What designates the Primary and Secondary CMM in a chassis?

• A. Both CMMs operate as equals with workload sharing
• B. The higher-numbered CMM is primary by default
• C. One CMM is designated as Primary and the other as Secondary
• D. CMM roles are assigned dynamically at runtime

Answer: (C)

One CMM is assigned as the primary control point while the other serves as a secondary backup. This setup gives a clear authority for managing the chassis while maintaining a ready failover option. The primary handles normal operations and configuration tasks, and the secondary mirrors or monitors state so it can take over quickly if the primary fails or becomes unavailable. It’s about having a defined, reliable leadership role rather than equal duty sharing or dynamics based on a number or runtime decisions.
