The SMO is the name given to the cluster member with the highest priority in the SmartConsole Cluster object. The SMO distributes the policy to the other cluster members defined in the Cluster object.
B.
The SMO is a Security Gateway object in SmartConsole that defines the IP address and the security features deployed on the ElasticXL Cluster.
C.
The Single Management Object, SMO, is a special object reserved for Quantum Maestro solutions.
D.
The SMO is the only cluster member added to the cluster object and it defines the IP address for policy installation.
The correct answer isB. The SMO represents the ElasticXL Cluster as one managed Security Gateway object in SmartConsole. It defines the management identity and the security features/policy configuration deployed on the ElasticXL Cluster. Option A is wrong because SMO is not simply the highest-priority ClusterXL member in a traditional ClusterXL object. Option C is wrong because SMO is used in Scalable Platforms, including ElasticXL, not only Maestro. Option D is misleading because the SMO is not “the only cluster member added”; it is the single management object representing the whole ElasticXL Security Group/cluster. The official definition is that SMO manages the Security Group as one large Security Gateway with one management IP address.
