IBM Security Access Manager V9.0 Deployment — Question 21

A customer's IBM Security Access Manager V9.0 deployment consists of a cluster with Primary and Secondary masters. The Primary master fails and becomes unavailable and prevents any policy updates.
Which action is required to ensure policy updates can be applied?

Answer options

• A. Promote the Secondary to Primary
• B. Enable the Policy server in Secondary master
• C. Set the policy DB in the secondary to read-write state
• D. Restore a backed up master policy database to the secondary master

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because enabling the Policy server on the Secondary master allows it to manage policy updates while the Primary is unavailable. Option A is incorrect as promoting the Secondary to Primary without enabling the Policy server won't resolve the issue. Option C doesn't directly address the need for applying updates, and option D involves restoring a backup rather than utilizing the current Secondary master for updates.
