Thanks! Harish and Sarosh…
Sarosh, the file is created and it appeared for a while before doing
failover. There are some writes too. Is it possible, the transaction may not
be committed by the time write happen? Is there any timelines/limit to
commit the transaction? if this happen whether user is notified about the
missing file. I don’t see any eventlog message in the application and system
event log related to this.

Thanks,

Best Regards,
Suresh

This question is in reply to saroshh answer
Is it possible that transaction logs are not committed before failover. It
means that data is not consistent across failover. This failover is a manual
failover through cluster admin not a result of crash i guess Please correct
if I am wrong

Yes Rohit, it is a manual failover from Cluster Admin…
