HP Designing HP SAN Networking Solutions : HP0-J65

Scenario:
A company has been using a Fibre Channel infrastructure for the last three years. The company is located in a nine-story building but is currently occupying eight floors. Each of the nine floors has its own Brocade 8 Gb SAN Switch with Fibre Channel, which has a license for eight ports. Each department hosts a single Windows 2008 terminal server host for connection to their storage and data applications on the SAN, which is in the data center on the first floor. Each Brocade 8/8 switch is connected to the floor above and below by a single fibre connection.
Refer to the Scenario:
Which components should be included in a proposal for this customer?

• A. Add an ISL cable from the ninth floor to the data center switch.
• B. Add a director switch to the data center with ISL to each floor switch.
• C. Add an addtional port license on each switch.
• D. Add two additional ISL cables to each switch.

A customer has bought another company and wants to merge both SANs. Both SANs are B-Series based and were modernized a year ago. You are asked to plan the new consolidated SAN and to propose a migration strategy.
In this scenario, what else should you recommend to the customer in advance of the merger?

• A. Use the same topology in both SANs.
• B. Use the same switch models in both SANs
• C. Use the same zoning configuration in both SANs.
• D. Use the same Domain IDs in both SANs

Which tool is used during the demonstration of a solution that includes the HP 2408 FCoE Converged Network Switch?

• A. Fabric Manager Server
• B. SAN Network Advisor
• C. SAN Connection Manager
• D. HP Intelligent Infrastructure Analyzer

Scenario
Following the merger of two financial companies, management is considering combining the two distinct customer call centers into a single physical location. In addition to the overall call center headcount increasing by 30%, the support for two distinct customer bases presents the potential of having two different desktop PCs on the desk of each call center employee. Instead of correspondingly increasing IT support headcount to manage the single, larger call center and call center infrastructure, management believes they can reduce the required time to support call center operations by 40% if they employ virtual desktop technology.
An initial assessment has identified the need for a centralized storage solution that could support 500 virtual desktops running a variety of applications that can scale quickly to accommodate an expected increase in call center staff. The customer is already an HP Blade System customer using HP Virtual Connect Flex-10.
Some of the additional business criteria identified in customer planning interviews includes:
Use client virtualization for the desktops.
Achieve the highest possible density and performance for the virtual desktops,but keep the virtual desktop storage traffic off the network due to a current, existing limitation of only 1GbE.
Do not use standalone, network-attached storage.
Limit the impact of additional rack space.
Minimize the risk of additional help-desk tickets.
Present multiple solutions, prioritized with a recommendation.
Refer to the scenario.
Your proposed design includes a VMware View environment using HP storeVirtual 4800. What has to be considered when designing a solution?

• A. Use VMware View provisioning servers outside the blade to minimize LAN traffic to the enclosure.
• B. Offer asynchronous replication to keep the virtual desktops up and running in case of a component failure.
• C. Include HP virtual Connect FlexFabric to connect to the HP StoreVirtual environment.
• D. Avoid boot storms and insufficient response times during critical shift change hours.

A company runs a data center for smaller customers. Some of their customers require 24x7 availability. The company infrastructure consists of traditional 1Gb Ethernet and 4Gb Fibre Channel networks.
Their SAN consists of a dual redundant fabric with six HP StorageWorks 4/32 SAN Switches in each fabric.
The fabrics have a full-meshed topology with two ISls for each mesh link. They have only two available free ports on each switch.
They have 20 VMware-based servers and 7 Windows 2008 servers, which are attached with redundant paths to their SAN.
They also have three HP EVA 6xxx and two tape libraries with 4 drives of HP Ultrium 4 FC drives in each tape library.
Recently they added two HP 3PAR StoreServ 10400 Storage Systems. The servers and storage devices are distributed on the switches.
All of the devices are distributed between two data centers that are 1 km apart.
The company has not experienced any performance issues. They plan to acquire additional customers and are concerned that their infrastructure will not support future growth. The company wants to make sure that they will be able to accommodate changing I/O traffic patterns and reduce the complexity for expansion.
Which change to the SAN should you recommend in your presentation to the IT Director of the company?

• A. change to HP SN6000 Stackable Fibre Channel Switches
• B. change to core-edge-topology for each fabric
• C. change to HP SN6OOOC 8Gb Fibre Channel Switches
• D. add the HP B-series SAN Network Advisor Enterprise to each fabric
