HPE1-H05 Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    Advanced

    Help customers assess current environment to make new or expansion recommendations. · Assess current environment and root cause

    A storage architect is investigating intermittent high latency on an HPE Alletra 9000 array that supports a critical OLTP database. Using HPE InfoSight, the architect observes that while write latency remains consistently under 1ms, read latency occasionally spikes to 15ms during batch reporting jobs. What is the most likely root cause of this behavior?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    In storage arrays like the HPE Alletra 9000, writes are immediately acknowledged once they hit the non-volatile cache (resulting in low write latency). However, large batch reporting jobs typically generate massive sequential reads. If these reads are not already cached, they result in cache misses, forcing the array to fetch data directly from the backend NVMe drives. This sudden influx of backend I/O causes read latency spikes.

  2. Question 2

    Intermediate

    Help customers assess current environment to make new or expansion recommendations. · Assess current environment and root cause

    While assessing an aging ProLiant Gen10 rackmount environment for a potential migration to an HPE Synergy platform, the customer states their primary goal is to minimize top-of-rack cabling while fully supporting 100GbE to the aggregation switches. Which Synergy fabric module should be recommended to meet this specific requirement?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    The HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module provides 100GbE uplinks to the aggregation switches while heavily consolidating the internal cabling footprint of the Synergy frame. The F8 module only supports up to 40Gb uplinks, and the Interconnect Link Modules are used to link frames together, not to provide primary uplinks to the core network.

  3. Question 3

    BeginnerMultiple answers

    Help customers assess current environment to make new or expansion recommendations. · Assess current environment and root cause

    A storage consultant is preparing to size a new HPE Alletra environment to replace an aging third-party storage array. The customer's environment is heavily virtualized with VMware vSphere. Which TWO tools can the consultant use to accurately capture the current performance metrics and capacity utilization of the existing environment? (Select TWO)

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answers: B, D

    HPE CloudPhysics and the SAF (Storage Assessment Foundry) Collect tool are the primary utilities used to gather deep analytics, performance metrics, and capacity data from existing VMware environments. This data is then imported into sizing tools like NinjaSTARS. OneView is for infrastructure management, not agnostic assessment, and InfoSight requires HPE hardware to already be present.

  4. Question 4

    Intermediate

    Help customers assess current environment to make new or expansion recommendations. · Assess current environment and root cause

    True or False: To provide predictive analytics and proactive support, HPE InfoSight needs telemetry from the storage array, and the array must have a direct internet connection for this; an array that can reach the internet only through an HTTP proxy server cannot send data to InfoSight.

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    False. InfoSight does depend on telemetry that the array sends to HPE over HTTPS, but the connection does not have to be direct. On HPE Alletra 5000, 6000 and Nimble arrays, Administration > Network > Proxy lets the array use an HTTP proxy server (default port 8888) for features that need a secure internet connection. The array's firewall egress table lists the HTTP proxy server as a destination for this traffic. Data Ops Manager also lets you enable a proxy server for each system on its Networking tab.

  5. Question 5

    Intermediate

    Help the customer locate and identify necessary environment information. · Translate and execute requirements

    A customer runs AI workloads on HPE ProLiant DL385 Gen11 servers populated with multiple NVIDIA GPUs. The servers are connected directly to HPE GreenLake. Before an expansion, the customer needs historical energy consumption, estimated carbon emissions, and estimated energy cost for these servers over the last 90 days. Which HPE tool is best suited to provide this historical data?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Compute Ops Management collects the average hourly power consumption of each connected server. Its Sustainability insights show historical energy consumption, estimated carbon emissions and estimated energy cost. The default view covers the last 90 days plus a 30-day projection, for servers connected directly, through a secure gateway or through OneView. The iLO 6 power meter only graphs one server's last 20 minutes, 24 hours or week. OneView Global Dashboard is a roll-up of OneView appliances, not a 90-day energy report. Data Ops Manager manages storage. HPE InfoSight for Servers, which once offered this kind of history, has been discontinued.

  6. Question 6

    Advanced

    Help the customer locate and identify necessary environment information. · Translate and execute requirements

    A financial institution requires a new storage architecture for their core banking SQL databases. During requirements gathering, the customer stipulates the following constraints:

    • Absolute 100% data availability guarantee.
    • Active-Active controller architecture with symmetric access.
    • End-to-end NVMe performance.
    • Synchronous replication to a secondary site 5km away.

    As the architect translating these requirements into a Bill of Materials (BOM), which HPE storage platform must you configure to meet all these criteria?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    The HPE Alletra 9000 is the only platform listed that is built on a multi-node, all-active architecture (symmetric active-active access) and comes with a standard 100% data availability guarantee, making it ideal for mission-critical Tier-0 SQL workloads. The Alletra 6000 and 5000 are based on Nimble architecture (active-standby or active-passive depending on context) and carry a 99.9999% availability guarantee.
