VCS-256 Online Practice Questions and Answers

An administrator wants to configure a custom event trigger to be invoked when the online script fails to execute and ManageFaults = NONE. Which trigger should the administrator configure?

A. resstatechange

B. resfault

C. postonline

D. resadminwait

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. All nodes in the cluster panic.

B. The cluster remains online, but the service groups go offline.

C. Private cluster communications are rerouted over the public network.

D. The service groups go into ADMIN-WAIT state.

Which attributes are required for configuring the Oracle agent for Veritas Cluster Server?

A. SID, DBAUser, EnvFile

B. SID, DBAUser, DBAPword

C. SID, Owner, Home

D. SID, DBAUser, Owner

The service group named websg is currently online on the sys3 node. All other nodes are running.

Consider the following partial main.cf file:

What happens to the websg service group if the administrator inadvertently shuts down a critical resource outside of the cluster?

A. nothing; the FailOverPolicy is Priority

B. it will switch to the sys1 node

C. it will switch to the sys2 node

D. nothing; the service group is frozen

An administrator is responsible for a stretched cluster between two data centers in different locations. The data is mirrored between sites. How should the configuration be deployed to maximize resilience if the administrator wants to set up I/ O fencing?

A. three coordinator disks at the primary site and three coordinator disks at the secondary site

B. two coordinator disks at the primary site and one coordinator disk at the secondary site

C. one coordinator disk at the primary site, one coordinator disk at the secondary site, and a coordination point server at the third site

D. three coordinator disks at the primary site must be mirrored to coordinator disks at the secondary site

Which behavior can be specified using the PreferredFencingPolicy attribute?

A. The fencing driver gives preference to high-capacity networks.

B. The fencing driver gives preference to high-capacity systems.

C. The fencing driver gives preference to Oracle type resources.

D. The fencing driver gives preference to disk groups with solid state devices.

Which utility should an administrator use to propagate changes made to the Solaris Zone configuration from one node to other cluster nodes?

A. hasync

B. hazoneconfigsync

C. haconfigdistribute

D. hamigrate

What happens if the cluster configuration is open and the cluster is forcibly stopped on all nodes?

A. VCS automatically rejects all hastop commands when the cluster configuration is open.

B. VCS is stopped and any configuration changes made since the cluster configuration was saved are lost.

C. VCS automatically writes the in-memory cluster configuration to the main.cf file then stops HAD.

D. VCS prompts the administrator to save the configuration when stopping HAD on all cluster nodes.

What does it mean when a cluster node is in the REMOTE_BUILD state?

A. The in-memory cluster configuration is being built by copying the in –memory configuration from another running cluster node.

B. The node is building the in-memory cluster configuration from the primary main.cf file on a remote node.

C. The in-memory configuration on the node is being updated to reflect configuration changes being made on a remote node.

D. It is the last node to join the cluster and must wait to build the in-memory configuration until all other nodes have their in-memory configuration.

A cluster has two high-priority LLT links and one low-priority link. The low-priority link is used for public network traffic. What is the state of the cluster if both high-priority links fail simultaneously?

A. All nodes remain in regular GAB membership, but are also in jeopardy membership.

B. The cluster is in a split-brain condition until at least one other LLT link is working.

C. The fencing race is initiated and service groups are failed over the winning nodes.

D. Service groups are unable to failover when resource faults occur, but can failover if a system fault occurs.
