Sep 22, 2015I 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.

Jul 11, 2014I 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?

Recovery :: AlwaysOn Availability Groups Server Logins Fails When Switching Between Nodes
Jul 9, 2015I 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.

SQL 2012 :: AlwaysOn High Availability Group Showing All Databases
Apr 28, 2014I 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?
SQL 2012 :: AlwaysOn Availability Group Listener DNS Resolving To DR Node
Jan 19, 2015We 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.
SQL Server Admin 2014 :: AlwaysOn Availability Group Configuration
Jun 17, 2015What 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)?
Kerberos Ticket Encryption Type And AlwaysOn Availability Group Listener
Jul 6, 2015I 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!

KerbTicket Encryption Type: RSADSI RC4-HMAC(NT)
#XX> Client Somebody@somedomain.com

SQL 2012 :: AlwaysOn Availability Group Replica Ends Up With User Account As Owner
Sep 5, 2014Setting 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.

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRecovery :: Which Replica Becomes Primary When Availability Group Fails Over
Jul 16, 2015I have 3 synchronous AlwaysON replicas: A, B and C. A is primary, B and C are secondary and both are set to Automatic recovery. How can I understand, which of them (B or C) will become primary when A goes offline? Well, Actually my final DB system should support following configuration:
1) Normally - A is primary B and C are sync secondary.
2) if A fails, B automatically becomes primary, C remains Sync secondary.
3) if A goes online, it becomes primary again
4) C becomes primary only after A and B fail (and there still should be cluster quorum!)
As I understood, first of all i should configure quorum the following way: A-0, B-1, C-1, folder-witness-1.
The problem, again, is: I cannot understand how to configure which replica becomes primary when AG fails over.
Recovery :: Connecting To Availability Group Listeners In Different Subnet
Sep 23, 2015I have a web server that is on our DMZ subnet and I have a sql 2014 database server with Always on Availability Groups that is on our internal domain subnet.The failover cluster is on the internal domain subnet as well. I am trying to connect a web application, that is working off the .net 2.0 framework, to an SQL Server 2014 database using the Always on Availability Group Listener.
The connection strings works perfect with the named instance of the sql server but when I try to use the Availability Group listener it timed out. I did some research online and was led to believe that increasing the connection time would resolve it. I did that and got a different error pertaining to a successful connection but an error occurred during the login process (Provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
I just want to connect to an Availability Group Listener on the domain subnet. I have rules in the firewall to allow all services for the IP of the Listener. I switch back to the named instance of the same server and it works flawlessly. I have also connected to the Listener while running the application on the same subnet as the sql server without an issue. I have tried the IP instead of the Listeners name and still received the same error on the DMZ subnet. I'm running on Windows Server 2012 R2 on all servers.
The Web Server is using IIS 8.5..All Physical Machines except the replicas and webserver are virtual machines.All Static IPs involved.As mentioned all SQL Servers are 2014.

I assume this is really tied to the transaction log on the primary replica but would like it clarified.
