Which feature will cause Node 2 to monitor this error condition for a period of three minutes by default, and then forcibly take over Node 1 if the error condition persists?

Which feature will cause Node 2 to monitor this error condition for a period of three minutes by default, and then forcibly take over Node 1 if the error condition persists?

• A. Negotiated Fail Over
• B. cf.quickloop.enable
• C. Takeover on panic
• D. Auto enable of giveback

Answer: (A)

Negotiated Failover is the mechanism that governs how an HA pair handles a detected error on the partner. When Node 2 observes an error condition on Node 1, it doesn’t rush to switch control immediately. Instead, it enters a monitoring window of about three minutes by default. If the error persists through that period, Node 2 will forcibly take over Node 1 to maintain service continuity. If the issue clears within the window, failover may be avoided, and normal operation resumes. This timed, negotiated approach is precisely what this scenario describes. Other options describe different failover behaviors—panic-triggered immediate takeover, quick-loop timing adjustments, or automatic giveback—not the three-minute monitoring leading to a forced takeover.
