    Hi All,

    I got one interview question, if I am using more than two node cluster, Is this possible to restrict any node to failover to any particular node ? E.G. I do not want node1 to failover node2, I want if anytime failover happens it should be node1 to node3. If it is possible then how ?

    Thanks in advance

    Yes, that is possible in one of two ways, you could not install that instance on Node 2 at all or you can go into the resource group for that instance, right click on the SQL Server and go to the tab labeled Advanced Properties, then uncheck Node 2 as a possible node. I would also not have Node 2 checked on the preferred node list but that isn't a preventer of it trying. By unchecking it as a possible node it won't run there.

    Yes, you can do it by selecting from the Possible Owners list. You can do this from Cluster Admin.

    be aware that preferred owner is set at the group level, possible owner is set at each resource level
