CyberArk PAM-CDE Recertification — Question 86

For a Digital Vault Cluster in a high availability configuration, how does the cluster determine if a node is down?

Answer options

• A. The heartbeat is no longer detected on the private network.
• B. The shared storage array is offline.
• C. An alert is generated in the Windows Event log.
• D. The Digital Vault Cluster does not detect a node failure.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the cluster relies on heartbeat signals over the private network to monitor node status. If the heartbeat is lost, it indicates a potential failure of the node. Options B, C, and D do not accurately reflect how the cluster identifies a node failure in a high availability configuration.
