Hi All,
During our internal discussion we have a plan to configure AlwaysOn but as per our existing environment I have few questions to take this proposal to the client.
Existing environment: SQL Server 2012 Active/Passive cluster
Requirement: Configure AlwaysOn as DR for more than 100 databases in this SQL Server 2012 (default) instance of Active/Passive cluster.
Question:
Is it possible to install another (named) instance in this DB cluster (Active/Passive) and configure AlwaysOn between these two default and named instances.
or
Is it preferred to configure another windows server, SQL (standalone), add node to the existing active/passive cluster and configure AlwaysOn
Please suggest.
Regards,
Kalyan
Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva
