Always On with Failover clustering Instance

  • Hi Everyone,

    Could anyone of you send me the steps to Configure Always on with a SQL Clustered database in 2012 as primary. I am getting an error saying that the Server is already joined in a cluster when I am trying to add the Mirror server while running the Always On wizard.

    Regards

  • It can't be clustered and a member of an AlwaysOn Availability Group. It has to be one or the other.

    I am little confused with he stuff in the above link, Could you please have a look at it and let me know if this is relevant to this setup.

  • So obviously, I was mistaken. you can find a description of how to do it here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqldisasterrecovery/thread/4989cdb8-bb69-46a4-865a-2deecd20ddf4

  • An FCI can participate in an AlwaysOn availability group, could you detail a little more about the set up of the clustered nodes servicing the FCI and the node you are attempting to use as a replica.

    All nodes must be part of the same windows cluster.

  • Can you please provide us a step by step notes to perform this. I am not able to configure them.

    Let me explain me the scenario

    I have created SQL Server 2012 Ent Cluster with 2 nodes and 1 cluster

    Created a standalone Server and Installed SQL Server 2012 Ent

    Enable AG for the both the Servers

    Trying to Join both the server using the failover cluster Manager I get error the Server is already joined in a cluster

    Could someone help me how to Join a sql clustered Instance to a standalone server in the failover cluster manager for configuring the AG.

    Thanks in Advance

    Join the stand alone node to the same windows cluster as the 2 current cluster nodes. This will produce a 3 node cluster (you may have to reconfigure your quorum settings)
