DB Engine :: Remote Server To Run JOBS On AlwaysOn Availability Groups
Sep 14, 2015
I am planning to have AlwaysON Availability Groups setup between Server 1 and Server 2
Server 1 -->Publisher-->2014 SQL Enterprise edition-->Windows Std 2012 --> Always on Primary Replica
Server 2 -->Publisher(when DR happens)-->2014 SQL Enterprise edition-->Windows Std 2012 --> Secondary Primary
Server 4 as Subscriber
Server X as Remote Distributor ..
as of now , In the event of Disaster happens on Node 1 i will have to manage JOBS on Node 2 (backups, Maintenance, replication, day-day other Jobs)..Is there a way i can call all jobs to run from a remote server which executes on Active NODE(which ever is active)? so that in the event of disaster happens on node1, when node 2 becomes online and i don't have to do anything with SQL Agent or jobs on Node 2?

Server 4 -->Subscriber-->2012 SQL Standard edition-->Windows Std 2012 --> NOT involved in Always ON
Server 5(VM)-->Distributor-->2012 Standard edition-->Windows Std 2012-->not involved in Always ON
i know Publisher and subscribers can be mix match of 2014 and 2012 rom the above scenarios can i use (VM)SQL2012 std. as Distributor ? while publisher is being SQL 2014 ent.?

The MSDN doc makes it sound like after a failover of the primary, the CDC data won't "keep working" on the secondary unless you "To allow the logreader to proceed further and still have disaster recovery capacity, remove the original primary replica from the availability group using ALTER AVAILABITY GROUP <group_name> REMOVE REPLICA. Then add a new secondary replica to the availability group."
We have a few CDC tracked tables that we use and the general idea of AlwaysOn I thought was to minimize all the overhead and let things "just work" so your apps just connect and the listener re-routes everything where it needs to go.
It looks like to get this working properly an automated job /trigger would have to wait for a failover event and then kick off tasks to remove and re-add the replica and perhaps start up the CDC job on the secondary?

If i create Publications on Server1 (primary replica) to subscriber 4 servcer, will the publication be created automatically in Secondary Replica Server2 ? or do i have to create manullay using GUI/T Sql on Both Servers?

This is my first deployment of an always on availability group for SQL 2014 and I'm trying to get my custom backup procedure to handle all databases appropriately depending on the primary group. Basiscally I want the system databases and all databases that don't participate in the availability group to be backed up on both nodes and those that do participate backed up ONLY on the primary server. I've looked at the sys.fn_hadr_backup_is_preferred_replica funcation, but would like to only have to test for a single databases existance in the availability group. If the one database is in the group, only backup the system databases and those that don't participate, otherwise backup everydatabase. This would be the case for both full backups and transaction logs.

I am setting up a 3 node cluster as part of an availability group.Initially I tested failover between nodes using SQL Management Studio and everything failed over successfully when I stopped a node, and I was still able to write queries. I started to test with an application which connects using an SQL user and whenever I would switch nodes, I would get login failed. I believe the cause of this issue is because the server logins SID's which are tied to the database are different than the server logins on the other nodes which resulted in login failed.how can I ensure that the server logins SID's are the same between nodes? Is there a way of copying this over or how is this supposed to be done? I read a little about contained databases where I could just set the login on the database itself vs. creating a server login but I would rather not go down that route.

we currently use Backup Scripts from Ola Hallengren, It Says Full (non copy-only) and differential backups are performed on the primary replica. Full(Copy-only) backups and transaction log backups are performed on the preferred replica.
we currently do FULL(COPY_ONLY) Backup everyday and LOG Backups for every 15 min, is there any performance benefit on running the FULL (non copy-only) on the preferred replica .

We had 3 Availability Groups set up in SQL 2012 last year but they were poorly named so I am just looking to rename them but there doesn't seem to be any command for it that I can find.Can they not be renamed once created? I guess I could just create new ones and move the DB's into them but just thought I would check!

We have multiple SQL 2012 SQL servers setup in an alwaysOn availability groups. Where should we schedule the re-index? We have Server1 as the primary and 2 secondaries Server2 and Server3. Are their any tricks to have it run on which ever one is the primary?

I'm doing a certification process using AlwaysOn, and was using the link below, and on the lower 90 hotfix, and instead of downloading one by one, and then upgrade one by one updates, is there any way to make it more faster or practical, or unfortunately have to do this one by one, so the download as the update? This rollup contains the latest version of the Windows system files that are updated after the release of SP1. URL...

I have Configured always on Availability groups between Server 1 Primary Replica(Active), server 2 Secondary Replica(Passive) on top of WCFS...
Listener Name: AGListner( CLIENTS/APPLICATIONS connect using this Name)
Testing Scenario 1(on Virtual Servers):
I have turned network down on Server 1(primary) , then secondary server (Passive ) one came ONLINE and this is now the primary and i was able to connect to AGListner.now When i try to SHUTDOWN/POWER OFF PRIMARY(current Active server),failover happened to Secondary successfully but lost cluster and lost AGListner and was not able to connect ....now applications which are trying to connect using AGListenr name will loose all connections..does AlwaysOn Availability does not support Server SHUTDOWN/POWER OFF?or is there a way to resolve this? or am i doing wrong somewhere?

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)?

We are currently using 2008 environment. We do have an SSIS Package running. The package used to run everyday and take the production server full backups and restore into the another server. Then do some delete commands and do some updates in that database on that server (We have some sensitive data other than Production we have to run that scripts in any environment). After run all those delete statements another team will read the data from that database.
We are planning to migrate to 2014 and set up always on and use the replica as the source. In this case how the package will work?
How to change that SSIS package. With the 2014 always on we are directly reading the data there is no backups to restore then how to run the delete statements?

We are looking at going down the High Availability Always On route. However we have some concerns around the lack of support for MSDTC. In short we are concerned that developers may introduce functionality either on purpose or by mistake that uses the or escalates the Query’s to the MSTDTC. As this could result in database splitting.
Understand that this will be a moot point in SQL 2016 but for 20122014 is it possible to disable the MSDTC to protect against this and run High Availability Always On. ? Does it just need to be disabled on the SQL Server or does it need to be done on the application server ?

We are having a conversation at work and the subject of load balancing with SQL came up. Right now we are running SQL Server 2014 on four (4) machines. I am using a AlwaysOn with Availability Groups (AG). Now I know that we can scale out the reading in AG by allowing the secondary serves to receive reads.
Is there a way to be able to do this with writes? Can I have in essences 2 masters that some how reconcile with each other? We are expecting a huge amount of writes in the near future and we need a way for SQL to handle the amount of traffic we are expecting with out any issues.
I explored the possibility of Peer - to - Peer replication; however, it seems that it would be more work if we are constantly making updates to the database scheme.

We have a server A and a server B setup with SQL2014 High Availability - working fine.
I need to add an additional listener to our new DR site.
What is the best way to do this without impacting production - can I just add the additional replica from nodea as a secondary replica?

I want two write a small script to determine which is the currently active (primary) server in the AG.
Right now, I see that using SELECT * FROM SYS.dm_hadr_availability_replica_states I can determine the role. However, when the server goes down and switches to the secondary node, I don't believe that the role changes (or does it?). How do I determine which is the active node?

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.

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?

We have a SQLServer 2012 Always-On Availability (AAG) Primary and Secondary Node installation/environments. On the Primary node, we have some databases that have the TRUSTWORTHY option enabled (Set to ON). But when the databases are synched/added to the AAG the databases loose the TRUSTWORTHY property and are reset to OFF on the Secondary Node.Because of this,When the instance fails over to the Secondary Node the applications that were working don’t work anymore.

I been trying to learn availability groups since I have not implemented it.
From my understanding you can have more than one group.
Lets pretend we have two groups in one instance:
1. Accounting
2. Engineering
From my understanding you can't make a database in two AG because it wouldn't make sense.
But lets pretending there is one database that both are used by accounting and engineering.
Would you have to make a third AG for future fail overs so that other databases in the other two group don't failover when not needed because when you fail over an AG all the databases inside it fail over.

Do you need to enable Always on Availabilty on all the instances or only the instance you need to ?. We have 4 instances on a 5 node cluster and we only need one instance for the Always on to be enabled. Do we need to enable on all 4 instances ?

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.

From what I understand, one SQL Server 2012 instance can host multiple availability groups. That should allow, for example, the following situation - one SQL Server 2012 instance containing three primary replica databases - each one part of a different availability group - and each availability group's secondary replica located on a separate SQL Server 2012 instance.
Can you have three SQL Server 2012 instances, each with one primary replica database and have all three secondary replica databases on one SQL Server 2012 instance? So instead of, as above, going from 1 primary server to 3 secondary servers, this time we're going from 3 primary servers to 1 secondary server? The one secondary server would then contain all three secondary replicas for each of the 3 separate primary replicas.
This would mean that the single server (where all three secondary replicas reside) was part of three separate Windows Server Failover Clustering clusters.
Is this scenario possible?
