  • D All three MID Server will be used during the Identification phase and only one will be used during the exploration phase.
Explanation

Shazzam cluster support is the setting that distributes Shazzam (port-scan) processing among multiple MID Servers in a cluster. When it is disabled, a single MID Server performs the port scan, while the load-balanced cluster can use all three MID Servers for classification work.

QuestionQ4

Customer Service Management Portal, Knowledge Management, Service Catalog, Communities and Performance Analytics

Given the CMDB class hierarchy shown, which Configuration Item (CI) types are included in a report run on the Server [cmdb_ci_server] table?

Question Image

  • A CIs defined directly in Server [cmdb_ci_server] table and all parent classes
  • B CIs defined directly in Server [cmdb_ci_server] table and all child classes
  • C CIs defined directly in the Server [cmdb_ci_server] table
Explanation

A report on an extended parent table includes records defined directly on that table and records from its child tables. Therefore, Server records and descendant server-class records, including Windows Server, Linux Server, and UNIX Server, are included; records from ancestor classes are not.

QuestionQ5

Customer Service Management Integration

In Service Mapping, which of the following is true when a target host has already been discovered and is in the CMDB?

  • A The host will be deleted in the CMDB and a new host record will be created during Service Mapping discovery.
  • B The host will be immediately rediscovered, but only the changes will be updated in the CMDB during Service Mapping discovery.
  • C The host will be immediately rediscovered and updated in the CMDB during Service Mapping discovery.
  • D The host will not be rediscovered during Service Mapping discovery.
Explanation

Service Mapping verifies whether the hosting device already exists in the CMDB and triggers Discovery to identify and add the host only if it does not exist. An existing discovered host is therefore not rediscovered as part of this process.
