Hello,I'm looking to setup a multi subnet cluster between two DC's using a MPLS which is very reliable. There will be 3 nodes in each DC. My question is related to the quorum settings that I should implement. In one DC to break the possible even quorum vote I've added a file share witness. The difference with this setup however is that if the MPLS goes down and quorum is lost between DC's I do not want the DC without the majority vote to go offline if and when it's separated from the DC with majority vote. This is not a DR site. We will have live traffic in the DC. I understand that with Always on the secondary replica will fall behind as it can't be updated but we would rather have this and have the DB's accessible. If we determine the MPLS will be down for an extended period of time we can then take corrective action by either moving traffic or removing the DB from always on etc.Essentially I'm asking how do I ensure split brain continues for a multi subnet failure?I've already increased the CrossSubnetThreshold and duration for the cluster to ensure the heartbeat across the WAN isn't as sensitive. This should presumably cover shorter outages but the question would be how to ensure the secondary site remains up.Thanks
