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

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.

HPE MSA Health Check Tool is a web-based tool that provides a comprehensive health check of an HPE MSA 1060/2060/2062 storage array. The tool analyzes the array configuration, performance, and logs and provides a detailed report with recommendations based on HPE best practices. The tool can also generate a support ticket if any issues are detected.

The HPE MSA Health Check Tool is available for download from the HPE Support Center website1. The tool requires an active warranty or support contract for the array.

• 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.

HPE MSA2062 -> Provides storage for two HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers in a branch office1 HPE SimpliVity -> Enterprise HCI with integrated compute storage and data protection2 HPE StoreEver LTO 9 Ultruim 45000 External Tape Drive -> Secures backup data with an air-gap separation3 HPE StoreOnce 3660 -> Provides a disk-based backup functionality with efficient deduplication

According to HPE, this license enables advanced features such as performance tiering and RAID tier affinity for HPE MSA 2060 storage arrays1. These features can help enhance the performance of SSD drives by automatically moving hot data to faster drives and keeping data on the same RAID group1.

This is because a file and print workload requires a server that can store and share large amounts of data with multiple users and devices. Therefore, the server should have enough storage capacity to meet the current and future data needs of the customer. The form factor of the server also matters because it determines how much space the server occupies and how easy it is to install and maintain. Depending on the customer’s preferences and constraints, they may choose a tower, rack or blade server.

• Scale-out: Add more servers to do the workload
• Scale-up: Add more resources (such as processors and memory) to existing servers
• Scale-out: Add an additional two-socket system to an existing VMware Cluster
• Scale-up: Add two additional processors to a four-socket system currently equipped with only two processors

This is because:

• Scale-out: This is a scaling approach that involves adding more servers or nodes to a system to increase its capacity and performance. It is also known as horizontal scaling. It can help distribute the workload across multiple servers and improve availability and fault tolerance.
• Scale-up: This is a scaling approach that involves adding more resources (such as processors, memory, storage or network) to an existing server or node to increase its capacity and performance. It is also known as vertical scaling. It can help improve the performance of a single server and reduce the complexity of managing multiple servers.

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.

HPE GreenLake is a cloud services platform that delivers on-demand capacity and planning, combining the agility and economics of the public cloud with the security and performance of on-premises IT. Some of the benefits of HPE GreenLake include:

• Pay for resources consumed: HPE GreenLake offers a pay-per-use model that aligns costs with actual usage, reducing overprovisioning and improving cash flow. Customers can also scale up or down as needed and only pay for what they use.
• Capacity ahead of demand: HPE GreenLake provides customers with buffer capacity that is ready to use in minutes, not months, enabling them to respond quickly to changing business needs. Customers can also access a range of cloud services from HPE and partners through a self-service portal.

Containers solutions -> Simplify acquisition and deployment of complex systems1 Data Management and Analytics solutions -> Accelerate time to value from insights2 Hybrid Cloud solutions -> Unify operations and management3 

Transcoding & Visualization solutions -> Provide stability to scale anywhere VDI solutions -> Improve user experience while managing costs

According to Simplilearn, big data storage is a new technology that allows you to store large amounts of data that exceed the capacity of typical database software tools1. Big data storage can handle various types of data, such as structured, unstructured, or semi-structured data, and provide fast and scalable access to it1.

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes supports cloud-native applications that are designed to run on distributed and dynamic environments.

Kubernetes also supports containers with persistent storage by providing various options such as:

• Persistent Volumes: These are abstracted storage resources that can be provisioned by administrators and consumed by users without worrying about the underlying storage implementation.
• Persistent Volume Claims: These are requests for storage by users that can be dynamically or statically bound to Persistent Volumes.
• Storage Classes: These are ways to describe different kinds of storage offered by a cluster, such as SSD or HDD, performance or capacity, etc.
• Volume Snapshots: These are point-in-time copies of Persistent Volumes that can be used for backup or restoration purposes.
• Container Storage Interface: This is a standard interface that allows Kubernetes to communicate with various storage vendors and plugins.

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.

This is because the HPE MSA 2060 Storage solution supports a mixture of 3.5 inch LFF and 2.5 inch SFF expansion enclosures for a maximum of 9 enclosures (10 total including the array). You can start small and scale as needed with any combination of SSDs, Enterprise SAS or MidLine SAS HDDs12.
