Patching runs DBCC checkdb

  • Hi Team,

    I have a cluster environment and I am going to apply the patches in the passive first, reboot passive and failover from the resources from the active to passive. When i do the failover, does SQL Server run DBCC Checkdb on the passive node before bringing the databases online?

    Thanks,

    Karthik R

  • IIRC, DBCC CHECKDB is not run automatically by SQL Server. If you need this run you need to do it manually or using a scheduled process.

  • The only time when CheckDB is run on a database is when a user, application or job explicitly runs CheckDB.
