Hello All,
I am testing SQL Server 2012 failover clustering on windows server 2008 r2 sp1. For my test I shut down my active node and just before shutting it down I issued a 'select * from table' query to sqlserver from SSMS. The failover was successful and was as expected but the query that was running lost connectivity to the engine reporting a transport error. I was not able to reconnect to sqlserver from the same query window of SSMS. To run this query again I had to open a new query window and issue the command.
Can someone tell me how the
'A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)'
can be prevented?
I have other tools like double take that can perform a failover with 0 downtime. Can I get this done with failover clustering? If so what shd be done?
Thanks for your answers in advance
