Oracle WebLogic Server 12c: Administration I — Question 18

The Administration Server of a domain fails due to a hardware failure. The hardware is beyond repair.
Before the failure you prepared a "backup admin server". You go through your planned recovery process and are successful. The Administration Server is now running on different hardware. The managed servers of the domain automatically reconnect to the admin server.
Select the two statements that are true. (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Files of deployed applications are available to the backup admin server from the same relative location as they were to the original admin server.
• B. At the time of the failure, the backup admin server was running in "Standby" mode on different hardware in the same network.
• C. When the admin server failed, you must have shut down and restarted the managed servers, otherwise they could not have reconnected to the failed admin server.
• D. The backup admin server is any one of the running managed servers. You select one of the managed servers, stop it, set its "administration" flag, and restart it as the admin server of the domain.
• E. The backup admin server must be running at the same DNS name or IP address as the original.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

Statement B is correct because the backup admin server must be in 'Standby' mode to facilitate a smooth transition during a failure. Statement E is also true as the backup admin server must use the same DNS or IP address to ensure that managed servers can reconnect without configuration changes. The other statements are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the requirements or functionalities of the backup admin server in this context.
