Question
You are a presales consultant for a medium-sized pharmaceutical company. The environment consists of an HP BladeSystem c3000 enclosure with a vSphere 5.1 infrastructure cluster and iSCSI as the main topology. The new SLA requirements state that the infrastructure must be fully redundant. The customer advises you that firmware updates should be implemented online without experiencing any downtime. When designing the environment, which components should you recommend to meet the customer requirements? (Select two.)

Why each option
To achieve full redundancy and online firmware updates without downtime in an HP BladeSystem c3000 with iSCSI, redundant Virtual Connect Flex-10 modules and HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager are the required components.
Additional HBA mezzanine cards add connectivity options but do not address the online firmware update requirement or provide the structured, managed redundancy delivered by Virtual Connect modules.
HP Insight Control and SUM licenses support general server management and OS-level patching but are not the specific tools required for non-disruptive Virtual Connect firmware updates in a blade environment.
Redundant Onboard Administrator modules provide enclosure management path redundancy but do not address network and iSCSI storage path redundancy or online Virtual Connect firmware update capabilities.
HP Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCEM) provides centralized management of Virtual Connect domains and enables rolling, non-disruptive firmware updates across blade interconnects without taking the environment offline, directly satisfying the no-downtime firmware update requirement.
Redundant Virtual Connect Flex-10 modules provide both network and iSCSI storage path redundancy within the c3000 enclosure, eliminating single points of failure in connectivity and fulfilling the fully redundant infrastructure SLA requirement.
