How to connect the question back to the wider exam objective.

Watch out for

Common Deployment Architecture And Clustering exam traps

▸Answering from memory before reading the full scenario.
▸Missing a constraint such as cost, availability, security, scope or command context.
▸Choosing a broad answer when the question asks for the most specific fix.
▸Ignoring why the wrong options are tempting.

In an Indexer Cluster, you want to perform a rolling restart to update the configuration. Which CLI command ensures that the rolling restart happens only after the indexer cluster has reached a state of 'Complete' synchronization?

Trap 1: splunk apply cluster-bundle --force

This forces an update but does not manage the rolling restart process.

Trap 2: splunk rolling-restart cluster-peers --check-status

This is not a valid flag for the rolling-restart command.

Trap 3: splunk restart indexer

This restarts a single node, not the cluster.

A
splunk apply cluster-bundle --force
Why wrong: This forces an update but does not manage the rolling restart process.
B
splunk rolling-restart cluster-peers
This is the correct command; the CM orchestrates the restart once peers are ready.
C
splunk rolling-restart cluster-peers --check-status
Why wrong: This is not a valid flag for the rolling-restart command.
D
splunk restart indexer
Why wrong: This restarts a single node, not the cluster.

A customer needs to decommission a single indexer peer from an Indexer Cluster without losing data. Which step is mandatory to ensure all data is safely migrated to other peers?

You notice that your indexer cluster has buckets in a 'Searchable' state but some are marked as 'Streaming'. What does this indicate?

What is the primary function of the 'search_factor' in an indexer cluster?

A new indexer is added to a cluster. How does the cluster handle the historical data that already exists on other indexers?
