Hi.
I'm using WMI to check various properties of cluster ResourceGroups. (SELECT * FROM MSCluster_ResourceGroup)
I'm finding a Resource Group (of type SQL Server Availability Group) successfully diagnosises it as having a PersistentState of "False". It is my understanding that PersistentState specifies whether a resource group should be automatically brought online when the cluster forms. In previous editions of Windows Clustering, the SQL Availability Group had a PersistentState of "True," so this concerns me.
Yet, in the Failover Cluster Manager GUI, there is no ability to alter the PersistentState as with previous GUIs.
Does this mean?
- PersistentState deprecated in Windows Server 2012 Failover Clustering?
- This is by-design of a SQL Availability Group?
