HPE Hybrid IT Solutions — Question 9

A customer plans to expand in the future to an HPE Synergy installation with SAS connectivity.
What should you explain to the customer regarding SAS connectivity?

Answer options

• A. External storage devices can be connected to the SAS Synergy switches only if they were installed prior Composer configuration
• B. SAS connectivity will require additional licenses
• C. It will be not possible to add SAS connectivity to the existing environment if the logical enclosure is configured
• D. SAS connectivity is supported only in the first fabric, so it should not be used for any other connections

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it highlights the requirement for external storage devices to be connected to SAS Synergy switches only if they were installed before the Composer configuration. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they either misrepresent licensing needs or the limitations regarding the logical enclosure and fabric configurations.
