A financial services company is deploying a new cluster of HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers for a high-frequency trading application. A key security requirement is to prevent any unauthorized firmware from ever being loaded, even at boot time. Which foundational HPE security feature, embedded directly into the silicon, ensures the server will not boot with compromised firmware?
During a server deployment using HPE OneView, a junior administrator needs to configure network connectivity for a new server profile. They must ensure the server has one connection to the production network and a separate, redundant connection to a storage network. Which HPE OneView construct should they use to define these specific network connections?
An administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue on an HPE ProLiant server. They suspect a recent configuration change is the cause. They need a tool that provides a consolidated, time-synchronized log of all hardware and agent software changes, as well as system events. Which HPE tool is specifically designed for this purpose?
A consultant is designing a solution for a customer who requires the ability to manage a large fleet of HPE ProLiant servers without installing any OS-level agents. They want to monitor hardware health, receive alerts, and perform remote management tasks. Which HPE management paradigm and associated toolset meets this requirement?
A system architect is designing a highly secure environment for a government agency. They need to ensure that the HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers comply with the highest US federal government security standards. Which TWO features are enabled by installing an HPE iLO Advanced Premium Security Edition license? (Select TWO)
True or False: When creating a Server Profile in HPE OneView for a stateless server, the server's MAC addresses and WWNs are permanently burned into the hardware.
A customer is decommissioning several HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers that were used to process sensitive financial data. They must ensure that all data on the servers' internal NAND flash and local storage is forensically unrecoverable. Which HPE utility or feature should be used to perform this task? ```mermaid flowchart TD Start[Decommission Server] --> NeedDataSanitization{Data Sanitization Needed?} NeedDataSanitization -->|Yes| SelectMethod{Select Method} SelectMethod -->|NAND & User Data| SecureErase[HPE Secure Erase] SelectMethod -->|Drives Only| PhysicalDestroy[Physical Destruction] SecureErase --> Verify[Verification Step] Verify --> End[Process Complete] NeedDataSanitization -->|No| End ```
**Case Study** A rapidly growing e-commerce company is experiencing performance bottlenecks and management challenges with its current infrastructure, which consists of individually managed rack-mount servers from various vendors. The IT team is small and spends most of its time on manual provisioning, firmware updates, and troubleshooting. The company needs to deploy a new platform for its containerized microservices application that can scale compute resources rapidly and independently of storage. **Business Requirements:** - Reduce server provisioning time from days to minutes. - Automate firmware and driver updates across the entire infrastructure. - Provide a single management interface for compute, storage, and networking. - Support both container workloads (current need) and future virtualized workloads. - Must be able to add compute resources without needing to purchase additional storage. Which HPE solution is the most appropriate choice to meet all of the company's requirements?
When using the Smart Storage Administrator (SSA) to configure a new logical drive on an HPE Smart Array controller, which RAID level provides mirroring for fault tolerance but does not include parity?
An administrator is remotely troubleshooting an unresponsive HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server. The server is powered on, but the OS is not responding, and standard remote desktop tools are failing. The administrator needs to force a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) to generate a memory dump file for analysis by the OS vendor. Which tool allows the administrator to perform this action remotely?
