Hello everyone,
I am running two windows server 2012 R2 machines clustered with a disk witness. The disk witness is a LUN created on our SAN, presented to both machines. SAN is connected through two fiber channels per server both servers are networked on split out network connections teamed together. Now on a hard server fault or simulated power failure (i.e. pulling the power cords from a server) Disk witness will fail over to second node and Cluster survives. But, when simulating a Network card failure (disconnecting the cat5) from the Node hosting the Disk witness, I see the cluster attempt to offload hosting to UP node. But, the Disk witness will not come online. I think that the issue is because the server is technically still running and the disk Witness has not really failed on the primary host, so it never releases ownership. I am new to clustering and could use a little guidance here. Is there anyway to make the disk witness
Thank you
