Communication Link Failures

  • Hello,

    I am receiving Communication link failures in SQL which are causing my backups to fail. This has been occurring off and on throughout the week. I have attached the SQL log below. Has anyone had this issue before? What could be causing this? I run a two-node cluster with 3 instances on each node.

  • Hello,

    Just from having a quick look at the error log, have you been getting failovers during the week? It would explain why the communication errors are there and why the backups have been failing?

    What has been happening with the cluster?
