Initialize clusters, enable primary replication, generate token, enable secondary, promote if needed.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Step 1: Initialize clusters, Step 2: Enable primary replication, Step 3: Generate secondary activation token, Step 4: Enable secondary replication, Step 5: Promote secondary to primary if needed
Why this is correct
This is correct because you must first initialize the clusters, then enable primary replication to generate a token, use that token to enable secondary replication, and finally promote the secondary if a disaster occurs.
- ✗
Step 1: Generate secondary activation token, Step 2: Enable primary replication, Step 3: Enable secondary replication, Step 4: Initialize clusters, Step 5: Promote secondary to primary if needed
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the token cannot be generated before primary replication is enabled, and clusters must be initialized before any replication steps.
- ✗
Step 1: Enable primary replication, Step 2: Enable secondary replication, Step 3: Initialize clusters, Step 4: Generate secondary activation token, Step 5: Promote secondary to primary if needed
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because enabling secondary replication before having the token is not possible, and clusters must be initialized before replication can be enabled.
- ✗
Step 1: Enable secondary replication, Step 2: Enable primary replication, Step 3: Initialize clusters, Step 4: Generate secondary activation token, Step 5: Promote secondary to primary if needed
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot enable secondary replication before primary replication is set up, and initializing clusters must happen before any replication steps.
