CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 297

A cloud administrator is setting up a DR site on a different zone of the same CSP. The application servers are replicated using the VM replication, and the database replication is set up using log shipping. Upon testing the DR site, the application servers are unable to access the database servers. The administrator has verified the systems are running and are accessible from the CSP portal. Which of the following should the administrator do to fix this issue?

Answer options

• A. Change the database application IP.
• B. Create a database cluster between the primary site and the DR site.
• C. Update the connection string.
• D. Edit the DNS record at the DR site for the application servers.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as updating the connection string will ensure that the application servers can correctly locate and connect to the database servers. Options A and B are not necessary since the primary issue is connectivity, and editing the DNS record in option D may not address the underlying connection string configuration that is needed for the application servers to access the database.
