Hi All I have some questions on clustering . Here is the setting
1. SQL server 2016, windows server 2016
2. 4 nodes clusters + fileshare witness
3. Siteareness is enabled , and preferred site configured to node 1 and node 2, node 3 and node 4 are secondary site
The questions
1. will there be impact on the preferred node order when configured siteareness ?
2. and also node ID impact on the node voting ?
3. For the behavior or dynamic voting, I did a test: If I reboot any node on secondary site (for example node 4), active node on node 1, I checked the dynamic voting of node 4 become zero, and another node in primary site also become 0. So the question is, HOW cluster choosing WHICH node in a site to lower down it's dynamic voting ??
4. cross-site network failure question, what's the outcome of the following
- Crosssite link down, FSW on backup site, and sql instance owned currently at preferred site
- Crosssite link down, FSW on preferred site , and sql instance owned currently at preferred site
- Crosssite link down, FSW on backup site, and sql instance owned currently at backup site
- Crosssite link down, FSW on preferred site , and sql instance owned currently at backup site
