AlwaysOn Setup .

  • Hello,

    I have an existing requirement where in I have to setup Alwayson between two Nodes (Asynchronous/Synchonous). But the database name will have to changed later on.
    To elaborate little more -

    I need to refresh a database with a new DB name and then need to setup the AlwaysOn. But after the testing is done, the DB name to be changed wth the same Alwayson setup.
    Say -
    ABC_new is the database name and after the testing the dB name to changed to ABC alone with the alwayson setup.
    Breaking the steup and redoing it is a solution but assume for a database size of 500 GB + could like a problem. I am using the join only option. Kindly suggest with a feasible solution.

    Thanks.

  • is the issue that you don’t have available space or the time it takes to add it to avail group? If space isn’t an issue then you can take a backup of the original after testing then restore it as the new name. Then set it to full, take a backup, and add the new db to avail group then remove the old one and delete it.
