HPE Server Solutions — Question 35

A customer has a mixed environment based on the G6, G7, Gen8, and Gen9 ProLiant server blades. The customer is interested in implementing HPE OneView but needs to understand security and monitoring mechanisms for different server generations.
Which statement most accurately describes different platform support in HPE OneView?

Answer options

• A. WBEM Providers will be used for any server managed by HPE OneView.
• B. All servers managed by HPE OneView will use WBEM Providers, but collected data must be translated to the SNMP traps using embedded WMI Mapper.
• C. HPE OneView can manage G7, Gen8/Gen9 servers, while G6 servers can only be monitored.
• D. The customer can select from different management protocols between SNMP V2 and SNMP VS to match the security requirements.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as HPE OneView universally uses WBEM Providers for server management across different generations. Option B is incorrect because while WBEM Providers are used, the data does not necessarily need to be translated to SNMP traps. Option C is misleading since HPE OneView can manage G7 and Gen8/Gen9 servers but does not limit G6 to just monitoring. Option D is irrelevant as it does not pertain to the support of different server generations in HPE OneView.
