    The behavior you are describing is a successful drain operation. When the drain action is started for the cluster all resources are moved to a different node. This results in a restart of the SQL Engine on another node. Probably, there will also be a second restart for the fallback-operation after maintenance has finished.

    Thanks for the reply 🙂

    So then, how can you tell the difference between when the drain operation is working, and when it's not? Are there attributes in the SQL Server error log I can look for, or should I be looking in the Windows event log, or perhaps there's a Windows Cluster Services log I could look into? I am a reticent to move to a new policy of allowing a restart of cluster nodes earlier in the day, if I can't verify that it's working.

    Thanks,
