HPE Simplivity Solutions — Question 12

You originally configured boot mode for HPE ProLiant Gen10 server to 'Legacy BIOS' in an HPE OneView server profile and deployed an operating system. A few weeks later, you change the boot mode to the 'UEFI optimized' to leverage some features provided by this mode.
What must you do next?

Answer options

• A. reset an iLO management processor to activate the new boot mode for the server
• B. reinstall an operating system, as UEFI is using different drive format than Legacy BIOS
• C. reset BIOS settings to the defaults so UEFI settings can be applied
• D. reset BIOS settings to the defaults through the server profile after changing the boot mode

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because resetting the iLO management processor is necessary to apply the changes made to the boot mode. Option B is incorrect since UEFI can support the same drive formats as Legacy BIOS without needing a reinstallation. Option C is also incorrect as resetting to defaults is not required to apply UEFI settings, and option D is wrong because resetting BIOS settings through the server profile isn't necessary immediately after changing boot modes.
