HPE SPOCK (Storage Product Compatibility) is a tool that provides the latest compatibility information for HPE storage products across the entire HPE portfolio. You can use HPE SPOCK to determine whether the existing Fibre Channel switches are compatible with the new HPE Alletra 9000 Fibre Channel array by selecting the product family, model, and firmware version of the switches and the array. HPE SPOCK will display the compatibility status, any notes or limitations, and the recommended configuration settings for the switches and the array. HPE SPOCK can help you ensure a smooth and successful deployment of the HPE Alletra 9000 Fibre Channel array with the existing Fibre Channel switches.Reference:HPE SPOCK,HPE Alletra 9000 Data sheet,HPE Alletra 9000 configuration overview,Marvell QLogic Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters

Answer : B

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.Reference:HPE GreenLake Cloud Services,HPE Financial Services,HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise

Answer : B, C

A proof of concept (POC) is a demonstration of the feasibility and value of a proposed solution in a real-world scenario. It helps the customer to evaluate the solution before committing to a full-scale deployment. A POC agreement is a document that defines the scope, objectives, roles, responsibilities, and expectations of both parties involved in the POC.According to the HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions course1, a POC agreement should include the following elements:

Success criteria: This is a set of measurable and achievable outcomes that indicate the POC has met the customer's requirements and expectations. It should be aligned with the customer's business goals and pain points, and reflect the key benefits and differentiators of the solution. For example, the success criteria could be based on performance, scalability, availability, security, cost, or user satisfaction metrics.

Estimated timeline: This is a realistic and agreed-upon schedule for the POC, including the start and end dates, milestones, deliverables, and feedback sessions. It should account for the time needed for planning, preparation, installation, configuration, testing, validation, and evaluation of the solution. It should also specify the duration and terms of the POC, such as the number of users, devices, or data involved, and the ownership and disposition of the equipment and software after the POC.

The other options are not essential for a POC agreement. A production bill of materials is a list of the components and quantities needed for the final deployment of the solution, which is not relevant for a POC. A production site survey is an assessment of the physical and environmental conditions of the customer's site, which may not be necessary for a POC, especially if it is conducted remotely or in a lab. A 24/7 support is a service level agreement that guarantees the availability and responsiveness of the technical support team, which may not be feasible or required for a POC.Reference:

How to Run a Successful Proof of Concept

Answer : A

HPE SmartCID is a tool that enables you to document the customer requirements and attach them to the order for HPE Synergy solutions. HPE SmartCID allows you to capture the configuration details, such as the frame layout, the compute modules, the interconnect modules, the storage options, the network settings, and the firmware versions, and generate a configuration file that can be used for factory pre-installation and pre-configuration. HPE SmartCID also validates the configuration for compatibility and compliance with HPE best practices and provides a graphical representation of the solution design. HPE SmartCID can help you reduce the cost and time for installation and configuration and ensure a consistent and error-free deployment across multiple sites.Reference:HPE SmartCID User Guide,HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Setup and Installation Guide,HPE Factory Express Integration Services

Answer : C, E

To add HPE GreenLake for Block Storage to an existing HPE GreenLake account, you need to provide some basic information to the wizard-driven application in HPE GreenLake Central.According to the HPE GreenLake for Block Storage Getting Started Guide1, you need to enter the following information:

Site contact info: This includes the name, email, and phone number of the person who will be the primary contact for the site where the block storage service will be deployed. This is required to ensure smooth communication and coordination between HPE and the customer.

Subscription term: This is the duration of the contract for the block storage service, which can range from 12 to 60 months. This is required to calculate the monthly billing and the minimum committed capacity for the service.

The other options are not required for the wizard. Reserved capacity is the amount of storage capacity that the customer wants to reserve for future use, which can be adjusted later. HPE customer ID is a unique identifier for the customer, which is already associated with the existing HPE GreenLake account. Datacenter address is the physical location of the datacenter where the block storage service will be deployed, which is already known to HPE from the previous HPE GreenLake service.Reference:

Answer : A

The shared responsibility model for HPE GreenLake services defines the roles and responsibilities of HPE and the customer in ensuring the security and compliance of the cloud infrastructure and data. According to this model, HPE is responsible for providing a secure supply chain, firmware management, and threat detection for the HPE GreenLake Private Cloud Enterprise solution, while the customer is responsible for managing the OS vulnerability mitigation, data protection, identity and access management, and application security. Therefore, the aspect of the shared responsibility model that will be retained by the customer is OS vulnerability mitigation.Reference:Sharing responsibility for security with HPE GreenLake,Understanding the HPE GreenLake For VMware Cloud Foundation Model,HPE GreenLake Cloud Practitioner Foundations
