Distributed Availability group

  • Is there a guideline or does anyone have any step by step process on removing Distributed Availability group between 2 servers properly? I am trying to beak it a part because the secondary server (forwarder) is old and ready to be decommissioned.

    This is how servers are setup:

    DAG between SQL1P (forwarder) and SQL2P (primary)

    Another DAG between SQL2P (forwarder) and SQL3P (primary).

    I need to remove the DAG between SQL1P (forwarder) and SQL2P (primary) . Any help is highly appreciated.

  • Thanks for posting your issue and hopefully someone will answer soon.

    This is an automated bump to increase visibility of your question.

  • Hopefully someone has a proper list for you but it would be something along the lines of:

    Cancel automatic seeding for the distributed group (seeding mode = manual).

    On SQL2P - ALTER DATABASE Databasename SET HADR OFF

    That should leave the databases 'restoring' so they can be deleted.

    DROP AVAILABILITY GROUP [DistributedAvGroup]
