Hi,
I have 3 synchronous AlwaysON replicas: A, B and C. A is primary, B and C are secondary and both are set to Automatic recovery. How can I understand, which of them (B or C) will become primary when A goes offline?
Well, Actually my final DB system should support following configuration:
1) Normally - A is primary B and C are sync secondary.
2) if A fails, B automatically becomes primary, C remains Sync secondary.
3) if A goes online, it becomes primary again
4) C becomes primary only after A and B fail (and there still should be cluster quorum!)
As i understood, first of all i should configure quorum the following way: A-0, B-1, C-1, folder-witness-1.
The problem, again, is: I cannot understand how to configure which replica becomes primary when AG fails over.
Thanks in advance!
