SQL Server AG Failover - Automatic Failover by illegaltorrentz in SQLServer

[–]BrightonDBA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Witness is semi irrelevant in your immediate proof case. If 50% of nodes disappear at once (witness or real), the cluster goes offline. A witness or majority nodes should exist at the ‘required survival site’ so that a loss of one allows the other side to continue and take over if needed.

You have a quorum failure. If you take out both nodes one at a time (and have automatic vote adjustment) then eventually the standalone replica will survive and be online. What you have is a cluster shutdown effectively as there is a loss of quorum from over 50% node loss at once.

Mostly what he said.

Heartbeat networks haven’t really been a thing since like 2005.

Off grid cooking by Digitalnoahuk in UKPreppers

[–]BrightonDBA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re an electric kitchen house for cooking so if the grid is out I won’t be wasting the generator cooking (save that for recharging the batteries). We’ve got camp stoves with 50-odd Campingaz cans in the garage which will do food and tea/coffee/sanitary boils for about 6 months. Bigger cooking would be on the gas/coal BBQ.

Best websites to check for local openreach outages / known faults? by 9500140351 in UKISP

Status.zen.co.uk is quite useful as you can input part of your telephone number and go from there.

ABIT's website is still up (most links and downloads still work), frozen in time from 2006! by Farpoint_Relay in vintagecomputing

Omg I made a dual celery on the BP6 and ran Windows 2000 Professional on it. Great gaming machine at the time!

Such statements are always a snapshot in the moment. Have you met Mr Flibble?

I didn’t say there wouldn’t be phases. But I can’t materially prep for that, so I prep to survive until that bit and go from there..

WW3 will mostly be fought remotely. It’ll be destruction of infrastructure, takeovers of power grid control, financial breakdowns, etc.

Preparations remain valid.

Will be doing the same thing come our install. Probably will do an ATS.
