I have a scenario with the three nodes with server 2012 standard, each running an instance of SQL Server 2012 enterprise, participate in asingle Windows Server Fail-over Cluster (WSFC) that spans two data centers.
If the nodes in the primary data center are unavailable due to data center outage. Then how I can able to access node in the WSFC (Windows Server Fail-over Cluster) in the secondary disaster recovery data center automatically with some script.
- I want to write script that can be able to check primary data center by pinging some IP after every 5 or 10 minutes.
- If that IP is unable to respond then script can be able to Perform Forced Manual Fail-over of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Fail-over Cluster)
Can you please guide me for script writing for automatic fail-over in case of primary data-center outage?
