D. Take the service group offline

After simultaneously rebooting all nodes of a 3-node cluster hosting a critical application, two of the nodes fail to power on because of a hardware fault. What must the cluster administrator do before HAD can start and the critical application can be onlined on the surviving node?

A. fix the two failed nodes

B. edit the /etc/llttab file by deleting the two faulted nodes

C. edit the /etc/gabtab file by deleting the two faulted nodes

D. manually seed the surviving node with gabconfig -c -x

What is the primary benefit of implementing the Intelligent Monitoring Framework feature for resources?

A. Prevention of concurrency violations

B. Monitoring of resources running on remote clusters

C. Immediate notification of resource state change
