Verifying Server Node Failover
NOTE: When running the failover test, start with the least complex test. Do not run any
client activity while testing failover events.
Follow these steps to verify failover of a server node:
1. From the desktop on both nodes, select Start, Programs, Administrative
Tools (Common), then Cluster Administrator.
2. When prompted for the cluster or server name, enter the name or
IP address of one of the clustered virtual servers.
3. Make sure all predefined resources and groups are online. Verify that
some of the resources and groups are owned by the server node being
powered down so that a failure event will result in a failover of
resources and groups.
4. Power down one of the server nodes.
5. Within several seconds, Cluster Administrator running on the surviving
node will bring online all of the predefined resources and groups that
were previously owned by the powered-down server node.
NOTE: This screen may not update automatically. If, after a minute, the powered-down
server node’s resources and groups do not come online, refresh the screen by
pressing F5.
NOTE: If the powered-down server node’s resources and groups do not come online after
refreshing the screen, refer to the operating system documentation for troubleshooting
information.
