    what happens to replication in case sql server fails over to another node? does it break? or does it get moved to the other node as well?



    thanks

    When the Active node fails during a data replication process - data replication is not completed and Failover cannot be activated. Then, you must manually reset the second node to either remain as the passive node or switch it to be the active node.

    are you saying that by using replication I am deactivating my failover capibility?

    I don't think there will be any issue when it fail over to other node because replication is cluster aware...

    I am using replication on cluster servers since long time and I never had any issue that the data replication prevented failsover to other node.

    I don't think cluster failover prevented by data replication...Cluster failover is managed by the cluster service... When MSC gets three continuous connection failure responses it will force sql to restart or failover to other node depends on the error.
