We are setting up a CCR environment with an Active node in one data center and a Passive node in another. The FSW is in the same data center as the Active node. My question is this: If the network between the two sites goes down will the passive node try to assume control since it can no longer talk to the cluster?

So, the passive node will remain offline then? That is what we want to happen, otherwise this would present some real issues for us.
