When considering Cisco Unified Communications Manager failover, how many backup servers can be configured in a Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group?
This question has the correct answer – 2. 3 is incorrect. 3 members in a group, yet only 2 are backup.

“A Cisco Unified Communications Manager Group specifies a prioritized list of up to three Cisco Unified Communications Managers. The first Cisco Unified Communications Manager in the list serves as the primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager for that group, and the other members of the group serve as secondary and tertiary (backup) Cisco Unified Communications Managers.”
Wrong!
3 is the right answer!
Think about the wording of the question… This is a classic Cisco trick question. You can have three servers in a CM group, but only TWO of them are “backup servers”. the first is the primary server. The correct Answer is 2, because the question is asking how many backup servers can you have in the group, not how many servers can you have in the group.
