Exam 156-315.81.20 topic 1 question 104 discussion

Renaming the hostname of the Standby member to match the Active member is not part of the recommended procedure and can cause unexpected behavior. The correct steps are to manually synchronize the Active and Standby Security Management Servers, change the Active Security Management Server to Standby, and then change the Standby Security Management Server to Active.

Re-Read the question and will go with A. As this should "NOT" be performed as the question asks.

Surely the answer here is to promote the standby SMS to Active.

I don't understand WHY ON EARTH would you rename the secondary hostname and nonetheless to the same hostname of the Primary??

A : Should NOT be performed B,C,D: Should be performed

Vote for C : Manually synchronize Active and Standby , since Active is still responsive.
