The update process is somewhat arduous in that you have to download each update for each device model, extract it, then manually upload each firmware file, test it, then approve it for wide scale release. If you have multiple pools, the updates need to be uploaded to each one so that a copy exists in each.

In a previous post, we described how to configure AlwaysOn Availability Groups for Skype for Business Server 2015: Deploying SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Group for Skype for Business Server 2015 That same post covers a green field deployment, but in this one we are going to work on a scenario where the xds and lis aren’t initially added to the AlwaysOn Availability Group. Step 1 – Install the Database on one of the SQL nodes First, we need to check the active node in the AlwaysOn Availability Group, as we should use the SQL node FQDN instead of the SQL pool FQDN.

If we try to use the SQL pool FQDN, we get this error: “Install-CsDatabase: An error occurred while creating or updating the database for feature CentralMgmtStore. ()” As we can see, the Install-CsDatabase cmdlet is trying to use the sqlpool.borderlands.lab C$.

However, since this is the listener FQDN, it doesn’t connect to the SQL node file share and the cmdlet fails. Download Dangdut Palapa Terbaru. To check the active node we can use the SQL Server Management Studio.

Connect to one of the SQL nodes and then expand AlwaysOn High Availability >Availability Groups >Group Name >Availability Replicas: In this case, the SQL01 is the primary. Now we go back to the Skype for Business Server PowerShell and we can install the Central Management Database: Install-CsDatabase -CentralManagementDatabase -SqlServerFqdn sql01.borderlands. Qualitek 4 Serial. lab -SqlInstanceName S4B_BE Step 2 – Add the CMS databases to the AlwaysOn Availability Group Before adding the database to the AlwaysOn Availability Group, we need to change the database recovery to full and also perform a full backup. David, thank you for all the AlwaysOn guides! I haven’t found any Microsoft documentation regarding the requirement that all AOAG replicas must be on the same subnet for SfB. Is this still unsupported? My goal is to setup a stretched AOAG (two datacenters) for the monitoring database.

What would be your favourite solution for that? There are some posts showing how to add availability group listener IP addresses from each subnet.

I like to avoid a extra mirroring/witness solution for monitoring.
