What is the first step in the failover procedure when promoting a DR secondary to primary?

Ensure the primary cluster is completely unavailable or intentionally demoted

Run vault operator dr promote on the primary cluster

Unseal the secondary with the primary's unseal keys

Generate a new activation token on the secondary

How does DR replication relate to performance replication in Vault Enterprise?

DR replication and performance replication are mutually exclusive

DR replication replaces performance replication in all multi-cluster setups

DR replication can be used alongside performance replication, but they serve different purposes

DR replication is required before performance replication can be enabled

A Vault operator is monitoring a DR secondary and notices that `last_remote_wal` is significantly behind `last_wal` on the primary. The secondary is in `stream-wal` state. What does this indicate?

The secondary has failed and needs to be re-initialized.

The secondary is in `shutdown` state and needs to be unsealed.

The secondary is catching up and will eventually synchronize if the primary remains available.

The primary has been demoted and the secondary is now the primary.

In a planned failover, what should be done with the original primary cluster after promoting the DR secondary?

It can be repurposed as a new DR secondary

It should be converted to a performance secondary

It should be left running as a primary

It must be destroyed immediately
