IBM Security QRadar V7.3.1 Fundamental Administration — Question 8

During a Guardium deployment planning meeting, a database administrator indicated that the mission critical databases were clustered.
How should the Guardium administrator handle S-TAP installation and configuration with respect to clustered databases?

Answer options

• A. Install S-TAP agents on all active nodes. Set ALL_CAN_CONTROL=1 to failover the S-TAP process to the passive nodes when a database failover occurs.
• B. Install S-TAP agents on all active nodes. Set WAIT_FOR_DB_EXEC=-1 to set the agent process to failover to the passive node when a database failover occurs.
• C. Install S-TAP agents on all active and passive nodes. Set ALL_CAN_CONTROL=0 to disable all passive nodes until a database failover occurs.
• D. Install S-TAP agents on all active and passive nodes: Set WAIT_FOR_DB_EXEC>0 on all nodes to start S-TAP processes without waiting for a correct DB

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it ensures that S-TAP agents are installed on all active nodes and allows seamless failover to passive nodes during database failover by setting ALL_CAN_CONTROL=1. Options B and D do not correctly address the need for failover on passive nodes, while option C disables passive nodes entirely, which is not suitable for a clustered environment.
