The HPE SimpliVity OmniStack Interoperability Guide is a document that provides the information about the supported hardware and software components for the HPE SimpliVity solution, such as the HPE SimpliVity nodes, the VMware ESXi hosts, the VMware vCenter Server, the HPE OmniStack software, the HPE SimpliVity Arbiter, and the guestoperating systems1. The guide also provides the compatibility matrix and the configuration guidelines for the HPE SimpliVity solution. The ESXi version (option B) and the guest OS version (option C) are two items that can be found in the HPE SimpliVity OmniStack Interoperability Guide, as they are essential for the proper functioning and performance of the HPE SimpliVity solution. The guide lists the supported ESXi versions for each HPE SimpliVity node model and HPE OmniStack software version, as well as the supported guest OS versions for each HPE SimpliVity node model1. The GPU accelerators (option A), the vSphere license (option D), and the processor model (option E) are not items that can be found in the HPE SimpliVity OmniStack Interoperability Guide, as they are not relevant or required for the HPE SimpliVity solution. The GPU accelerators are not supported by the HPE SimpliVity solution, as they are not compatible with the HPE SimpliVity nodes2. The vSphere license is not specified by the HPE SimpliVity solution, as it depends on the customer’s choice and needs3. The processor model is not listed by the HPE SimpliVity solution, as it is already determined by the HPE SimpliVity node model4. References:
