If ClusterXL Load Sharing is enabled with state synchronization enabled, what will happen if one
member goes down?
A.
The processing of all connections handled by the faulty machine is immediately taken over by
the other member(s).
B.
The processing of all connections handled by the faulty machine is dropped, so all connections
need to be re-established through the other machine(s).
C.
There is no state synchronization on Load Sharing, only on High Availability.
D.
The connections are dropped as Load Sharing does not support High Availability.
A
The processing of all connections handled by the faulty machine is immediately taken
over by the other member(s).

It is important to understand that ClusterXL Load Sharing, when combined with State Synchronization, provides a full High Availability solution as well. When all cluster members are active, traffic is evenly distributed between the machines. In case of a failover event, caused by a problem in one of the members, the processing of all connections handled by the faulty machine is immediately taken over by the other members.
