Hi
i think this question maybe related to cluster
When i run SQL Server Management Studio from one node, i connect the sql server by using sql server authentication, and the connection is success and i can see there's a green colour inside circle next to the sql server name. sort of play button.

When i run another SQL server management studio from 2nd node, i can see the symbol representing the sql server name is in white colour in circle....

what does that mean???

Just ignore it. You shouldn't be running the client tools from the database servers anyway for performance reasons. Always run the client tools from a client machine.

And use Cluster Administrator to verify the status of the cluster resources rather than a symbol in SSMS.
