Question

QUESTION 116: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some questions might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution. After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen. You have a failover cluster named Cluster1 that hosts an application named App1. The App1 Properties window, General tab, shows: Name: App1, Preferred Owners: Server1, Server2, Priority: Medium, Status: Running, Node: Server2. The App1 Properties window, Failover tab, shows: Maximum failures in the specified period: 3, Period (hours): 6, Failback: Allow failback, Immediately. Server1 shuts down unexpectedly. You need to ensure that when you start Server1, App1 continues to run on Server2. Does this meet the goal?

Why each option

Even if failback is allowed and Server1 is a preferred owner, the role might not fail back immediately due to other failback policy settings not detailed.

AYes

Simply allowing failback and listing a preferred owner does not guarantee immediate failback; the specific failback timing policy also dictates when a failback can happen, which is not fully specified.

BNoCorrect

The "Failback: Allow failback" setting enables the failback mechanism, but the specific failback policy might dictate *when* failback occurs, such as only during a specified time window, preventing an immediate failback. The provided text is incomplete regarding the full failback settings.
