Which statement about access to HPE Onboard Administrator is true when an HPE BladeSystem enclosure is added to HPE OneView?

Question

Options

• AIt is blocked when an HPE BladeSystem enclosure is managed using HPE OneView.
• BIt is enabled only when an HPE BladeSystem enclosure is monitored using HPE OneView.
• CIt is enabled when an HPE BladeSystem is either managed or monitored using HPE OneView.
• DIt is blocked when HPE BladeSystem enclosure is monitored using HPE OneView.

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  94% (31)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option B is correct because when HPE OneView operates in monitored mode, it only observes the BladeSystem enclosure without taking ownership - the Onboard Administrator (OA) remains directly accessible since OneView isn't actively managing the hardware configuration.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is the reverse of the truth - OA access is blocked in managed mode (not monitored), because OneView takes full control and direct OA access could cause conflicting configurations.
• C is incorrect because access is not enabled in both modes - managed mode specifically blocks OA access to prevent management conflicts with OneView.
• D flips the relationship entirely - monitored mode is precisely when OA access remains enabled, not blocked.

Memory tip: Think Managed = Muzzled (OA is silenced/blocked), while Monitored = Maintains access (OA stays open). OneView only locks down the OA when it's in charge; when it's just watching, it leaves the OA alone.
