SQL high available failover:

Description: Most of the administrators think that the failover should do in SQL HA by the Windows Cluster, but it’s not true. we need to do the failover by the HA method which is configured in SQL.
In this article I am providing the steps to do the failover.

Steps: Please follow the steps below to do failover in HA.

As per below screen ,Secondary Don’t have any resources so patch first in secondary.

Do patch in other secondary now.

Failover steps:
