Hello
We have a 2 node cluster with an active passive configuration - running server 2008 r2 / SQL 2008
We had an issue today where one of the nodes was paused; and the active node had an issue with the cluster services, which ended up taking the resources offline (as you would expect)
I fixed the issue via resuming the paused node; failing over the resources and restarting the cluster services - and bringing the resources back online
Im trying to find out the 'why' behind the inactive node being left paused, as such i want to know if there are any events logged when a node is paused (i.e. a security event)
I did a test scenario on the server, I paused the node but nothing is logged in any of the usual event places. Does the inactive node have to be left paused for a certian period of time before the cluster events / cluster operations log start logging things?
Any help would be appreciated
