Hello all,
This is a bit tricky so wonder if anyone can help me out to understand better.
We need to find the best Quorum setting for following configuration:
1 AG on 2 FCIs in 2 Datacenters and one Standalone SQL instance in one of the Datacenter
According to MS (https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/hh270280#RecommendedAdjustmentstoQuorumVoting), the recommended setting is "Do not give votes
to nodes in Secondary site". So, we just gave votes to all nodes in Primary site (two nodes) and to a Standalone SQL instance, which is a Node Majority mode. However, we can't failover AG to this Secondary site
with this configuration and got the error: "The current WSFC
cluster quorum vote configuration is not recommended for this availability
group" and it points to the same MS site showing above.
Can someone help me about this? This really confuses me.
Thanks much in advance!!
