Plan and Design HPE Compute Solutions

Question

A junior architect designed a solution based on HPE Synergy that must meet the following requirements:

  • Support at least 30 HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 Plus compute modules
  • Interconnect modules must provide MAC and WWN virtualization
  • All HPE Synergy frames must formulate a single management entity
  • The management appliance should not be a single point of failure
  • Connectivity to FC array should be available to all compute nodes

The proposal consists of:

  • 3 HPE Synergy 12000 frames
  • 6 HPE Composer 2 modules
  • 2 HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module
  • 4 HPE Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Module

Which statements about this proposed design are true? (Select two)

Options

  • AFC upgrade licenses for HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module must be added.
  • BHPE Synergy 50Gb ILMs must be replaced with HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 modules.
  • CRemove 4 HPE Composer 2 modules from the design, as they are not required.
  • DThe selected interconnect modules do not provide the requested WWN virtualization.
  • EThe current setup can support up to 18 HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 Plus compute modules.

Explanation

Option C is correct because an HPE Synergy domain requires exactly 2 Composer 2 modules (one active, one standby) to form a single management entity - regardless of how many frames are in the domain. With 6 proposed (2 per frame), 4 are redundant and must be removed, leaving the standard active/standby pair.

Option D is correct because the HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module is an Ethernet-focused interconnect that provides MAC address virtualization only - it does not support Fibre Channel or WWN (World Wide Name) virtualization. Since the design requires FC array connectivity with WWN virtualization for all compute nodes, dedicated FC modules (e.g., HPE Virtual Connect SE 32Gb FC Module) must be added.

A is wrong because the VC SE 100Gb F32 cannot be license-upgraded to support FC/WWN - it is Ethernet-only hardware; no license changes that. B is wrong because Interconnect Link Modules (ILMs) serve a different architectural role (extending fabric between satellite frames) and replacing them with VC modules would break the multi-frame topology, not fix FC. E is wrong because 3 frames × 12 half-height bays = 36 possible 480 Gen10 Plus modules, well above 18.

Memory tip: Think "2 Composers per domain, not per frame" - and remember that the VC SE 100Gb F32 means Fabric ports for Ethernet, not Fibre Channel; WWN virtualization always requires a dedicated FC module.
