Hello,
i'm facing issues with my failover cluster.
I've installed a SQL Server Failover Cluster with Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2016 SP2 Enterprise.
16 of 18 instances have no issues when it comes to a failover event.
On the other two instances i have some (not all) databases which are going into the "recovery pending" state.
This happens every time when we're installing Windows Updates (automatically every first sunday a month) and the failover mechanism move the instances from one to the other node.
The SQL Server logs are clear - there are no entries, which could show an error.
I can set the databases online simply by executing the statemant "alter database xxx set online".
Has someone experienced such an issue?
Thanks for your feedback.
