How many physical nodes? As long as all your nodes are online and the FSW isn’t casting a vote, you should be able to remove the duplicate FSWs. That being said, switching to Node Majority (if all nodes are online), deleting all the FSWs, switching back to FSW in the new location is also easy.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Leone Sent: Thursday, February 1, 2018 9:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Problems with changing File Share Witness So I have 3 different clusters, all of which use the same File Share Witness (different shares, but all on the same server). And that FSW server is going away ... So I set up a new share on a different server, and went to change one of the clusters to use it. I was able to add the new share (i seem to have done it twice, stupidly). So now I see *3* file share witness entries: 1. old FSW - shows ONLINE 2. new FSW - shows ONLINE 3. new FSW - shows ONLINE (this is the same share as in #2). I want to remove #1 completely, regardless (and also #3, which is redundant). And searches tell me that in order to remove a FAILED FSW, you have to change back to NODE MAJORITY. Then switch back to FSW, specifying the new location. Does that still apply in my case, where I just want to remove a FSW that is *not* FAILED? Or can I just REMOVE that entry? I haven't found anything that says what to do in this case.
