, 1.A customer has approved a proposal for two HPE ProLiant servers. The presales engineer has
selected the processors, memory capacity, and storage options. Before submitting the order, the
engineer needs to build a valid configuration and produce the bill of materials.
Which HPE tool should the engineer use?
A. HPE Power Advisor
B. HPE Smart Storage Administrator
C. HPE One Config Advanced
D. HPE Smart Update Manager
Answer: C
Explanation:
HPE One Config Advanced (OCA) is used to assemble HPE configurations using product configuration
rules and generate a bill of materials. The requirements and main components have already been
selected; the engineer now needs to turn those selections into a valid configuration for ordering.
Power Advisor estimates power requirements. Smart Storage Administrator configures supported
storage controllers, arrays, and logical drives. Smart Update Manager inventories systems and deploys
applicable firmware, driver, and system software updates. None of those tools performs the ordering
configuration task described here.
Blueprint objective: 6 — Use HPE Pre-Sales Tools.

● HPE Compute Fundamentals — official course outline and presales tools
2.During a maintenance window, an administrator uses HPE SUM to update a ProLiant server. SUM
reports that a system ROM update has been installed and requires a server reboot. The administrator
restarts iLO, but the server still reports the previous active ROM version.
What should the administrator do next?
A. Run the ROM update again using the same update baseline.
B. Reboot the host server and check the active ROM version.
C. Refresh the firmware inventory without restarting the host.
D. Select the redundant ROM as the next boot image.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Resetting iLO restarts the management controller, not the host server. The update in this scenario
requires a host reboot before the new system ROM becomes active. The administrator should complete
that reboot during the maintenance window and then verify the active version.
Repeating a successfully installed update does not address the pending activation requirement.
Refreshing the inventory cannot activate the ROM. Selecting the redundant ROM changes which ROM
image the server will use; it is not the required next step for this successful update.
Blueprint objective: 8 — Describe how to update Firmware for HPE Compute.
