When configuring NTP on a 4-node Gen 6 cluster, how many chimer nodes are automatically configured on the cluster?

The correct answer is C. 3. By default, if the cluster has more than three nodes, three of the nodes are selected as 'chimers'. Chimers are nodes which can contact the external NTP servers. If the cluster comprises three nodes or less, only one node will be selected as a chimer. If no external NTP server…

Explanation

By default, if the cluster has more than three nodes, three of the nodes are selected as 'chimers'. Chimers are nodes which can contact the external NTP servers. If the cluster comprises three nodes or less, only one node will be selected as a chimer. If no external NTP server is set, they will use the local clock instead. The other non-chimer nodes will use the chimer nodes as their NTP servers. The chimer nodes are selected by the lowest node number which is not excluded from chimer duty. https://community.emc.com/community/products/isilon/blog/2019/04
