SQL Server Always On Series - Configuring Always On Availability Group with Automatic Seeding

SQL Server Always On Series - Configuring Always On Availability Group with Automatic Seeding @jbswiki ​

Welcome to our YouTube channel, where we delve into the intricacies of SQL Server and provide practical guidance for database administrators. In this comprehensive tutorial, we will guide you through the process of configuring Always On Availability Group using "Automatic Seeding" as the initial data synchronization preference. Additionally, we'll explore effective ways to monitor and manage this setup to ensure seamless database replication and high availability.

SQL Server Always On Availability Groups offer robust solutions for achieving data redundancy, disaster recovery, and increased availability. By configuring automatic seeding, you can simplify the initial data synchronization process between the primary and secondary replicas. This feature eliminates the need for manual backups and restores, saving time and effort while ensuring consistent replication.

In the first part of the tutorial, we will provide a thorough introduction to Always On Availability Groups, explaining their significance in maintaining high availability and enabling failover capabilities. We'll discuss the benefits of automatic seeding as the preferred method for initializing secondary replicas, highlighting its ability to streamline the setup process and maintain data consistency.

To help you get started, we will guide you step-by-step through the configuration of Always On Availability Group with automatic seeding. We'll cover the essential prerequisites, including the necessary network and storage configurations, and guide you through the process of creating and preparing the availability group, replicas, and databases.

During the setup, we'll address common challenges and considerations, sharing practical tips and best practices to ensure a smooth configuration experience. We'll demonstrate how to specify automatic seeding as the preferred method for data synchronization and provide insights on optimizing performance and mitigating potential issues.

Once the configuration is complete, we'll dive into effective monitoring techniques to ensure the health and performance of your Always On Availability Group. We'll explore various monitoring tools, including SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), Dynamic Management Views (DMVs), and third-party solutions. You'll learn how to monitor synchronization status, performance metrics, and alerts to proactively identify and address any potential issues.

Furthermore, we'll introduce you to a T-SQL script specifically designed to list automatic seeding of Always On Availability Group. This script, as shared in the referenced SQL Authority blog article, will provide valuable insights into the automatic seeding process, including its progress, status, and any potential errors encountered.

By the end of this video, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of how to configure Always On Availability Group using automatic seeding as the initial data synchronization preference. You'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to monitor and manage this setup effectively, ensuring seamless database replication and high availability.

Under availability group there is always 1 primary server and 1 or more secondary. If i have some heavy script to run and want to switch mode to async what is best approach? Should i change it on primary and all secondary servers or only secondary? I mean inside availability group. As shown in your video at 05:30
