   A FortiMail HA cluster is running in active-passive mode. The active unit's disk is full, causing it to stop processing mail. The heartbeat is still up, and the unit appears healthy in the HA status. What is the most likely outcome?

   • AThe passive unit will detect the disk full condition and take over automatically.
   • BThe cluster will not fail over because the disk full condition is not detected by the HA health check.
   • CThe cluster will automatically reboot the active unit to clear the disk.
   • DThe active unit will switch to active-active mode to distribute the load.

   A financial services firm runs FortiMail in active-active mode to handle high mail volume. They are subject to a regulation that requires all email transactions to be logged with a session ID that remains consistent even if a failover occurs. The administrator is evaluating whether active-active is appropriate. What is the primary concern?

   • AActive-active mode requires a dedicated hardware load balancer.
   • BIn-progress sessions may be lost during failover, breaking the session ID continuity required by the regulation.
   • CActive-active mode does not support virtual IP addresses.
   • DActive-active mode cannot log email transactions.
