The active-active status will be interrupted if a quorum server is faulty.

Question

Options

• ATrue
• BFalse

• A
  19% (8)
• B
  81% (34)

Explanation

Option B is correct because a quorum server acts as a tiebreaker to resolve split-brain scenarios, not as a component that actively sustains cluster operations. In an active-active cluster, all nodes continue serving traffic as long as the cluster nodes themselves are functional and communicating with each other - the quorum server's availability is not required for normal operation to continue.

Option A is incorrect because it conflates the quorum server's role in dispute resolution with a dependency that would halt active-active status. A faulty quorum server only becomes a problem if the cluster simultaneously experiences a network partition; without that concurrent failure, the cluster keeps running uninterrupted.

Memory tip: Think of the quorum server as a referee - the match continues without the referee as long as both teams are cooperating. The referee is only called upon when there is a dispute. Similarly, the quorum server is only critical during a split-brain event, not during normal active-active operation.
