A Customer wants to expand their existing HPE SimpliVity cluster. You propose adding a similar size host with newer generation Intel CPUs.
What needs to be done to facilitate adding the new hosts to the cluster?
To enable EVC on the cluster, the following steps are required5:
Power off all virtual machines in the cluster, or migrate them to another cluster.
Edit the cluster settings and select the EVC mode that corresponds to the baseline CPU feature set for the cluster. The EVC mode must be equivalent to or a subset of the feature set of the host with the smallest feature set in the cluster.
Add the new hosts to the cluster and verify that they are compatible with the EVC mode.
Power on the virtual machines in the cluster, or migrate them back from another cluster.
EVC does not allow vMotion between hosts with different CPU vendors, such as AMD and Intel.
EVC does not prevent vMotion from failing for other reasons, such as network or storage incompatibility.
EVC may prevent virtual machines from accessing some CPU features that are available on newer hosts, but not on older hosts.
EVC may not work with some applications that do not follow the CPU vendor recommended methods of feature detection.
Therefore, enabling EVC should be carefully planned and tested before adding the new hosts to the cluster.
3:HPE SimpliVity Expansion Installation and Startup Service
Your customer is acquiring a new HPE Alletra 9000 Fibre Channel array and wishes to utilize it with their existing Fibre Channel switches.
Which resource should you use to determine whether the switches are compatible?
Your customer needs the smallest physical footprint for their S3 bucket storage requirement.
Which HPE alliance platform should you recommend?
HPE Solutions for Scality Artesca is a lightweight, cloud-native object storage platform that supports S3 bucket storage for modern applications. It is designed to run on Kubernetes and bare metal servers, and can be deployed on a single node or scaled out to petabytes. It offers high performance, durability, and federated data management across edge, core, and cloud environments. It also has a low total cost of ownership and a flexible consumption model with HPE GreenLake. Compared to the other options, HPE Solutions for Scality Artesca has the smallest physical footprint and the most portability and scalability for S3 bucket storage requirements.Reference:
