Question#4

How many orchestrators may Dual-Site include?

A. 2 or 4
B. 2
C. 1
D. Only 4

Explanation:
A Dual Site environment can include either two or four orchestrators, depending on the scenario.
There are three primary scenarios for Dual Site configuration:
• Direct connectivity between remote site orchestrators: This scenario requires two orchestrators, one for each site, and a direct connection between them using the site-sync port.
• Two orchestrators on the same site are connected to the remote site orchestrators through two different switches: This scenario requires four orchestrators, two for each site, and a connection between them using the site-sync port and two external switches that support QinQ and MTU increment.
• Two orchestrators on the same site are connected to the remote site orchestrators through one switch: This scenario also requires four orchestrators, two for each site, and a connection between them using the site-sync port and one external switch that supports QinQ and MTU increment.

Question#5

After you import the R81.10 software package, what do you use to verify that it is possible to upgrade an MHO or SG?

A. Run HC
B. One of the tests will list upgrade eligibility status for the MHO or S
C. Run the Pre-Upgrade Verifier to make sure it is possible to upgrade
D. Nothing. CPUSE will run a verification during the upgrade process to ensure the package is compatible.
E. The package is verified during the import process and a warning or error will be displayed at that time.

Explanation:
The Pre-Upgrade Verifier is a tool that checks the compatibility and readiness of the Maestro environment for the upgrade process. It verifies the current version, the target version, the hardware requirements, the configuration settings, and the license validity of the Maestro Orchestrators and the Security Groups. It also identifies any potential issues or risks that might affect the upgrade and provides recommendations on how to resolve them. The Pre-Upgrade Verifier should be run before importing the R81.10 software package and before performing the actual upgrade.
