Question 260
A standby R82 Management Server is synchronized and reachable, but SmartConsole opened against that standby lets an auditor view objects without modifying them. An administrator must publish a new outbound access rule without causing an HA role change. An alternate diagnosis concerns the requirement to unlock an administrator locked only on a standby node, for which a colleague suggests run the unlock-administrator API action on that Standby Server. Based on the recorded symptoms, which corrective step should have priority?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Only the Active server accepts normal management changes. This directly addresses the documented incident evidence.
Incorrect Answers
A controlled management changeover restores an Active management server, yet that applies to recover administration when the active management node goes offline rather than the observed issue.
A standby-only lock can require local API action on that node, but the current evidence calls for a different R82 operation.
One Active server is required for a consistent normal HA state; this does not resolve the observed condition.
