ServiceNow CIS-Discovery free question 9 / 10 · Domain 4: Discovery Engagement Readiness
Which cluster types can you select for a MID Server cluster? (Choose two.)
- Load Balance
- Failover
- Mirror
- Standby
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A, B
Why this is correct
When you create a cluster, you select the cluster type Failover or Load Balance. Load-balancing clusters balance work and also handle fail-over; fail-over clusters do not load balance.
Why the other options are wrong
"Standby" … The cluster type field has two values, Failover and Load Balance. A standby MID Server is configured as part of a fail-over cluster.
"Mirror" … The cluster type field has two values, Failover and Load Balance. Mirroring is not one of them.
Key point
Fail-over clusters have a configured order that decides which MID Server is used next if one fails.
