AZ-801 · Question #166

If App1 automatically fails over from Node3, App1 will fail back to Node3 automatically after Node3 is repaired.

The correct answer is B. No. App1 will not automatically fail back to Node3 after Node3 is repaired, as automatic failback is typically a configurable setting in failover clusters and is often disabled by default to avoid disruptive rebalancing.

Why each option

App1 will not automatically fail back to Node3 after Node3 is repaired, as automatic failback is typically a configurable setting in failover clusters and is often disabled by default to avoid disruptive rebalancing.

AYes

The statement is false; App1 will not automatically fail back to Node3. Automatic failback requires explicit configuration in most clustering solutions and is often disabled by default.

BNoCorrect

Failover clusters usually do not perform automatic failback by default. The failback setting for a clustered role (App1) can be configured, and if automatic failback is not explicitly enabled, the role will remain on the node it failed over to until a manual failback is initiated.
