Do we need to configure Local Disk Failover for Auxiliary databases when they are in a cluster


This is a basic question. We have a 3 node cluster configured and we are planning to get down the Bootstrap host for maintenance. We want the application to be up and running even when one of the node is down.

Do we need to configure Local disk failover for Security,Schemas,Modules and Triggers databases i.e having the replica of Forest on bootstrap host on other hosts?

Or they share the same Security and modules documents on all the servers.


Solution

  • When the node that hosts a forest is taken down, the content of that forest becomes unavailable. At that point, yes, you want to have local disk failover. It works the same for Security, Schemas, etc., as it does for content databases.
