IBM Security Access Manager V9.0 Deployment — Question 24

An IBM Security Access Manager (ISAM) V9.0 environments is configured with Primary and Secondary Masters servers. The Primary master node becomes unavailable and ISAM deployment professional promotes the Secondary Master node to a Primary Master.
What happens to the original Primary Master when it becomes available and rejoins the network?

Answer options

• A. It is automatically removed from the cluster.
• B. It is automatically demoted to the role of a non-master node.
• C. It is automatically promoted to the role of a primary Master node.
• D. It is automatically demoted to the role of a Secondary Master node.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because when the original Primary Master rejoins the network after being down, it is automatically promoted back to the Primary Master role. Options A and B are incorrect as the original Primary Master is not removed or demoted to a non-master node in this scenario. Option D is also incorrect because it does not get demoted to a Secondary Master; instead, it takes back its original role.
