NEW QUESTION # 19
Refer to the exhibit.
The array is experiencing frequent cache misses for read operations.
Which action plan would you suggest to correct the issue?
- A. Increase the flash to disk ratio.
- B. Upgrade the controllers to Alletra 5050 models.
- C. Increase the pinned cache size.
- D. Upgrade the setup with additional expansion shelf.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct answer:
Frequent cache misses occur when the working dataset does not fit effectively in cache. Increasing the flash- to-disk ratio ensures a higher portion of hot data is served from flash media rather than backend disk, reducing cache miss penalties. This is the standard HPE recommendation for read-intensive workloads where cache is insufficient.
Distractors:
A: Adding shelves adds capacity, not cache-to-data efficiency.
B: Upgrading controllers increases CPU, but not necessarily cache efficiency.
C: Pinned cache is intended for metadata or specific workloads, not large-scale read caching.
Key Concept: Flash-to-disk ratio optimization reduces cache misses.
Reference: HPE Alletra Performance Sizing Guide.
NEW QUESTION # 20
The storage solution based on the exhibit is deployed at a customer site.
How can the sequential read performance values be enhanced for this configuration?
- A. By increasing the amount of 10/25 Gb NICs
- B. By adding another expansion shelf
- C. By replacing 10/25 Gb with a 32 Gb FC HBA
- D. By adding SCM to the solution
Answer: A
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer:
The exhibit shows a system delivering ~2.3 GB/s sequential read. For large-block sequential workloads, aggregate host link bandwidth (number × speed of front-end ports) is the primary limiter. Increasing the count of 10/25 Gb iSCSI NICs adds parallel lanes, raising sustained read GB/s to the hosts. This is a recommended first step in HPE sizing before changing protocols.
Analysis of Incorrect Options (Distractors):
A: Adding an expansion shelf increases capacity, not front-end bandwidth.
C: Moving to 32 Gb FC can help, but simply adding more existing 10/25 Gb ports achieves the same goal without a protocol/adapter change and is the straightforward, supported scale-out path.
D: SCM (Storage Class Memory) targets latency/IOPS; it doesn't materially lift sequential GB/s if the link budget is the bottleneck.
Key Concept: Scale front-end connectivity to increase sequential throughput; capacity or media class changes won't fix a link-limited system.
Reference: HPE Alletra 6000/MP Sizing and Host Connectivity Guidelines (throughput scaling via additional host ports).
NEW QUESTION # 21
Your organization is implementing a new high-performance computing (HPC) cluster to support advanced scientific simul-ations. The cluster will consist of several hundred nodes that require rapid access to shared datasets. The storage is Vast/GL4F.
The application is very sensitive to latency and minimizing CPU overhead during data transfers is critical to achieving the desired performance levels.
Which access protocol should the organization implement to enhance NFS performance by reducing storage latency and increasing I/O operations?
- A. NFS over RDMA
- B. iSER
- C. RoCE
- D. NFS
Answer: A
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer:
For HPC and AI/ML workloads, NFS over RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) provides significantly lower latency and reduced CPU overhead compared to standard NFS over TCP. This allows direct memory-to- memory data transfers between storage and compute nodes, bypassing the kernel network stack. In VAST Data (underpinning GreenLake for File Storage), NFS over RDMA is explicitly supported to accelerate shared dataset access in HPC and AI environments.
Distractors:
A: Standard NFS introduces more latency due to kernel TCP/IP stack overhead.
C: RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) is a transport layer technology - useful, but the protocol chosen for the file system must be NFS over RDMA, not just RoCE.
D: iSER (iSCSI Extensions for RDMA) enhances iSCSI block storage, not NFS file workloads.
Key Concept: NFS over RDMA for HPC/AI shared datasets.
Reference: HPE GreenLake for File Storage powered by VAST - HPC Deployment Guide, RDMA and NFS performance white papers.

NEW QUESTION # 23
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.
Question: What does the junior engineer need to add to enable this scenario?
- A. Detach License on StoreOnce-A
- B. Cloud Bank Storage for AWS Glacier
- C. Federated Management
- D. Catalyst License for StoreOnce-B
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 24
A pool of Microsoft SQL servers started to use the Alletra 6000 family array six months ago. The data growth has been higher than expected, and the performance of the databases is facing some latency issues.
Which method would allow both capacity and performance to grow when expanding the array, while keeping the management simple?
- A. By selecting more flash to cache ratio on the expansion shelves.
- B. By adding more arrays and capacity to a single scale-out group.
- C. By including more NIC cards to load balance host traffic.
- D. By initially selecting the timeless storage option for the array.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer:
HPE Alletra 6000 is a scale-out architecture array. Adding more arrays to a single scale-out group increases both performance (IOPS, throughput) and capacity, while maintaining single-pane management via HPE Data Services Cloud Console. This is the most efficient way to address both capacity growth and latency reduction for SQL workloads.
Distractors:
B: Adding NICs may help with throughput but not backend latency or capacity scaling.
C: Flash-to-cache ratios can optimize read caching but don't fundamentally increase system-wide performance.
D: Timeless storage is a procurement/licensing option, not a performance/capacity scaling method.
Key Concept: Alletra 6000 scale-out clustering for balanced growth of capacity and performance.
Reference: HPE Alletra 6000 Technical Architecture Guide.
NEW QUESTION # 25
A junior engineer doing their first assessment makes the comment that all assessments are basically done
"entirely by the assessment tool" and all they must do is start the process in the HPE website.
You caution them that some assessment tools require a manual email by the engineer to HPE to really start the process.
Which type of assessments require an email?
- A. SAF
- B. CloudPhysics
- C. Backup
- D. Non-HPE
Answer: A
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer:
The SAF (Storage Assessment Framework) requires engineers to manually email the collected assessment data to HPE for processing. This is different from fully automated tools like CloudPhysics or Backup assessments that integrate directly with portals. This distinction is important for new engineers performing customer assessments.
Distractors:
A: Backup assessments are usually tool-driven (StoreOnce, RMC, etc.) and automated.
C: Non-HPE assessments are outside scope and not part of HPE standard process.
D: CloudPhysics is fully automated and cloud-based - no manual email required.
Key Concept: SAF = requires manual email submission to HPE.
Reference: HPE Internal Assessment and Sizing Tools Guide.
NEW QUESTION # 26
You are sizing an HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 array (graphic provided).
What happens when the High Availability (HA) option is switched from Drive Level to Enclosure Level?
- A. The Usable Capacity for the array decreases when selecting Enclosure Level HA
- B. The Enclosure Level option is not possible with the current number of disk enclosures
- C. The Enclosure Level option is only available with a switched configuration
- D. The estimated performance decreases due to lower IOPS and GB/s values
Answer: A
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer:
Changing HA from Drive Level to Enclosure Level means the system must reserve additional capacity to tolerate the loss of an entire disk enclosure. This decreases usable capacity, as more parity/spare space is required. Performance remains similar, but capacity overhead increases.
Distractors:
A: Multiple enclosures exist in the config; option is valid.
B: Switched vs direct-connect is unrelated to HA settings.
C: Performance estimates are not directly reduced by HA level change; capacity is.
Key Concept: Enclosure HA = more reserve overhead # less usable capacity.
Reference: HPE Alletra MP Sizing Tool User Guide.
NEW QUESTION # 27
Your customer has expressed an interest in an HPE CloudPhysics assessment of their environment. They would like to know what to expect from this process.
Which of the following statements is true of a CloudPhysics assessment?
- A. Some assessment results are visible in only 2 hours.
- B. Your customer can only access a partial view of the results.
- C. An auto-generated token from HPE is required to view the results.
- D. The assessment period lasts for 5 business days.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer:
HPE CloudPhysics begins collecting performance and capacity data immediately after deployment of the Observer VM/collector. Some initial assessment results (e.g., environment inventory, early utilization stats) can be visible within 2 hours, while deeper trending insights require longer data collection (days/weeks).
Distractors:
B: Tokens are not required for customers to view results; reports are available via the portal.
C: Customers get a full dashboard view of results, not partial.
D: Assessments can run for longer periods (days-weeks), not fixed at 5 days.
Key Concept: CloudPhysics delivers initial insights within hours.
Reference: HPE CloudPhysics Technical Overview.
NEW QUESTION # 28
You are migrating your customer's virtualization platform from an old third-party storage array to a newly installed HPE Alletra MP B10000 array. You are using HPE Zerto Move for the migration.
Which statement is correct when using HPE Zerto Move compared to the typical Failover feature?
- A. The source VMs are deleted automatically after the migration
- B. The migration results in an RPO and RTO of seconds
- C. The Zerto Checkpoint (and RPO) is user-selectable during the move
- D. You can keep the source VMs after the migration
Answer: D
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer:
When using Zerto Move, unlike a typical disaster recovery failover, the migration process allows the source VMs to be retained after cutover. This is useful when testing or validating the migration. In contrast, failover scenarios typically assume the source environment has failed or is decommissioned. Therefore, keeping source VMs is a differentiator for Move.
Distractors:
A: Checkpoints and RPO are controlled by Zerto replication but are not selectable per migration cutover in this way.
B: Source VMs are not deleted automatically; this is intentionally avoided to allow rollback.
D: While Zerto does provide low RPO/RTO (seconds to minutes), this applies mainly to DR failover, not migration cutovers.
Key Concept: Zerto Move vs Zerto Failover semantics.
Reference: HPE Zerto Move Technical Overview, HPE Zerto Replication & Migration Best Practices.
NEW QUESTION # 29
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 Non-optimized
- B. Active Optimized
- C. Standby
- D. Passive
Answer: A
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer:
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.
Distractors:
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).
Reference: HPE Primera/Alletra Peer Persistence Best Practices Guide.
NEW QUESTION # 30 
You are analyzing a customer environment with two Alletra 6000 arrays in a VMware stretched cluster.
Application latency differs slightly depending on whether the VM is on Datastore01 or Datastore02.
Question: Based on this scenario, what would you recommend to equalize latency for the workload?
- A. Issue handover to the volume collection hosting Datastore01.
- B. Issue pinning option for Datastore02 for lower latency.
- C. Relocate the workload on Datastore01 to a volume collection shared with Datastore02.
- D. Relocate the workload on Datastore02 to a volume collection shared with Datastore01.
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 31
Two HPE Alletra 6000 arrays are configured for peer persistence between datacenters A and B, which have a fiber distance of 50km (31mi). The datacenter B hardware will be relocated to a new location that will increase the fiber distance to 150km (93mi).
Which condition is valid once the relocation is finished?
- A. The peer persistence replication links need to be changed to RC transport.
- B. The peer persistence configuration is supported, when latency remains <10ms.
- C. The peer persistence setup needs to be changed to active peer persistence.
- D. The fiber distance exceeds the distance supported for peer persistence setup.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer:
HPE Peer Persistence is supported over distances of up to 150-200 km, as long as the round-trip latency is
#10ms. Therefore, even after relocation to 150km, Peer Persistence remains supported provided latency requirements are met.
Distractors:
B: RC (Remote Copy) transport is already the underlying technology, but no change is required.
C: Peer Persistence is already an active-active design; no change to "active" mode is needed.
D: Distance does not exceed the supported range; only latency matters.
Key Concept: Latency <10ms is the critical requirement for Peer Persistence.
Reference: HPE Alletra 6000/Primera Peer Persistence Best Practices.
NEW QUESTION # 32 
You are sizing an HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 as shown in the graphic below.
What change must be made to the current storage configuration to achieve maximum IOPS performance?
- A. Additional disks need to be added to the system
- B. The controller must be upgraded to a 32-core model
- C. Additional network cards or HBAs need to be added for more throughput
- D. No change needed - the system is already operating at maximum performance
Answer: D
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer:
From the exhibit, the system shows maximum estimated IOPS performance (over 250K IOPS read, 115K IOPS mixed, 62K write). These values align with HPE's published performance specifications for this model with full cores enabled. The network interface count and disk count are balanced relative to controller capability. Therefore, no further upgrades are required to achieve maximum performance.
Distractors:
A: Adding NICs/HBAs may improve throughput but will not exceed controller-bound IOPS.
B: Adding disks increases capacity, not peak IOPS, as performance is primarily controller-driven.
D: The system already matches controller capability; upgrading cores is not an option in Alletra MP B10000 mid-range systems.
Key Concept: Understanding performance sizing based on controller and architecture limits, not just capacity or NICs.
Reference: HPE Alletra MP Performance and Sizing Guide.
NEW QUESTION # 33

- A. Install the SAFcollector agents into the environment and use SAFanalyze to import the agent output.
- B. Use the HPE InfoSight Primary Storage sizing tool to calculate the competitive performance metrics.
- C. Import the HPE CloudPhysics.vhdx collector to the Hyper-V cluster to gather the analytics.
- D. Export the Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager database for NinjaProtected analysis.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Detailed Explanation:
Rationale for Correct Answer:
HPE CloudPhysics provides comprehensive environment assessment and competitive sizing for virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V, etc.). The CloudPhysics collector (available as a .vhdx for Hyper-V) is deployed into the cluster to gather metrics on CPU, memory, storage IOPS/latency, and utilization trends.
These analytics feed into the sizing of HPE storage solutions.
Distractors:
B: InfoSight sizing tools work with HPE systems, not competitive 3rd-party storage like Pure.
C: SAF is a manual assessment requiring email submission and is not the correct modern method for this case.
D: NinjaProtected applies to backup analysis, not production Hyper-V cluster sizing.
Key Concept: CloudPhysics.vhdx collector for Hyper-V sizing with 3rd-party infrastructure.
