I'm posting this here as I think this is more of a clustering question than Exchange issue.
Setup:
ServerA - 2012R2 with Exchange 2013 DAG Primary Active Mounted
ServerB - 2012R2 with Exchange 2013 DAG Passive Healthy
ServerC - 2012R2 File Share Witness
Name DynamicWeight NodeWeight Id State---- ------------- ---------- -- -----
ServerA 1 1 1 Up
ServerB 1 1 2 Up
If I shutdown ServerB gracefully (not running any of the Exchange maintenance scripts), the vote is never removed from ServerB. In cluster manager the votes never downgrade to zero, node goes offline but votes are not dynamically removed as I am expecting.
With Dynamic Quorum, I am expecting that if I shutdown ServerB gracefully it should remove its vote, secondly if I shutdown the fileshare witness, ServerA should not lose quorum and continue up.
Can someone let me know if I am missing something here, or if there is a specific process/command I have to issue when I shutdown ServerB, to cause it or make sure it looses it vote?
Thanks
Jason
