Planning and Administering Microsoft Azure for SAP Workloads — Question 82

You are planning the implementation of a Pacemaker cluster that will run Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and host three SAP HANA nodes.

You need to recommend a solution to ensure that a node is shut down if there is an issue on the node. The solution must minimize complexity and costs.

What should you include in the recommendation?

Answer options

• A. an Azure Automation runbook
• B. an Azure fence agent configuration
• C. a virtual machine scale set in Flexible orchestration mode
• D. a STONITH Block Device (SBD) with an iSCSI target

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B, as an Azure fence agent configuration provides a straightforward way to manage node failures in a Pacemaker cluster by isolating problematic nodes. Options A, C, and D introduce unnecessary complexity or are not specifically designed for efficiently managing node failures within the context of a Pacemaker cluster.
