HP Using HPE SimpliVity HPE2-K45 Question # 4 Topic 1 Discussion
HPE2-K45 Exam Topic 1 Question 4 Discussion:
Question #: 4
Topic #: 1
A customer wants to provide access to the HPE SimpliVity datastores for compute nodes running CPU-intensive virtual machines. What should you tell the customer?
A.
It is supported to connect up to 5 compute nodes per SimpliVity node.
B.
Additional license is required to connect ESXi nodes to SimpliVity datastores.
C.
Connecting ESXi compute nodes is possible only when VMFS datastores are configured at SimpliVity Federation level
D.
Compute nodes must reside in the same cluster as HPE SimpliVity nodes.
Compute nodes are x86 servers that run ESXi and consume the HPE SimpliVity datastores for storage. They provide additional CPU and memory resources to the environment without requiring additional SimpliVity licenses. However, they must reside in the same cluster as HPE SimpliVity nodes, as this is a requirement for the SimpliVity Data Virtualization Platform (DVP) to function properly. The number of compute nodes that can be connected per SimpliVity node is not limited to 5, but depends on the available network bandwidth and storage capacity. Additional license is not required to connect ESXi nodes to SimpliVity datastores, as this is a native capability of the SimpliVity DVP. Connecting ESXi compute nodes is not possible only when VMFS datastores are configured at SimpliVity Federation level, as this is not a prerequisite for the SimpliVity DVP.
