have an availability group with two nodes with dynamic quorum. I want to simulate a split brain scenario. For this I have configured one inbound firewall rules per node. The rules each block the connection of the other node. I tested them by ping. The cluster manager detects network errors. However, nothing else happens. No node goes offline. Would anyone have a tip?

Many systems and services have availability groups, what software or service are you referring to?
