Default Notification of Failover - 09-15-2004 , 12:43 PM






I am running a multiple instance cluster. Each server has
8 CPUs with 16GB ram. I have a database on each server
active where if one node fails, they failover to each
other.

Any documentation or information for instant notification
when there is a failover? Notification by email etc.

Thanks

You can create a startup stored procedure that sends an email whenever an
instance starts up. That is probably as close as you can come without an
external monitoring system.

My other suggestion is to put a task as part of the resource group and use
something like blat.

(this avoids reliance on SQL Mail.)
