You are installing a HCP G10 with attached storage. The system will be networked using four 10 GbE SFP+ interfaces. How many PCIe cards are installed…

The Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) G10 node is configured with specific PCIe adapter cards to meet networking requirements. To provide four 10 GbE SFP+ interfaces, two dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ network adapter cards are installed in the available PCIe slots. Each card provides two SFP+ ports, so two cards are required to achieve the total of four specified interfaces. This is a standard hardware configuration for the HCP G10 platform when SFP+ connectivity is required.

A. 1: A single dual-port 10 GbE SFP+ card would only provide two interfaces, not the required four.

C. 3: Installing three dual-port cards would result in six interfaces, which exceeds the specified requirement.

D. 4: Installing four dual-port cards would result in eight interfaces, which also exceeds the specified requirement.

Hitachi Vantara Documentation: Hitachi Content Platform G10 and G11 Hardware Installation and Service Guide (MK-92HCP047-11), Chapter 2: HCP G10 node components, Section: "PCIe card slot descriptions", Page 2-10. The table in this section lists the "Dual-port 10GbE SFP+ network adapter" as a supported option, confirming that two such cards are needed to provide four ports.
