• Question 33:

  What is the purpose of the Steward process in a global cluster?

  A. to provide a backup communication link on each cluster in a global cluster configuration that takes over heartbeating in the event that the wide-area connector (WAC) faults
  B. to monitor the wide-area connector (WAC) processes on each local cluster on a global cluster configuration and ensure heartbeats are being sent
  C. to monitor the wide-area connector (WAC) processes on each local cluster on a global cluster configuration and restart the wide area connector (WAC) process if they fail
  D. to provide an inquiry mechanism for each local cluster in a global cluster configuration and determine the state of other clusters if heartbeats are undetected on the wide-area connector (WAC)
  B. to monitor the wide-area connector (WAC) processes on each local cluster on a global cluster configuration and ensure heartbeats are being sent
