Which three statements describe fails in the high availability of Cisco Unified Intelligent Contact Management central controller? (Choose three.)
The correct answer is A. If ICM Logger side A fails, router side B cannot send historical info to ICM Logger side A and is C. If ICM Logger side A fails, the impact of call processing is limited to ICM call router side A. D. If one ICM call router of a duplex pair of Cisco Unified ICM call routers fails, the surviving ICM call. A, C, and D correctly describe failure behaviors in Cisco Unified ICM's duplex (redundant) central controller architecture.

Explanation
A, C, and D correctly describe failure behaviors in Cisco Unified ICM's duplex (redundant) central controller architecture. A is correct because an ICM Logger failure breaks the historical data path between its paired router side and that logger - Router side A loses its ability to send historical data to Logger side A. C is correct because Logger side A failing is contained: it impacts only its paired side (side A), leaving side B fully operational, so call processing degradation is isolated. D is correct because this is the core HA premise - when one router in a duplex pair fails, the surviving router inherits call routing responsibilities and processing continues.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- B is wrong because Peripheral Gateways play no role in determining which call router is active - the routers themselves handle that determination via their private LAN link and internal mechanisms.
- E is wrong because a Logger failure does cause impact, specifically to historical data collection and reporting, even though real-time call routing is unaffected; "no impact" is too absolute.
- F (though truncated) is wrong because calls already in progress are generally maintained through failover by the surviving router - in-progress calls are not simply dropped.
Memory tip: Think "Logger = history, Router = routing." Logger failure hurts reporting on that side only (A, C). Router failure triggers failover to the survivor (D). PGs route calls - they never vote on who's the active controller (B is a trap).
