I want to create a 3 node cluster of SQL 2008 over windows 2008 R2 cluster.
If I use Majority Nodes with Disk as the quorum then:
1) Cluster will continue working after the failure of 1 Node.
2) Cluster will continue to work after the failure of disk-witness.
Question:
1) Will cluster continue to work if Disk-witness is online and 2 Nodes are down.
2) If NO, then How am I achieving the high-availability of SQL database even when I am having One node and one Disk-witness available. Because even if I have all 3 nodes available still the SQL database service will be served by only one node. The fail-over
cluster does not load balance the user load among the participating servers.
