[All HPE0-S59 Questions]

Your customer plans to deploy a VMware ESXi with HPE Synergy platform. They also plan a vSAN deployment leveraging HPE D3940 Storage Modules and SSD drives

The customer requested the following components:

- HPE Synergy frame with ten HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 Plus compute modules

- Two HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Modules for Synergy

- An appropriate number of vSAN Standard licenses for each compute node

- One HPE O3940 Storage Module with 40 SSDs - All required cables and options

Which statement about this request is true?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

vSAN licenses and vSphere licenses are separate entities. While vSAN licenses cover the storage virtualization aspect of VMware's hyper-converged infrastructure, vSphere licenses are required for the actual hypervisor operations. Therefore, the customer must ensure they have the appropriate vSphere licenses in addition to vSAN licenses for their compute nodes.

I think A is correct. vSAN licenses don't cover vSphere.

D is misleading. D3940 can actually support more SSDs.

I agree with A. You need both licenses for full functionality.

I don't think we need to replace the Virtual Connect module; I remember it being compatible. So, I'm leaning away from option C, but I'm not completely certain.

I recall that the D3940 can only support a certain number of drives, but I can't remember if it's 20 or 40. Option D sounds familiar, but I need to double-check that.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like we discussed something about needing Enterprise Plus licenses for vSAN in our practice questions. That could point to option B being true.

I think we need to consider the vSphere licenses carefully. I remember that vSAN licenses don't cover vSphere, so option A might be correct.
