A customer has upgraded their network core using an HP Intelligent Resilient Framework
(IRF) stack. The customer needs to reduce their network and FC storage cabling as well as
increase the resilience of these networks to the servers. The customer needs failure of an
upstream switch or uplink to be communicated all the way to the server operating system or
hypervisor, and the traffic will be sent through the other NIC in the team. You propose blade
servers to meet these requirements. Which product should you demonstrate to the
customer?
A.
HP VC FlexFabric in an Active/Passive configuration
B.
HP 6125 Blade Switch in an Active/Active configuration
C.
HP 6125XG Blade Switch in an Active/Passive configuration
D.
HP VC FlexFabric in an Active/Active configuration
D is correct answer. To reduce network and FC storage cabling, only VC FlexFabric has this ability.

Hi. Congrats on passing your exam, but doesn’t “traffic will be sent through the other NIC in the team” imply an Active/Passive configuration instead of Active/Active?
Therefore the answer should be A?

The answer should be D. You are right. I read from the study guide, Active/Passive design cannot achieve the below requirement. Only Active/Active can:
“The customer needs failure of an upstream switch or uplink to be communicated all the way to the server operating system or hypervisor”
