Hi,
I have made a lot of tests last 3 weeks and my conclusion is : File share witness is the best option.
And this is why :
I have 2 nodes clusters running on physical blades in 2 different chassis.
- Node 1 owns witness disk and one role (sql)
- I remove network cable from chassis where node 1 is running.
- Node 1 never release disk reservation on witness disk and cluster service is stopping on node 2.
When i would like Node 2 become the only surviving node ....
Same test but using file share witness....
As node 1 is losing connectivity to file share witness, node 2 can take ownership and become the surviving node with my role running.
I am surprised to not see others people with same conclusion. Am i wrong somewhere ?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
