Which of the following statements is true, as it pertains to search head clustering (SHC)?
Which of the following statements is true, as it pertains to search head clustering (SHC)?
SHC is supported on AIX, Linux, and Windows operating systems. This statement is true, as search head clustering is available on all operating systems supported for Splunk Enterprise, which includes these platforms.
C is the answer: A is incorrect as AIX is not supported B as SHC limit is 50 D minimum is not 5 you can have less
AIX is actually supported. The documentation states that any OS supported by Splunk Enterprise works for Clustering. Quote: "Search head clustering is available on all operating systems supported for Splunk Enterprise."
C is NOT correct, because there is no such requirement. Splunk only recommends that all instances are running the same hardware specs, but does not require it. Quote: "Splunk recommends that you use homogeneous machines with identical hardware specifications for all cluster members."
All members in a search head cluster must be the same hardware specs
They "MUST" run the same OS and Splunk version, but not hardware specs... It's only "recommended" by Splunk, but not required.
C looks correct
Answer "C" is NOT correct, because there is no such requirement. All members must run the same OS and Splunk version, but not Hardware specs... The documentation states: "Splunk recommends that you use homogeneous machines with identical hardware specifications for all cluster members." Recommends is not the same as Requires... A is the correct answer.
B is wrong the max number in a SHC is 50 https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Is-there-a-limit-to-how-many-Search-Heads-can-be-part-of-a/m-p/262146
Minimum number of nodes for a SHC is 50 NOT 5.
C is the correct
Answer "C" is NOT correct, because there is no such requirement. All members must run the same OS and Splunk version, but not Hardware specs... The documentation states: "Splunk recommends that you use homogeneous machines with identical hardware specifications for all cluster members." Recommends is not the same as Requires... A is the correct answer.
The correct answer is A! AIX is supported. As mentioned in the documentation: "Search head clustering is available on all operating systems supported for Splunk Enterprise." Answer "C" is NOT correct, because there is no such requirement. All members must run the same OS and Splunk version, but not Hardware specs... The documentation states: "Splunk recommends that you use homogeneous machines with identical hardware specifications for all cluster members." Recommends is not the same as Requires...
