System copy procedure for AlwaysOn - non shared disk cluster?

[former_member211576]

Hi experts,

   What is the correct procedure for non shared disk cluster?

1.first node

2.database instance

3. additional node

4. another database instance again on additional node because the master db is not shared?

I ask this question because sometimes I got strange error messages like "Logon not possible(error in license check)",

"Can't execute sap_check_if_sick", or

(by the way, sp_help_revlogin does not solve this problem perfectly)

Hi Dennis

1.    What is the correct procedure for non shared disk cluster?

Could you pls explain in details . because "non shared disk cluster" you are going to share the disk in local? in place of SAN? could you share you cluster configuration details?

1. Install the New Servers with windows OS 64 bit enterprise edition with latest patches.

2 Fail over cluster service installation and configurations

3 MS SQL (2008 R2 or 2005) cluster installation as per the installation guide

4. Central services instance for ABAP installation.

5 Central services instance for JAVA installation.

6 First MSCS node installation

7 Database Instance  Installation using backup restore method

8 Additional MSCS node installation

9 Enqueue replication server installation for ABAP in Node I

10 Enqueue replication server installation for JAVA in Node I

11 Enqueue replication server installation for ABAP in Node II

12 Enqueue replication server installation for JAVA in Node II

13 Central Instance Installation in Node I

Hi S Sriram,

   I have found the answer, FYI.

First node downtime: 1 hour

1. 70SWPM -> System copy -> First node

2. Change dbs/mss/server & SAPDBHOST to node 1

3. 70SWPM -> System copy -> Database instance

Second node downtime: 1 hour

4. 70SWPM -> System copy -> Additional node

5. Change SAPDBHost and dbs/mss/server to AG Listener

6.     Sp_help_revlogin + SWPM(7.3) -> Database upgrade completion
