The HP0-742 exam is the required test for earning the HP OpenView Storage Area Manager Fundamentals certification from HP. It assesses your command of the official exam objectives through scenario-based and knowledge questions, and the resulting credential is widely recognized by employers. Its reputation for difficulty is real but manageable — candidates who practice consistently with quality materials routinely walk in well prepared.

The official outline for the HP0-742 exam highlights these domains:

• Storage Policies and Operations ()
• Storage Infrastructure Administration ()
• Storage Area Management Fundamentals ()

Seeing the topics laid out this way often shrinks the exam's intimidation factor — each domain is a finite, learnable block, and the HP OpenView Storage Area Manager Fundamentals practice questions at TestKingIT follow the same structure.

No strict prerequisites; basic understanding of storage and networking concepts is recommended

The HP0-742 exam is demanding, but its difficulty is specific, not mysterious: unfamiliar question formats, time pressure, and a few heavily weighted domains. All three respond to the same remedy — repeated, timed exposure to exam-style questions. That is what the HP OpenView Storage Area Manager Fundamentals practice materials at TestKingIT provide, and the free demo lets you measure the real difficulty yourself before committing, which is usually the moment the fear starts shrinking.

The HP0-742 exam consists of Approximately 60–75 questions (commonly reported ~61–73) questions with a time allowance of 90 minutes minutes. Practicing full sets under a similar time cap is the most direct way to make sure pacing never costs you points on exam day.

HP offers these training resources for candidates:
