A customer has c7000 enclosures with Virtual Connect 20/40 F8 interconnect modules providing Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity. They are starting a proof of concept (PoC) to evaluate using…

Options

• AImage Streamer
• Ba Fibre Channel license
• COneView Advanced
• DiLO Advanced Premium Security

Explanation

Option B is correct because the HPE Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 module for Synergy ships with Ethernet capability enabled by default, but Fibre Channel connectivity requires a separate FC license - meaning without it, the Synergy PoC cannot replicate the combined Ethernet + FC functionality already provided by the c7000's VC 20/40 F8 module. The FC license "unlocks" the FC ports that are physically present but software-gated on the VC SE module.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Image Streamer): This is an OS deployment/stateless computing tool for Synergy - it has nothing to do with enabling FC connectivity.
• C (OneView Advanced): This is a management platform license; it enhances infrastructure management features but does not enable FC ports.
• D (iLO Advanced Premium Security): This relates to server management and security on the iLO interface, completely unrelated to interconnect module connectivity.

Memory tip: Think "FC = Fee" - Fibre Channel on the Synergy VC SE 40Gb F8 needs an extra license (a "fee"), whereas the older c7000 VC modules included FC capability without an additional license purchase.
