AlwaysOn Availability / Different DB Name

  • Afternoon All,

    Is it possible to mirror a SQL SERVER 2014 (Enterprise) database to another server under a new name.

    For example, I have a 3 node AlwaysOn group with a database called Poker - Synchronous and Auto Failover applied where appropriate and all so far is working fine.

    What I would like is another Node, a 4th node with the same databases, async in this case but instead of being called Poker I want to call it PokerLive.

    Then I wish to create a database snapshot from PokerLive called Poker.

    Is this possible? The only reason for the 4th node is for this, so I don't want to build and add a test node in development if its all going to be naught and not possible.

    Cheers All,

    Alex

  • No, You cannot use a different name for same database since it is designed as a fail over technology.
