Your customer wants to manage their HPE Superdome Flex using HPE OneView. Which component must be added to HPE OneView to accomplish this task?

Question

Options

• ABaseboard Management Controller (BMC)
• BRack Management Controller (RMC)
• Call nPARs created within the complex
• Donly the base chassis from the complex

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  88% (35)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  8% (3)

Explanation

Option B is correct because the HPE Superdome Flex uses a Rack Management Controller (RMC) as its primary management interface, and HPE OneView integrates with the Superdome Flex by adding the RMC - this single addition gives OneView visibility into the entire complex, including hardware inventory, firmware, and partitioning.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (BMC): A Baseboard Management Controller is found on standard ProLiant and other commodity servers; the Superdome Flex architecture uses an RMC instead of a traditional BMC for rack-level management.
• C (all nPARs): nPARs (node partitions) are logical constructs discovered through the RMC - you don't add them individually to OneView.
• D (base chassis only): Adding just the chassis without the RMC provides no management capability; the RMC is the active controller that exposes the hardware to OneView.

Memory tip: Think of the RMC as the "front door" to the Superdome Flex complex - OneView knocks on that one door and gains access to everything inside (chassis, nPARs, resources). No RMC = no entry.
