Which two requirements must be meet to allow an administrator to configure LLT heartbeats over UDP? (Select two.)
- A. each link must have a unique UDP port
- B. each NIC must have an IP address configured before configuring LLT
- C. the maximum transmission unit (MTU) must be set to the lowest value supported by the NICs
- D. broadcast must be enabled for the heartbeat subnet
- E. the LLT private links must be on the same subnet
Correct Answer: A,B 🗳️
Due to a high security risk, a mandatory shutdown of Ethernet switches is scheduled in a data center where the switches are used for two private heartbeat links on a local cluster. A low-priority heartbeat link, which has been configured over a public interface, is unaffected by the shutdown. I/O fencing is disabled.
Which cluster behavior is expected when the private switches are both shut down for the upgrade?
- A. The cluster remains online, but the service groups go offline.
- B. All nodes in the cluster panic.
- C. Private cluster communications are rerouted over the public network.
- D. The service groups go into ADMIN-WAIT state.
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
Refer to the configuration.
What will happen to the websg service group if the websg is online when all the systems in the cluster are rebooted simultaneously, then all the systems finish booting and successfully join the cluster?
- A. it will unfreeze on reboot and start on sys1
- B. it will return to the state it was in prior to the reboot
- C. it will remain offline on all systems
- D. it will start on sys1 in a frozen state
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
An administrator is configuring a websg service group and a dbsg service group. The administrator needs to configure Veritas Cluster Server so websg will only come online if dbsg is online somewhere in the cluster.
If dbsg faults, websg should stay online. If dbsg is unable to fail over, the websg should stay online.
Which type of service group dependency does this require?
- A. online global firm
- B. online global soft
- C. online remote soft
- D. online local soft
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
What does the AdaptiveHA feature of Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) provide?
- A. It uses the Priority attribute of service groups to take lower priority service groups offline when a higher priority service group fails over to the system.
- B. It provides increased availability to the applications on the single node VCS cluster in virtual environments for planned maintenance events.
- C. It selects the biggest available target system to fail over an application when the service group attribute FailOverPolicy is set to BiggestAvailable.
- D. It switches a service group with FailOverPolicy set to BiggestAvailable to less loaded systems in the cluster when the local system becomes overloaded.
