What are features of the HPE Synergy Planning Tool? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AIt creates a REST configuration file based on configuration created
• BIt recommends the best top-of-rack switch
• CIt provides estimated power consumption and weights of the solution
• DIt runs on the Partner Ready Portal
• EIt aids configuration of rack, Frames, compute, storage, fabric and power

• A
  4% (1)
• C
  88% (23)
• D
  8% (2)

Explanation

C and E are correct because the HPE Synergy Planning Tool is a configuration and sizing utility that helps design Synergy solutions - it covers the full stack (racks, Frames, compute, storage, fabric, and power) and outputs power consumption estimates and physical weights, which are critical for data center planning.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A - The tool does not generate REST configuration files; that's the role of the HPE OneView API or Composer.
• B - It does not recommend top-of-rack switches; network switch selection is handled separately, not within this planning tool.
• D - The HPE Synergy Planning Tool runs as a standalone downloadable application, not through the Partner Ready Portal.

Memory tip: Think of the Synergy Planning Tool as a physical design calculator - it answers "what do I need and how heavy/hungry is it?" (weight + power = C) while walking you through every component category (rack to power = E). If an answer sounds like software output or a web portal function, it's likely a distractor.
