Alright so I was passed a few duties when our IT Director left and apparently my first time doing so did not go so smoothly.....
We have two MS SQL 2008 R2 Servers, they are clustered from my understanding (I am not a SQL Guru sorry) and need to be restarted one than the other. When I set this up last night I had them staggered 10 minutes apart. (1 than 2)
This went fine with the exception that it went backwards, it dropped server 2 than server 1 a few minutes later... Now server 2 seems fine no issues but server 1 has no cluster anymore apparently.
Is this a matter of restarting the service? Before I go poking around I was hoping for a little guidance. Everything seems fine on server 2 for now but I would like to get server 1 back up ASAP.
Also is there any worry about doing this while things are running normally throughout the day or...
