HPE Server Solutions — Question 2

When designing a Superdome X configuration for a customer, which storage configuration should the architect choose?

Answer options

• A. one mezzanine FC port on one nPar dedicated for booting from an MSA 2040 and an additional FC port for user data
• B. booting from a local direct attached SSD disk and a mezzanine FC port for user data storage on an MSA 2040
• C. a single mezzanine FC port in each nPar for common access to all volumes on an HPE 3PAR StoreServ
• D. booting from a local direct attached SSD disk and a mezzanine TOE N/W port for user data accessing an MSA 2040 using iSCSI

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a single mezzanine FC port in each nPar allows for efficient shared access to all volumes on an HPE 3PAR StoreServ, which is ideal for a Superdome X configuration. Options A and B restrict the architecture to a single nPar or specific storage devices, limiting flexibility, while D involves using iSCSI which may not be optimal for all user data access scenarios.
