AlwaysOn - Use Availability Group Listener Or Just Point To Cluster Name
May 6, 2014
I have MasterDataServices installed on a server and the database is in an AlwaysOn Availability Group.The MDM front end currently is set up incorrectly and is referencing NodeA (primary node) for its database.I want to fix this but im unsure if i should:
-point the MDM front end to the cluster name, so it wont matter what server the databsae is on?
-create an Availability Group Listner, which would also decoupple the database referenced from a particular server.

I have getting issues when i am creating listener for always On . Error shown as below
Can not bring the Windows server fail over cluster (WSFC) resources online. (Error Code 5942). The WSFC service may not be running or may not be accessible in its currents states, or the WSFC resources may not be in a state that could accept the request.

We are rolling out the use of Availability Group listeners to our SQL Server 2012 Environment which has a 2 node multi-subnet cluster. The Primary is R/W and the Secondary is a non-readable node that would be manually failed over to in a DR scenario
I have set up the AGL and asked the sysadmins to create a DNS record in both subnets with fixed IP's.
The issue I have having is that when I ask the app developers to connect to the databases using the AGL it is totally random whether the AGL resolves to the Primary or DR node - as a result that are having problems getting their apps to connect.
I was thinking of asking the sys admins to remove the DNS record in the DR subnet and then add it back in should we need to fail over - but I was thinking there must be a better way.

I ran into a Kerberos authentication issue because of a missing AOAG SPN. Some of the tickets that granted me access to the nodes of the AOAG cluster were using the encryption type that I would expect. However, the MSSQLSvc SPNs were not using what I would expect!
klist
#XX> Client Somebody@somedomain.com
Server: RPCSS/MySQLServer@somedomain.com
KerbTicket Encryption Type: AES-256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96
#XX> Client Somebody@somedomain.com
Server: MSSQLSvc/MySQLServer@somedomain.com
KerbTicket Encryption Type: RSADSI RC4-HMAC(NT)
#XX> Client Somebody@somedomain.com
Server: MSSQLSvc/MyAOAGListener@somedomain.com
KerbTicket Encryption Type: RSADSI RC4-HMAC(NT)
I can't seem to figure out what the next step should be, and the infrastructure admins are stumped as well. How to proceed?

When I fail an availability group between subnets, I am finding that the DNS entry in DNS is staying. So what happens is the Availablity Group listener has 2 records in DNS, one for each IP. This causes the App to timeout at times, since DNS will return either of the two IP's.

I have set up a couple of servers in a SQL 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group (non FCI). I have also configured a Listener which enables SQL clients to connect to the server currently servicing the database, as expected.
I would also like non SQL clients to be able to connect to the server currently hosting the database so that they can run scripts sitting in a share. I don't have a shared disk so just have a directory share on each server with the same scripts in each directory.
I am able to ping and RDP to the listener IP address/name and end up on the correct server but am unable to connect to the share ListenerNameShare. Is that actually supported? If it is, any thoughts on what I need to do to get it going. If it isn't what other options do I have?

In our(my company) current design we want to switch from failover clustering to Always On as high availibility solution.
I am currently testing the availiblity Group Listener function and have two questions regarding this.
First of all, is it possible to connect to a a listener by just using its "name" instead of "name,port", it is for our users very inconvenient to start using ports. If this is possible, where can I find information on how to configure this?
Second, is it possible to use the Availiblity Group Listener as loadbalancer or in combination with a loadbalancer to split the users over two or more nodes?*note we don't use azure.

I have a two node HA Always on group using a Listener. I would like to force a certain AD group to always be forced to the secondry node as they would only ever need to run select statements. If there an easy way to do this without using logon triggers?

I am setting up a new pair of SQL 2014 enterprise servers in HA using Availability Groups. One of the servers is located here in our local datacenter (10.0.1.x) and the other SQL server is in our remote datacenter(172.16.1.x). I was able to setup the Windows Failover Custer without much issue. I setup the AG but when I try to setup the listener. I get the following error. I have setup an IP for both networks on the listener. I have confirmed that there is not any DNS records created for AG listener name. But I still get this error.

I setup an availability Group. (Only 2 servers - Primary And secondary) -- 21 , 22
I also define an listener . IP .. 23
1- In First step I connected To Listener (23) And in a while I inserted A record to a table .
While 1=1
insert into Tbl_T1(f1,f2) Values (1,2)
2- in second, I Stop the primary .
- I expected this while whitout disconnect, continue.
3- The while code stopped whit this message :
Msg 64, Level 20, State 0, Line 0 A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
4- I execute again the script, And it worked in new primary.
My questions :
1- is the listener disconnected between switched primary and secondary ? OR have we data loss between switching?
2- I did some huge update on Primary that fill the Log fiel space. And in last Update I got this error :
Msg 9002, Level 17, State 2, Line 27
The transaction log for database 'Your_DB' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'.
Is this (Fill All space) a reason to switch primary? Or not ?

Environment: SQL Server 2014 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
We have our availability group configured and working. However, when we try to connect to the AG listener from a remote server, we have to use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to connect. We'd like to be able to connect just using the host name. Interestingly, ping actually resolves the IP correctly for either.

Is it possible to ONLY allow a login to the availability group listener, but block logins to server instance/nodes?
So: MySQLServerA and MySQLServerB are in an avail group "MyAvailGroup".
I want users to login to MyAvailGroup's listener, but I do NOT want them to login to the actual hosts/nodes directly.
Is that possible?

We are planning to upgrade our production servers from mirroring to alwayson. Our current mirror setup gives the advantage that it can failover a single database.To have a similar setup in alwayson we are probably going to create an availability group per database. Any other disadvantage in this except for the extra initial configuration work?

I came across an issue while migrating from SQL 2005 to SQL 2012 and using AlwaysOn Group. For some strange reason, when ever i connect to the Listener name for each AlwaysOn group, it list all the databases which is on the SQL instance, so i would be able to see databases that is not part of that Availability Group. I am not using default port, so have to put the port after the Name to connect and both Instance and Listener are using different port.
Testing the fail over works fine too, when i perform a manual failover, i can connect to any of the databases in the group from my application with no problem.
Considering that the Listener Port is different to the port which the instance is using?

What I asked for: Three Windows Server 2012 R2 machines with independent storage running a SQL Server 2014 AlwaysOn Availability Group. DB1 would be the primary, DB2 would be a synchronous replica, and DB3 would be a remote asynchronous replica.
What I was given: a two-node Windows Server 2012 R2 WSFC to run SQL Server 2014 Enterprise with shared storage and a third (remote) Windows Server 2012 R2 machine with independent storage, also with SQL Server 2014 Enterprise, to host an AlwaysOn Availability Groups asynchronous replica.
DB1 and DB2 (as Cluster1) share an E: drive. The remote DB3 has its own E: drive. Initially, DB3’s E: drive was claimed as a cluster resource and I couldn’t even see it. I’ve had several ugly days trying to make this work and have temporarily given up, installing DB3 as a standalone SQL Server that is no longer part of the WSFC and pointing everything towards that (it was originally a third node in the WSFC).
Is it possible to create an AlwaysOn Availability Group with nested clusters (i.e. create the AOAG with Cluster1 and DB3 and somehow ignore the individual nodes that comprise Cluster1)?

I have an active passive cluster on my primary Data center in NY and have a DR Active / passive SQL Cluster in TX. These are two separate clusters in the same domain using the same SQL server credentials.Both clusters host an active / passive SQL instance. Lets call it SQLNY(Primary) and SQLTX (DR). I want to enable always On Availability group within the two SQL Instances SQLNY and SQLTX. The listener will be SQLAG which will be used by the Application to connect to the SQL instance. Is there a practical way to implement this? This will not only give me instant fail over within the NY (Primary) but also give me the flexibility to fail over to TX. I am using SQL 2014 Enterprise Edition on both clusters.

I have a situation where I have two servers in SQL Server 2012 R2 AlwaysOn Availability Group. One is primary and the other one being secondary. I am only running SharePoint Database on it.I have run out of space on the primary server and about to run out of space at the secondary server. I have tried shrinking database transaction log files, but it returns an error that it cannot be shrunk as the database is in the AlwaysOn Availability Group.
Questions:
1. Several forums suggest that databases need to taken out of AlwaysOn Availability Group in order for the shrinking to work properply?
2. Would it have any impact on the database if it is taken out of availability group and then added back?

Setting up a test AlwaysOn Availability Group for one database.
However, whenever I restore the database to the replica server and join it, it ends up with my user account as the owner of the database.
Obviously I do not want a user account as the database owner, but since it is read-only I cannot modify it directly. If I were able to fail the AG over to the replica, I could change the owner then, but I cannot due to business requirements. this AG is to essentially serve as a replacement to log shipping.
I tried doing the backups and restores using EXECUTE AS login = 'sa', and yet it still shows up as my user account.

We have a requirement to build SQL environment which will give us local high availability and disaster recovery to second site. We have two sites- Site A & Site B. We are planning to have two nodes at Site A and 2 nodes at Site B. All four nodes will be part of same Windows failover cluster. We will build two SQL Cluster, InstanceA will be clustered between the nodes at Site A Server and InstanceB will be clustered between the nodes at Site B, we will enable Always On Between the InstanceA and InstanceB and will be primary owner where data will be written on InstanceA and will be replicated to InstaceB. URL....Now we want we will have instanceC on the Site B and data will be writen from the application available on Site B, will be replicated to the instance on the Site A as replica.

I'm just starting to work with AlwaysOn Availability and WSFC.
I have in my environment (in Azure) a DC, WSFC and to SQL instances, so I have 3 nodes in my Failover Cluster:
WSFC
SQL1
SQL2
If I simulate failure by shutting down one of the SQL boxes my Availability group seamlessly fails over to the other SQL instance - which is great.
However, I'm starting to look into the workings of the Quorum, my envt has the default settings and when I shutdown both of my SQL servers I expected the Cluster itself to go offline as 2 out of the 3 votes will be negative, but the Cluster is still up - Screenshot below when SQL1 and SQL2 are shutdown:
Going through the Wizard (but not changing anything) it shows following config:

I am trying to setup an AG on a cluster, I was able to define where I want my replica, but I need to setup the ip for the listener of that one
When I am adding the Ip at the listener I am getting the following message:
The Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) resource control API returned error code 5057. The WSFC service may not be running or may not be accessible in its current state, or the specified arguments are invalid. For information about this error code, see "System Error Codes" in the Windows Development documentation.
The attempt to create the network name and IP address for the listener failed. The WSFC service may not be running or may be inaccessible in its current state, or the values provided for the network name and IP address may be incorrect. Check the state of the WSFC cluster and validate the network name and IP address with the network administrator. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 41009)
Browsing around I found this guide: [URL] ......
And I make sure that the cluster has permissions to "Read all properties", "Create Computer Objects", even to "Create all child" permissions
I also added those permissions to the account that starts sql at that cluster and I am logged as that and I am still getting the error....

We are trying to build HA and DR environment, combining AG and FCI. So we have 3 servers added to a cluster, 2 of them sharing the same storage and working as ACTIVE-PASSIVE cluster instance. The other server has a stand alone instance with its local storage, with the same drivers letters as the cluster instance.
Between the Active FCI and the Stand Alone, we set up an Availability Group. They are running fine, except by the listener. When the stand alone instance owns the Primary Replica, I am able to access the SQL Server instance by the listener, but when the Primary Replica is owned by the FCI, I can't reach the database by the listener (name or IP).
I've opened the same ports in both servers, it hasn't worked though.

I think theres something I'm missing about AG listeners. My test config is 1 SharePoint WFE & 2 SQL servers configured in an AAG.WFE, SQL1 & SQL2 servers are all on the same subnet.On the WFE, I configured an alias called SP15 to be used for the SQL servers. If I failover from SQL1 to SQL2 I just need to change where the alias is pointing on the WFE. So why do I need a listener? This works fine, albeit manually.I have read on some posts that an automatic failover process is possible. How can I add a 2nd IP address to the listener when both SQL servers are on the same subnet? The GUI doesn't seem to allow this.

I am trying to build out an AlwaysOn AG with 2 nodes each in a different subnet (in AWS if that matters), windows 2012r2 / SQL 2014 RTM
I created a AG Listener with 2 ip address, 1 for each subnet (checked that neither ip address are used). But whenever i failover the AG to the secondary, and try and connect via the listener it fails,
I am trying to connect via SSMS from the primary instance. and just time out, If i roll over to the primary i can connect no issues, I've tried playing with the connection settings, upping the time out to 30 secs, adding the MultiSubnetFailover=true. etc but not getting any joy.
