D365 On-premises deployment - Availability Group on SQL Standard

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Mandeep.S 283

Hi,

I'm deploying SQL Server Standard for a D365 FO Production Environment with 100 users. The sandbox was deployed with a single instance SQL Server so the installation was easy.

Microsoft recommends Availability groups for Production environments. The ConfigTemplate.xml has a placeholder for the SQL Cluster and the commented section reads 'Update the ListenerName with the Always-On Availability group of your SQL cluster'.

The questions are:

  1. When I'm setting up SQL Server for the first time it does not have any User databases - so how do I create an availability group? If I cannot create an AG then how do I assign a Listener to it? 
  2. I have SQL standard licenses, therefore I can setup a Basic Availability group, which can be used for AXDB (1 db allowed in Basic AG). Does that suffice the AG requirement?

Appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Dear Gokul,

    Yes, I did find a solution.

    Go through this link - learn.microsoft.com/.../select-initial-data-synchronization-page-always-on-availability-group-wizards

    and this...

    learn.microsoft.com/.../select-initial-data-synchronization-page-always-on-availability-group-wizards

    You can create an empty AG and add db manually.
