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.

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...

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.

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.

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?

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?

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 ..
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?

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?

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 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 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.

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.

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 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.

SQL 2012 EnterprisePrimary server and 2 x secondary serversWindows 2012 R2
I have removed one of the database from availability group by mistake. Luckily I am still operational with primary server. database on secondary servers are on restoring mode.
I have done full backup of database from primary (prod) server and restored on secondary servers with no recovery when I add database into availability group I get an error message log missing what is the best method to achieve and add database again into availability group.
Note I cannot restore database on primary server as it is on production

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?

We have an AG scenario where we are using WFC on a 2 node cluster. We are then using AG for mirroring the databases to both nodes and have a listener.
What I want to do next is to establish another copy of the database at a remote location. But I don't want to add the 3rd system to the WFC. I am not a big fan of WFC and I have seen it causes many more problems. The 3rd system will be in a remote location and the network not 100% reliable. I have seen in the past that it causes the entire cluster to hang and causing my production to crash which I don't want.
I there a way to add a 3rd node to the mirror configuration. I don't know if I can add a 3rd node to the AG unless it is part of the same cluster.
I know I can configure log shipping, I am fine with it but in the source, I have no control of which node the DB will be. I am not sure if a log shipping scenario can be configured using the listener instead of the physical host.

Discovered that a geo-spatial AlwaysOn HA database (1 of 4) was not synchronizing as at a point in time earlier in the day. Suspend Data Movement appears to be working perpetually without finishing. The SQL Server services is in a Pending Changes state after an attempt to restart it from SQL Configuration Manager. The Cluster Dashboard says it is in a Not Synchronizing state, with only the one database in question having a yellow triangle, all 3 others show green.
The warning for the cluster is:At least one availability database on this availability replica has an unhealthy data synchronization state. If this is an asynchronous-commit availability replica, all availability databases should be in the SYNCHRONIZING state. If this is a synchronous-commit availability replica, all availability databases should be in the SYNCHRONIZED state. There is no abnormal data movement from the primary to the seconday.The warnings for the unhealthy database are:
The data synchronization state of this availability database is unhealthy. On an asynchronous-commit availability replica, every availability database should be in the SYNCHRONIZING state. On a synchronous-commit replica, every availability database should be in the SYNCHRONIZED state.Either a database administrator or the system has suspended data synchronization on this availability database.So how to get this database back to synchronizing state?

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 a 2012 AlwaysOn DB Mirroring environment set up with two nodes. Both have 5 installs of SQL named instances.
The issue we are having is when we patch one server and fail everything over, some of the applications will error. Some of the applications had to have their web.config files updated with hostinstance name because it seems to not work with DNS.

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 ?
