the capacity and performance on demand.
HPE GreenLake: HPE GreenLake is a consumption-based model where the customer pays only for the
resources they use, on a monthly basis. HPE owns the assets and provides them as a service to the
customer, along with the necessary support, management, and optimization. HPE GreenLake can
include infrastructure, colocation, power and cooling in a single bill, depending on the customers
needs and preferences. HPE GreenLake also allows the customer to add HPE GreenLake
Management Service, which is a cloud-native platform that provides a unified and consistent
experience for managing and optimizing HPEs edge-to-cloud solutions.
Customer: Customer is a traditional acquisition model where the customer pays upfront for the
hardware, software, and services they need. The customer owns the assets and is responsible for
their maintenance, management, and upgrade. This model gives the customer more control,
security, and customization over their assets, but it also requires more investment, maintenance, and
expertise.
