Hi All,
We have 2 node active/passive environment (windows 2003) and 1 clustered SQL instance running. Currently all SQL resources are owned by node 1 and SQL server is running in node 1. There is a requirement now to reboot SQl Server.
1) If i restart SQL Server service in SQl Server configuration manager, SQl server will come up in node 2?
2) If the above is true, how can i restart the SQL server without the SQL resource getting failed over to the passive node2
i.e) SQl server is running in node1 and after restart it should come up in same node1. How can i achieve that?
Thanks
