A storage administrator plans to migrate data from an HP EVA4400 to an HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000
Storage System. The administrator needs to ensure that after the upgrade, in the event of a failure,
hosts can access data replicated to another HP 3PAR without disruption. Which licensed option of
the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage System provides this capability?

A.
SmartStart

B.
Peer Persistence

C.
Virtual Service Processor (VSP)

D.
N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV)

Explanation:

HP 3PAR Peer Persistence Software allows you to break the boundaries of storage, enabling your
hosts, and data to move freely across data centers without impacting your business applications. It
helps you in implementing a true cloud solution, where storage resources are shared across data
centers, and are not constrained by their physical boundaries. Peer Persistence enables 3PAR
systems located at metropolitan distances to act as peers to each other, presenting a nearly
continuous storage system to hosts and servers connected to them.
This capability allows customers to configure a high-availability solution between two sites or data
centers where switchover and switchback remains transparent to the hosts and applications running
on those hosts. This secures business continuity without impacting performance and enables load
balancing putting investments at both the data centers to optimal use.
Incorrect:
Not A:
* SmartStart assisted with Windows OS installation process and integrated and optimized HP
ProLiant server support software drivers, utilities and management agents, known as ProLiant
Support Packs (PSPs).
* SmartStart was a single-server deployment tool that simplified HP ProLiant G7 server (and earlier)
setup, providing a repeatable way to deploy consistent configurations. It was included in the HP
Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant. Insight Foundation suite and SmartStart products are end-oflife (EOL) and the last servers they ship with are ProLiant G7 servers. ProLiant Gen8 servers and
beyond use Intelligent Provisioning which is initiated by pressing during the server boot (POST)
process.
Not C: HP 3PAR Service Processor functions as the communication interface between the customer’s
IP network and HP 3PAR Central by managing all service-related communications in both directions.
Not D: N_Port ID Virtualisation (NPIV) is an industry-standard Fibre Channel (FC) protocol that
provides a means to assign multiple FC addresses on the same physical link.
