How can your customer implement HPE OneView so that it can be used to manage an HPE ProLiant server and HPE BladeSystem?

Question

Options

• AAs an application running on the server with Windows system.
• BAs a physical appliance based on HPE ProLiant 360 Gen 10.
• CAs an application running on the server with CentOS Linux system
• DAs a virtual appliance running on the supported hypervisor.

• C

• D

Explanation

Option D is correct because HPE OneView is distributed as a virtual appliance (an OVA/OVF package) and must be deployed on a supported hypervisor - such as VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V - to manage infrastructure including HPE ProLiant servers and BladeSystem enclosures.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A & C are wrong for the same reason: HPE OneView is not installed as a traditional application on a host OS (Windows or CentOS). It runs as a self-contained virtual appliance, not on top of a general-purpose OS installation.
• B is wrong because HPE OneView does not ship as a dedicated physical appliance; it is software-defined and hypervisor-hosted, keeping it flexible and hardware-agnostic.

Memory tip: Think "OneView = One VM" - it always lives inside a virtual machine on a supported hypervisor. If an answer says it runs on Windows, Linux, or physical hardware directly, it's a trap.
