Which grid member is responsible for mgmt and the database?

• A. Grid Slave
• B. Grid Master
• C. Grid Proxy
• D. Grid Node

Answer: (B)

In an Infoblox Grid, the Grid Master is the central management point and the owner of the grid database. It holds the authoritative copy of all configuration, IPAM data, DNS/DHCP settings, and policies. When administrators make changes, the Grid Master processes and enforces them, then propagates updates to the other grid members to keep the entire grid synchronized. The Grid Slave maintains a copy of the database for redundancy and load sharing but does not govern the grid itself. Grid Nodes run DDI services, and Grid Proxies handle client requests without holding the full grid configuration. So, the Grid Master is the one responsible for management and the database.
