I have a 3 node cluster configuration with two instances. I believe this is refered to as an N+1 cluster. The instances are installed on all three nodes with Node A running instance 1 and Node B running instance 2, Node C is a just around for a failover. Since any one node can run both instances, what is the proper quorum setting. The MS preferred is node majority so two instances must be up. I don't want that, the point of this environment is that we could take a node out for maintenance and if we had a failure during that time that one of the other two nodes could still function solo. With node majority we would be down.
Any help is appreciated.
Windows Server 2008R2, SQL Server 2008R2.
