A customer wants to estimate the cost of the licenses required to manage HP Synergy and some external components When component includes an HPE OneView license for management?

Question

Options

• ACompute Module
• BStorage Array
• CMaster Module
• DLogical Enclosure

• A
  96% (25)
• C
  4% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because HPE Synergy Compute Modules (server blades, e.g., Synergy 480 Gen10) each include a bundled HPE OneView Advanced license, meaning the cost of OneView management is factored into the compute node price - no separate license purchase is needed per compute blade.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B. Storage Array - Storage components like the D3940 Storage Module do not bundle an OneView license; their management overhead is covered by the frame/compute licensing model.
• C. Master Module (Frame Link Module) - This handles inter-frame communication and management networking, but it is not the component that carries the OneView license entitlement.
• D. Logical Enclosure - This is a logical construct within OneView representing one or more physical Synergy frames; it is not a purchasable hardware component and therefore cannot include a license.

Memory tip: Think "C for Compute = C for Cost of OneView" - the billable, licensed unit in Synergy is the Compute Module because that's the resource you're actually deploying and managing, so the license rides with it.
