Hi,
We are running Sql Server 2008 R2 as a 2 node cluster in Windows 2008 R2
server. In the Sql Server Configuration manager we find that service of
the Sql Server(database engine) as got a start mode as manual being
an instance in the 2 node cluster. When the node in which the service is
running fails the the Sql Server service gets started in the other node. However
we find that the Sql Server Agent service(whose start mode is also in manual)
does not get started automatically in the other node along with the Sql Server
service.Why does the cluster service do not start Sql Server agent service as well.
Should we make the Sql Server agent service start mode to be automatic
instead of being manual as it is now? Thanking you in advance
