Determine Active Node in SQL Failover Cluster

Does anyone know how to determine the active node of a SQL Active-Passive Failover Cluster programmatically from T-SQL?

@@SERVERNAME only returns the virtual server name, which is identical from both nodes.

I don't plan to make any decisions based on the data - I trust the failover to do its thing - but I would like to include the information in an event log so I can tell which node in the cluster was active when the event occurred, or help determine if exceptions come up as a result of a failover.

From stackoverflow
  • Select ServerProperty('ComputerNamePhysicalNetBIOS')

    David : Perfect - thank you!
