Pre requisites :
1. Database Mail should be configured
2. Need to have a valid SMTP server to send the mail
Steps as below.
1. Configure the Database Mail
Refer Below Link
2. Create a Procedure
3. Create Table
3. Create a Job
Step 1. Execute procedure to update the Table
Step 2. EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_send_dbmail.
Concept :
One should get an alert email, whenever SQL Cluster fail over to other Node.
I have created a Table and hard coded the existing Instance Name and Active Cluster Node information in a table. There is an additional column with value as 1 for all the Active node instance and rest with value zero. So, whenever fail over happens Zero value for the respective Active node will get value as 1 and existing 1 as zero. While sending a mail, all active node instances will be selected.
Table is created on a centralized Server. All other servers will update data on the same.
