We have two DB servers with the name of DB1 & DB2. We are planning to implement SQL 2014 AlwaysOn on PROD environment.
I need clarification on below points.
a. Is it mandatory to build windows clustering to implement SQL 2014 AlwaysOn ?
b. If the answer is Yes for above question, can you tell me how may IP address/or total number of IP's are required to configure AlwaysOn for SQL 2014 (we have two DB servers (DB1: Primary & DB2: Secondary)?
c. Is there any monitoring server/or heartbeat server is required for automatic fail-over (like witness server in DB mirroring).
Please don't share any URL for above questions, we have already done some R&D on SQL Server 2014 and we didn't get accurate answers for above questions.
Thanks in advance.
