Quorum connectivity lost on SQL 2012

  • Hello all,

    I have a cluster using Always on on 2012 and i have set up a Witness file share which losts connectivity the other day and a failover was invoked.

    Is there a threshold i can change so that the cluster can try a couple of more times to connect before it fails over ?

    Thank you in advance

  • Hope this gives an idea.

  • Whilst the link provided is good, you likely have a network issue here. Are the SQL server and file share witness machines on separate network portions?

    Try implementing a file share witness on a server which is "local" to the SQL Server. Thoroughly test the network connectivity\latency between the original witness server and the SQL Server

  • thank you for the recommendations guys,

    We have the witness on a NAS separate from the cluster.
