ServiceNow CIS-Discovery free question 7 / 10 · Domain 3: Configuration Management Database
Which is an example of an independent CI?
- An application CI
- A server CI
- A network adapter CI
- A database CI
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B
Why this is correct
Independent CIs, such as Server CIs, exist on their own and are not dependent on any other CIs.
Why the other options are wrong
"A network adapter CI" … A network adapter cannot exist meaningfully without the hardware that contains it, so it is dependent.
"An application CI" … An application cannot exist on its own without the server it is hosted on.
"A database CI" … A database also runs on a host and cannot exist on its own without it.
Key point
Dependency is set in CI Class Manager with dependent relationship rules. Whether a CI is independent or dependent changes the identification steps.
