CAD Disaster Recovery & High Availability Flashcards

In a CyberArk high-availability deployment, what is the role of the Disaster Recovery Vault?

Answer: It maintains a real-time replica of the primary Vault and activates if the primary fails

The Disaster Recovery Vault continuously replicates data from the primary Vault and can be promoted to become the active Vault if the primary is unavailable.

Which replication mode does CyberArk use by default between the primary Vault and the DR Vault?

Answer: Synchronous replication

CyberArk replicates data from the primary to the DR Vault synchronously, ensuring zero data loss if failover is required.

What is the maximum recommended network latency between the primary CyberArk Vault and its DR Vault to ensure synchronous replication performance?

Answer: 20 ms

CyberArk recommends no more than 20 ms round-trip latency between the primary and DR Vault to maintain acceptable synchronous replication performance.

During a CyberArk DR failover, which administrative action must be performed to promote the DR Vault to active status?

Answer: Run the Failover command from the PrivateArk Client on the DR Vault

An administrator runs the Failover command from the PrivateArk Client connected to the DR Vault to promote it to active primary status.

In CyberArk, what file contains replication configuration parameters for the Disaster Recovery Vault, including the primary Vault address?

Answer: PADR.ini

PADR.ini is the configuration file for the CyberArk DR Vault, specifying the primary Vault address, replication credentials, and related settings.

Which CyberArk service on the DR Vault machine handles the ongoing replication process from the primary Vault?

Answer: CyberArk Vault Disaster Recovery

The 'CyberArk Vault Disaster Recovery' Windows service runs on the DR Vault and continuously pulls replicated data from the primary Vault.
