HPE Server Solutions — Question 31

An architect is planning an HPE Moonshot System deployment. The architect plans to individually connect each iLO CM module to the management network. The customer informs the architect that this plan requires too many 1GbE ports per rack for the data center infrastructure.
What is one way that the architect can alter the plan to meet the customers needs, while still allowing iLO access to the HPE Moonshot Systems?

Answer options

• A. Configure iLO traffic to share the same adapters as production traffic. Configure VLANs on the HPE Moonshot switch modules to separate the two types of traffic.
• B. Keep one iLO CM Management port connected to the network. Use the iLO CM link ports on each iLO CM module to daisy chain the chassis together.
• C. Enable the iLO REST API on each cartridge node. The nodes will then accept iLO commands on the adapters that they use for production traffic.
• D. Add a second switch module and uplink module to each chassis to connect to the cartridge iLO ports. Stack the modules in different chassis and connect just one to the management network.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because adding a second switch module allows for connecting multiple iLO ports without needing additional 1GbE ports for each individual iLO CM module. Options A, B, and C do not effectively reduce the port requirements for the management network and may not provide the necessary access to the iLO interfaces.
