Which statement regarding HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management - OneView Edition requirements is true?
Answer : B
HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management - OneView Edition can be used free of charge for the HPE Synergy platform because the licenses are included. This means that customers using HPE Synergy systems receive the benefits of HPE OneView management capabilities without additional licensing costs.
Option A is incorrect because HPE OneView versions do not align with version 8.40; as of the knowledge cutoff in 2023, HPE OneView versions are up to 6.x.
Option C is incorrect because the availability of the service is not restricted to customers with more than three HPE Synergy frames.
Option D is incorrect because HPE ProLiant G6 servers are not supported by HPE OneView; support typically begins from Gen8 servers onward.

You have to move a server profile from a server to the other server. What must be done prior server profile migration?
Answer : B
Before moving a server profile to another server in HPE OneView, the target system must be powered off. This is required to ensure that the profile settings, including firmware, BIOS settings, and connectivity configurations, are applied correctly without any conflicts. Powering off the target server prevents any operational disruptions and ensures a smooth transition of the server profile.
According to HPE OneView guidelines, the target server hardware must be in a powered-off state before assigning or migrating a server profile to it.
