Your customer wants to add additional five HPE Synergy frames to an existing environment based on ten frames. The customer wants to know how to add new frames to existing infrastructure. How should…

Question

Options

• AAdd required licenses to the HPE Composer, and add them to the existing logical enclosure
• BAdd additional HPE Composer to match a 3:1 frame-to 瑿omposer ratio
• CDiscover new frames in HPE Composer, and add them to the existing logical enclosure
• DAdd new frames to the existing management ring using Frame Link Modules

• B
  5% (1)
• C
  5% (1)
• D
  90% (18)

Explanation

Option D is correct because HPE Synergy frames are physically interconnected via Frame Link Modules (FLMs), which form the management ring - the backbone through which the HPE Composer discovers and communicates with all frames. To expand the environment, you cable the new frames into this ring using FLMs, after which the Composer automatically discovers them and they can be incorporated into the infrastructure.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because adding licenses does not trigger frame discovery or physical integration - licenses are a separate concern unrelated to the expansion procedure itself.
• B is wrong because HPE Synergy Composers are not scaled at a 3:1 ratio; a single redundant Composer pair can manage up to 21 frames, so adding five more frames to a ten-frame environment requires no additional Composers.
• C reverses the order of operations - you cannot discover frames in Composer and then add them to a logical enclosure without first physically connecting them to the management ring via FLMs; discovery is a result of the FLM connection, not the starting action.

Memory tip: The word "Link" in Frame Link Module is your hint - FLMs are literally what link frames together into the management ring. No link = no ring = no discovery. Always think physical connection first (FLM ring), then logical configuration.
