SQL AlwaysOn AG - Cluster with a secondary replica in DR location

  • Hi everyone,

    I am taking over a SQL AlwaysOn Availability Group Clustering and there is a cluster node in a remote location who is acting as a asynchronous replica. The latency between this node of the rest of the cluster is about 65ms. I receive alerts from time to time that the DR cluster node was removed from the active failover cluster membership and it is probably due to latency.

    I see the following errors:

    Cluster has missed two consecutive heartbeats for the local endpoint 10.180.XXX.XXX:~3343~  connected to remote endpoint 10.182.XXX.XXX:~3343~.
    Cluster has lost the UDP connection from local endpoint 10.180.XXX.XXX:~3343~ connected to remote endpoint 10.182.XXX.XXX:~3343~.
    Cluster node 'DR' was removed from the active failover cluster membership. 

    I was wondering if it a common scenario in a DR case and how other administrators handle it ? Is it possible to increase the level of tolerance for that particular node ?

    Thank you
