Mainly I have worked in places that run Oracle and not heavy Windows SQL shops. Currently, I work at a place that is Windows SQL dependent. Which means a few clusters that I haven't really needed to worry about.
Ran into an issue yesterday where the cluster name dropped, but the two nodes stayed up. Ran Cluster validation and brought the cluster back online.
Checking the event logs on the node that "owned?" the data. Box2 I saw the following
4:45:45PM - WinRM service successfully processed an address change notification
4:45:45PM - Critical 1135 Failover Clustering. Cluster node Box1 was removed from active failover cluster membership
4:45:50 - System detected address conflict for IP address 192.168.100.10 (this is IP of Cluster node.
I guess what I am looking for, does anyone have detailed information on what happens during a cluster fail.
Is the above normal?
