Exercise 3: Configure tempdb to Use Local Storage
Task 1: Change the Storage Location for tempdb
1. In the C:\ folder, create a new folder named tempdb.
2. Start SQL Server Management Studio, and then click New Query.
3. In the SQLQuery1.sql window, type the following Transact-SQL statements, and then
click Execute:
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE

(NAME=tempdev, FILENAME='C:\tempdb\tempdb.mdf');
GO
ALTER DATABASE tempdb MODIFY FILE
(NAME=templog, FILENAME='C:\tempdb\templog.ldf');
GO
4. In the Results pane, review the messages and note that the folder must exist on every
node in the cluster, as well as the permissions requirements.
5. Close the SQLQuery1.sql window, and do not save any changes. Minimize SQL Server
Management Studio.
6. On the MIA-CLUST2 and MIA-CLUST3 virtual machines, repeat step 1.
Task 2: Review tempdb Configuration
1. On the MIA-CLUST2 virtual machine, on the taskbar, click File Explorer, browse to
C:\tempdb, and note that the folder is empty. This is because the service must restart for
SQL Server to move the tempdb files.
2. On the MIA-CLUST1 virtual machine, on the taskbar, click Failover Cluster Manager,
under MIA- CLUSTER.adventureworks.msft, click Roles, and then in the Roles (1)
window, click SQL Server (SQL1).
3. In the Actions pane, under SQL Server (SQL1), click Move, click Select Node, in the
Move Clustered Role dialog box, click MIA-CLUST2, and then click OK.
4. Wait for the move to complete, and then minimize Failover Cluster Manager.
5. On the MIA-CLUST2 virtual machine in File Explorer, in C:\tempdb, note that the
folder now contains the tempdb database files. This is because moving the role to the
MIA-CLUST2 node forced the recreation of the tempdb database on that node.

Changed the storage location for the tempdb database files.
Reviewed the new tempdb configuration.
Exercise 4: Test Automatic Failover and Failback
Task 1: Trigger and Test automatic Failover
1. On the MIA-CLUST1 virtual machine, in the D:\Labfiles\Lab10\Starter folder, right-

click the CreateTestDatabase.cmd file, and then click Run as administrator.
2. In the User Account Control dialog box, click Yes, wait for the script to finish.
3. Start SQL Server Management Studio, and in Object Explorer, expand Databases,
expand HumanResources, expand Tables, right-click dbo.Employee, and then click
Select Top 1000 Rows.
4. Check that the query returns the rows without any errors.
5. On the host computer, in Hyper-V Manager, right-click 20465C-MIA-FCI-CLUST2,

and click Turn Off. Then if the Turn Off Machine dialog box is displayed, click Turn
Off. This action simulates failure of the node that is the owner of the SQL Server
(SQL1) role.
6. On the MIA-CLUST1 virtual machine, on the taskbar, click Failover Cluster Manager,
click Roles, and then watch the SQL Server (SQL1) role fail over from the MIA-
CLUST2 node to either the MIA-CLUST3 node or the MIA-CLUST1 node.
7. When failover has finished, in the lower part of the window, click the Resources tab,
and review the available resources, checking that they all report a status of Online.
8.
In SQL Server Management Studio, in the query window, highlight the Transact-SQL
statement that returns the top 1000 rows from the dbo.Employees table, and then click
Execute. If the server reports a transport error, click Execute again.
9. Verify that the query returns the employee data.
Task 2: Configure and Test Automatic Failback
1. On the taskbar, click Failover Cluster Manager, right-click the SQL Server (SQL1)
role, and then click Properties.
2. In the SQL Server (SQL1) Properties dialog box, on the General tab, in the Preferred
Owners box, click the MIA-CLUST2 check box, click the Failover tab, click Allow
Failback radio button, ensure that the Immediately radio button is selected, and then
click OK.
3. On the host computer, in Hyper-V Manager, right-click 20465C-MIA-FCI-CLUST2,

and then click Start.
4. On the MIA-CLUST1 virtual machine, in Failover Cluster Manager, click Roles, and
then wait for the SQL Server (SQL1) role to failback to the MIA-CLUST2 role.
5. Close Failover Cluster Manager, and then close SQL Server Management Studio. Do not
save any changes if prompted to do so.
6. On the host machine, in Hyper-V Manager, right-click 20465C-MIA-FCI-CLUST1,

and then click Shut Down.
7. Repeat step 6 to shut down the following virtual machines:
o 20465C-MIA-FCI-CLUST2
o 20465C-MIA-FCI-CLUST3

Tested automatic failover.
Configured automatic failback settings and tested failback.
