I have build a 2-node Multi_Instance SQL Failover Cluster (Physical Machines) in a lab environment. When I test the node in any manner (i.e. Pause Node/Drain Roles, Stop SQL Instance, etc.) all the storage moves to the Active Node, the DTC Moves, as well as the Quorum Disk. However, I expect to see on the Active Node, in SQL Management Studio, 2 instances of SQL, and I am not seeing that. If I fail Node A, as I said I can see in Failover Cluster Manager, Node B taking ownership of everything. However, in Node A, in SSMS the SQL instance just freezes up. IN SSMS on Node B, it stays the same.
Why isn't the failed SQL Instance moving to the Active Node?? Have I configured something wrong somewhere?? I've validated the cluster and have no errors on it.
