Your customer plans to replace a legacy HPE BladeSystem solution with the HPE Synergy platform.

The correct answer is C because HPE Synergy D3940 is an in-frame direct-attached storage module, and compute modules access it through HPE Synergy 12Gb SAS Connection Modules. For a redundant in-frame storage design, each Synergy frame that contains a D3940 storage module should include two SAS connection modules to provide redundant paths between the compute modules and the storage module. This is especially important for virtualization and software-defined storage designs such as vSAN, where storage path availability is a core design requirement. Option A is incorrect because HPE OneView Advanced licensing is associated with managed server infrastructure licensing, not separate additional licenses for every Virtual Connect or D3940 module. Option B is not required for this in-frame DAS design; Fibre Channel switches are used for SAN connectivity, not for D3940 SAS connectivity. Option D misstates Composer design: Composer redundancy is planned at the management-appliance level, not as a simple one-per-frame removal rule. This aligns with the course’s Synergy, composable infrastructure, virtualization, and storage-networking design objectives.
