HPE0-S59 Exam - Topic 1 Question 68 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE0-S59 exam

Question #: 68
Topic #: 1

Your customer wants to add dedicated Fibre Channel connectivity to the HPE Synergy frame running HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 compute modules, each with one CPU socket populated Currently they use two 12 Gb SAS switches and two HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Modules for HPE Synergy installed in third fabric.

What must be done to enable dedicated FC connectivity for this HPE Synergy frame?

AA second CPU must be installed for all HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 compute nodes.

BFor Brocade switches, a logical interconnect group must be created in HPE OneView.

CFor VC-FC modules, all of server facing ports must be property licensed.

DSAS switches must be moved to second fabric and FC modules Installed in the first one.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

To enable dedicated Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity in an HPE Synergy frame, if using Brocade switches, it is necessary to create a logical interconnect group in HPE OneView. This group defines the configuration and management of FC connectivity for the compute modules. Properly configuring and managing this logical interconnect group ensures that the compute modules can establish dedicated FC connections.

Definitely C. Without proper licensing, FC won't work at all.

Wait, do you really need a second CPU for the compute nodes? That seems excessive.

Option D all the way! Rearranging the fabrics is the most logical solution to get that dedicated FC up and running.

Hmm, I'm not sure about Option A. Adding a second CPU to the compute nodes doesn't seem necessary for enabling FC connectivity.

I feel like we discussed the requirement of having a second CPU for the compute nodes, but I thought that was more about performance than connectivity.

Moving the SAS switches to the second fabric sounds familiar, but I’m not confident if that’s the right approach for enabling FC connectivity.

I think we might need to license all the server-facing ports for the VC-FC modules, but I can't recall if that's mandatory for the setup.

I'm a bit stuck on whether a logical interconnect group needs to be created for the Brocade switches. I'll need to review the requirements for Brocade versus the VC-FC modules. Probably best to eliminate the other options first and then focus on that detail.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The question is clearly asking about setting up the fabric for FC connectivity, so I think option D is the correct answer. Moving the SAS switches and installing the FC modules in the right fabric should do the trick.
