Assuming other failover settings are at their default state, what would occur if the failover cable were to be disconnected for five seconds and then reconnected.

Question

Accepted Answer

C. When the cable is disconnected, both systems will become active. When the voltage is restored, unit two When the failover cable is disconnected, both systems lose communication and independently assume they are the only active unit, resulting in a split-brain scenario where both become active. Upon reconnection, the units negotiate roles, typically with the lower-priority or higher-ID unit reverting to standby.

Answer

A. As long as network communication is not lost, no change will occur. Loss of the failover cable, which provides a dedicated heartbeat, is a critical failover event regardless of other network connectivity.

Answer

B. Nothing. Failover due to loss of voltage will not occur if the voltage is lost for less than ten seconds. Failover is triggered by the loss of the failover cable's heartbeat, not specifically voltage loss, and default timeouts are typically shorter than ten seconds.

Answer

D. When the cable is disconnected, both systems will become active. When the voltage is restored, both While both systems becoming active is correct upon disconnection, the resolution process upon reconnection typically results in one unit becoming standby, not both remaining active.
