A customer looks for a storage solution to boot the hypervisor, where one is active and the other standby. Which solution will allow the requirement?

The requirement for a storage solution that can boot the hypervisor with one component active and the other in standby points directly to IDSDM (Internal Dual SD Module). IDSDM is designed specifically for enterprise environments where high availability and redundancy are critical.

This module allows the installation of the hypervisor on two SD cards, where one card serves as the primary boot device and the other as a backup (standby). In the event of failure of the primary card, the system can automatically switch to the standby card, ensuring continuous operation without downtime.

The other options do not support this specific requirement effectively. BIOS and UEFI are types of firmware interfaces but do not have redundancy integrated for boot storage at the same level. Meanwhile, BOSS (Boot Optimized Storage Solution) is focused on providing optimized boot support but does not inherently provide the same dual-card redundancy for booting the hypervisor as IDSDM does. Thus, choosing IDSDM aligns perfectly with the need for a reliable and fault-tolerant boot solution for hypervisors in enterprise systems.
