    A.
    From ClusterXL admin guide:

    Creating Cluster Members
    Important – The hardware for all cluster members must be exactly the same, including:
    • CPU
    • Motherboard
    • Memory
    • Number and type of interfaces

    Also you can have MGMT+GW clustered with GW only as long as both GW’s have same blades enabled.

      Technically yes but admin guide says:

      Installation and Platform Support
      ClusterXL must be installed in a distributed configuration in which the Security Management Server and the Security Cluster members are on different computers. ClusterXL is part of the standard Security Gateway installation.

    I think, there is no fully correct answer here.

    Correct answer should be “No, SG of Member 1 has lower version then other. On Standalone configuration SMS and SG can not be installed on different versions. All SGs have different number and NICs types. Member 3 doesn’t have enough memory.”

    Converting a Standalone Deployment to ClusterXL.
    Before you can convert a Standalone Deployment to ClusterXL, you must first migrate the Security Gateway and the Security Management Server to two different computers. We recommend that you keep the existing Standalone Computer available until you complete and test the new ClusterXL environment.

    That means “D” is probably the right answer.

    It is possible to install a gateway on any of the Security Management servers. The role of these gateways is to protect the Security Management servers. Although the Security Management servers backup one another, High Availability is not implemented between the gateways installed on Security Management servers.
