I've got a Microsoft 2012 R2 cluster setup in a 3-node HA configuration with a 1GB witness disk which has been assigned for the quorum. In the witness disk properties, I have confirmed that all three of my servers are possible owners but if the owner node of the witness goes offline, it does not automatically failover to another server. The cluster shared volumes automatically move to another online node just fine. I can manually move the core cluster resources that will move the witness disk's owner node to an online server fine. Is this normal with quorum disks, or was I supposed to setup the quorum differently? I just let the Microsoft wizard assign the 1GB disk automatically and it didn't report any errors when doing so.
Also, during the testing of failovers, I noticed that the iSCSI device details which are all set as per the instruction guides (as below) may change the active path to one of the standby links. When the server is brought back online, it doesn't revert back to the original settings. Is this also normal behavior? If so, should I be changing them back to the local path after the server is online again?
