A customer has 10 HPE BladeSystem enclosures managed by HPE OneView. They want to add three HPE Synergy frames. What is a proper procedure to manage a new HPE Synergy installation?

Question

Options

• AUse HPE Composer for HPE Synergy frames management
• BDeploy HPE Global Dashboard for HPE Synergy management
• CAdd all frames to the existing HPE OneView appliance
• DDeploy a dedicated HPE OneView appliance for HPE Synergy frames

• A

• B

• C
  3% (1)
• D
  8% (3)

Explanation

HPE Global Dashboard is the correct tool here because it provides a unified management view across mixed HPE environments - specifically, it can aggregate both HPE OneView appliances (managing the existing BladeSystem enclosures) and HPE Synergy Composer appliances (managing the new Synergy frames) into a single pane of glass. This is exactly the scenario described: heterogeneous infrastructure that spans two different management platforms.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (HPE Composer): Composer does manage Synergy frames, but it only covers Synergy - it cannot unify management with the existing OneView-managed BladeSystem enclosures, leaving you with two siloed management tools.
• C (Add to existing OneView): Standard HPE OneView appliances do not support HPE Synergy frames - Synergy requires its own Composer; you simply cannot add Synergy to a BladeSystem-targeted OneView instance.
• D (Dedicated OneView for Synergy): Same problem as C - Synergy is managed by Composer, not a standard OneView appliance, so deploying another OneView would not work.

Memory tip: Think of it as layers - Composer manages Synergy, OneView manages BladeSystem, and Global Dashboard sits on top of both to unify them. Whenever you see "mixed HPE environment" in an exam question, think Global Dashboard.
