Where should sx_api_ports_dump.py command be ran?
The sx_api_ports_dump.py command should be run on the Orchestrator, which is the device that manages the communication and the configuration of the Security Groups and the SGMs. The command shows the port mapping and the traffic distribution for each Security Group, as well as the backplane bonds and the Orchestrator ports. The command does not work on the Management server, the Security Group, or the SMO Appliance, as they do not have the same role and functionality as the Orchestrator.

Which command is used to set the number of sites in a Maestro environment?
This command is used to set the number of sites in a Maestro environment, which can be either one or two. The number of sites determines the site-sync configuration and the failover policies for the Security Groups and the Security Group Members. The default value is one, and it can be changed only before the first Security Group is created.

What is one benefit of a Dual MHO environment?
One of the benefits of a Dual MHO environment is that it can provide both scalability and redundancy to the Maestro system. Scalability means that the system can handle more traffic and SGMs as the demand grows, and redundancy means that the system can survive the failure of one or more components without losing functionality or performance. Dual MHOs can achieve these benefits by distributing the load and the management tasks among two orchestrators, and by providing backup and failover mechanisms for each other.
