Your customer has completed a successful Synergy Proof of Concept (PoC) consisting of a single frame with dual composers and dual Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 modules. The customer wants to: add a…

Question

Options

• AMove the standby composer to the second frame.

• DMove the bottom VC module from the first frame to the second.
• EMove one of the uplinks from the FLM in the first frame to a FLM in the second.

Explanation

In an HPE Synergy single-frame PoC, the management ring loops back within the one frame and both composers sit together. Expanding to two frames with unified management requires redistributing these resources: (A) the standby composer must move to the second frame so each frame has one composer and the active/standby pair spans both frames - that's what enables unified management; (B) the existing management ring (which was looped back for single-frame use) must be broken and the FLM in frame 1 re-cabled to initiate the cross-frame ring; and (E) an FLM uplink from frame 1 must connect to an FLM in frame 2 to physically close that cross-frame management ring.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• C (satellite module in frame 1): Satellite modules are for frames that have no composer; here a composer is being placed in frame 2, so no satellite is needed.
• D (move the bottom VC module): Moving a Virtual Connect module from frame 1 to frame 2 is not a standard step and would disrupt existing fabric; frame 2 gets its own VC modules independently.

Memory tip: Think "Move, Break, Bridge" - Move the standby composer to frame 2, Break the old looped management ring, Bridge the two FLMs with an uplink. These three actions transform a single-frame loop into a two-frame unified domain.
