Hello,
when i purposely cuase a failure of the public nics, why doesnt my node1
failover over to node2? is this by design or is there something i can set in
cluster administrator to do this?
thank you

Hi
Did you unplug the cable or did you disable the adaptor?
For a failover, the private and public NIC need to be lost.
If a failover were to be initiated by a NIC failure, there might be
scenarios where you loose communications for a few seconds, and it starts to
ping-pong the servers.
You may want to look at redundant NIC's if this is an issue for you.
