Hi,
SQL Server 2012 EE with SP1 - Windows 2008 R2 EE.
I am trying to setup SQL Server 2012 Always on Availability Groups - HADR. I am testing this on a 3 node cluster but all nodes are in the same cluster - not from one cluster server to another like from Production to DR. All in DR servers (3 Nodes). We have 3 Instances installed on this 3 node clusters Namely 1- CoreProduct 2- CLientProdDR01 3- CLientProdDR02. I am trying to test this from CLientProdDR01to CLientProdDR02 but I am getting an error basically it is saying (Sorry, I did not copy the exact error) that If you are going to use 2 node, drop the 3rd node from being a possible owner of the cluster instance. The process is not going any further and errors out. Is this a requirement for the HADR - Always on ?. I only want another replica on the second DR instance CLientProdDR02and don't want to touch CoreProduct instance as it is a different product. Is there a solution ?. I don't want to drop the 3rd node from being a possible owner...........Thanks.......
