Hi, we are looking into 'Allow failback' option in sql cluster as we would like sql to run on its preferred owner after patching is done. Patching is done by a different team and they don't put sql back to its original node most of the times - they have some issue currently. I would rather not touch the cluster but we are looking into the option of failback anyhow.
Prevent failback is our current default - which works well.
I wanted to know what are the disadvantages of using 'Allow Failback- Immediately' option in sql cluster, Thanks.
One scenario that i can think of is during a actual issue on the current node, sql fails over to the other good node, but then tries to fallback to the 1st bad node, which fails it to 2nd good node - How long does this cycle runs for and does SQL ends up in a failed state?
