There are 34 share-point databases we are planning to migrate from 2008 R2 to 2012 Always on.
Existing 2008 R2 environment is standalone. No HA/DR setup. But we are planning for HA/DR setup at 2012 environment.
Here is the 2012 Always On Setup: (TEST ENVIRONMENT)
DATACENTER1 (Main)
1. ServerSHARP1 ->Primary Replica ->Sync
2. ServerSHARP2 ->Secondary Replica ->SYNC
Datacenter (DR)
3.ServerSHARPDR ->This is another replica at DR location. ->Async
Always ON Group: AG_SHAREP_GP
Listener: sharp123
FQDN: sharp123.abc.com
My requirement is all 32 databases should participate in HA but i don't want DR, then i want remaining 2 database should participate in HA and DR because those 2 databases are very important.
STEPS i performed till now:
1. I moved (Copied) all 34 databases to ServerSHARP1
2.Added all 32 DB (except 2 dbs) databases to AG_SHAREP_GP.
3.Tested fail-over between ServerSHARP1 and ServerSHARP2 and everything is working fine and able to connect with listener/FQDN.
Now i stuck up at configuring those 2 database? how to setup these two databases for HA and DR?
Does these two databases require another AG Group,Listener and FQDN (for application access)? or can i use same?
either case how can i give connection string in application server? as we know that application server can't understand multiple FQDNS.
Please help me.
