Failover Failed

  • Hi,

    I am using following command for failover but this doesn't happen. My quorum is in High performance mode.

    ALTER DATABASE 'DBName' SET PARTNER FAILOVER

    -Lk

  • either use 'allow data loss' or if that is not acceptable switch to high safety mode, allow it to synchronise and then do alter database set partner failover

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Ok got it. in case this is sync (High availability) the there is no data loss and we can just issue ALTER DATABASE SET PARTNER FAILOVER.

    But there is ofcourse dataloss in async mode then we have to inform sql server about data loss.

    But one question... What about HIGH SAFETY (WITHOUT WITNESS). This is also sync. So according to me we can use ALTER DATABASE SET PARTNER FAILOVER. M I Correct?

    you are correct. which mode are you in normally?

  • I am in hi-safety.

  • then you should be able to use alter database set partner failover. What error did you get?

    It must be run from the principal and you must be in master when you run it.
