IBM Security Access Manager V9.0 Deployment — Question 3

A deployment professional attempts to log into an appliance which is part of a cluster to run pdadmin commands and receives the following message: pdadmin> login-a sec_master ""p password
2016-03-03-02:04:38:.683-06:001 ---0x1354A420 pdadmin ERROR ivc socket mtsclient.cpp 2376
0x7fc2b7b0c720
HPDCO1056E Could not connect to the server 192.168.254.11, on port 7135.
Error: Could not connect to the server. (status 0x1354a426)
What should the deployment professional check concerning the login target?

Answer options

• A. Login was attempted on a special node
• B. Login was attempted on a restricted node
• C. Login was attempted on a secondary master that has not been promoted to the primary
• D. Login was attempted on a non-primary master of a cluster and the primary policy server is down.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the error indicates that the connection attempt was made to a secondary master, which typically cannot handle login requests unless it is promoted to primary. The other options do not directly relate to the specific context of the connection error presented in the log message.
