moving log files in HA groups

  • trying to find out if this is the best way to move log files in databases that are in an availability group.

    remove the DB from the AG

    Run alter database commands like you would normally to take offline ,move file,bring online ,etc

    drop the db from secondary node

    then rejoin the DB to the AG

    is that the only option for moving them when its in an avail group? cant find any other info on moving files in mirrors or HA groups

  • That sure would seem to be the process to me also, but like you I don't know that that is documented explicitly anywhere. Edge cases like that usually don't get covered.

    From what i can understand you want to move the primary dbs log file and then reflect this in the secondaries, correct?
