AAG backup from the SQL standalone server.
The procedures in this document are based on an example setup with the following
configuration:
l SQL AAG is configured for a SQL virtual cluster with three nodes.
l The SQl virtual cluster automatically fails over in case of high availability.
l The backup is performed by using a SQL standalone server as the backup node.
l Prefer Secondary is the AAG backup policy.

Example backup LAN environment configuration


The following figure describes the detailed layout of the backup LAN environment.
Figure 1 Sample backup LAN environment

The example setup consists of:


l SQL Server 2012 Windows Cluster: ma-sql2012-emc
n Node 1: ma-sql-emc1.onemc.com
n Node 2: ma-sql-emc2.onemc.com
n Node 3: ma-sql-emc3.onemc.com
l SQL Server instances:
n Instance 1: masql2012emc1.onemc.com

Technical Notes

n Instance 2: masql2012emc3.onemc.com
l phxemcnw100.emcmgmt.local: NetWorker server
l mrlemcnw100.emcmgmt.local: NetWorker server
l phxemcdd100.emcmgmt.local: Data Domain
l mrlemcdd100.emcmgmt.local: Data Domain
Update the IP address, hostname, and FQDN in the etc/hosts file for all the components
in your setup. The following table provides details for the example setup.

Configuring SQL AlwaysOn Availability Group


Create the AlwaysOn Availability Group from any SQL virtual instance or the standalone
server. Use the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to perform the steps in this
section.
Perform the following steps after you create the SQL AlwaysOn Availability Group from the
masql2012emc1 SQL virtual instance for the db1, db2, and db3 databases :
1. Add the masql2012emc3 and ma-sql-emcX.onemc.com replicas to the SQL AlwaysOn
Availability Group.
2. Set the backup preference to secondary only, prefer secondary, or any replica.
3. Set the priority of the ma-sql-emcX.onemc.com node to the highest, as shown in the
following figure.

TECHNICAL NOTES

Perform the following steps after you create the SQL AlwaysOn Availability Group from the
ma-sql-emcX.onemc.com SQL standalone server:
1. Set the backup preference to Primary.
2. Set the readable secondary of all the nodes to YES.
The following image displays the SQL FEDNODE1\INSTNAME SQL standalone server with
Prefer Secondary as the backup preference and 80 as the highest backup priority.

If you select any other preference and perform a backup of any SQL virtual instance, the
backup fails.
