Hello,
I am using sql server 2012 Standard Edition in a test environment. It is a clustered env with faster san. Whenever I perform a failover of sql server services it takes about 30seconds and when I failback it takes around 35 seconds. I am only hosting 2 databases and they are 2gb and 500MB in size. This is a VM with 6GB memory. I reserved 4 gb max setting to SQL and left 2GB to OS.
I implemented instant file initialization and also reduced the number of vlf's to see if that helps to reduce the failover or fail back time.
Can some one please tell me how can I bring this time to less than 10 sec.
Thanks a bunch
