MSSQL Always On High Availability

  • We are testing a third party package and they want us to configure Always On. My question is in a test environment can we configure everything on one server?  By that I mean do I need an extra server for Windows Server Failover Clustering would like to do all on one server

  • Short answer, no.
  • rats was hoping for a yes but it is what it is
    thanks

  • You could build a 1 node fail over cluster and install SQL as an instance, then create an availability group.

    Not true HA as its 1 node, but you can still configure AOAGs
