Server1 shuts down unexpectedly. You need to ensure that when you start Server1, App1 continues to run on Server2. Solution: From the General settings, you move Server2 up. Does this meet the goal?

The correct answer is B. No. Adjusting the order of servers in 'General settings' by moving Server2 up will not ensure App1 runs on Server2 immediately after Server1's unexpected shutdown.

Why each option

Adjusting the order of servers in 'General settings' by moving Server2 up will not ensure App1 runs on Server2 immediately after Server1's unexpected shutdown.

AYes

BNoCorrect

Moving Server2 up in the 'General settings,' which typically refers to preferred owners, primarily affects where a cluster role will run during a planned move or after a restart. It does not guarantee an immediate failover to Server2 in the event of an unexpected shutdown of Server1, as failover logic is governed by other cluster parameters and the availability of nodes.
