SQL Server 2014 SP1 with a 2 member cluster. However, i don't believe the "cluster" part is working. Here's why: not long ago, i created a SQL DB with one of the cluster members. When that member does not work (for whatever reason), the program that the DB belongs to doesn't work! There are some other things that have been wrong that we have let ride but now, i am going to pitch destorying ALL the SQL clusters (some arent used and some are even misspelled) and maybe even killing the SQL installs and starting over from scratch! I know that is a BIG task and even saying it here reminds me of the existing DB's and what it would take to get those DB's along with their respective programs back up and running..... We have a McAfee ePO server with a DB on the "cluster", WSUS with a DB on the "cluster", SCOM 2012 R2 with 2 DB's on the "cluster"
This morning, that same member will NOT start any SQL service. Says it can't find the error.log which is reachable. When i try to open the error.log with notepad, it says it can't open because the error.log is used by some other program. I'm at the end with this "cluster". What would SQL experts do, fix the existing "cluster" or start from scratch?
