• Thanks, yes I have deployed an AlwaysOn Availability group and these instruction are straight forward...what I am lacking is a guide to combine Fail-over Clustering with AlwaysOn Availability. I have two 2 node failover cluster environments (SQL 012 with shared disks, etc.) and want to create an Availability group between them for added redundancy and DR....however I cannot figure out how to do it..or even if it is possible. People alluded that is it online but I have yet to find this mystical guide. One article combines two different technologies...the other walk through leaves Failover Clustering out completely...or am I wrong?

    PS You also don't mention how to create the secondary database to Join in the Always On Wizard, and while trivial to some, it was a step I had some issues as I needed to leave it in a recovering sate. Not trying to be a jerk...just struggling with this as Microsoft doesn't seem to have an good articles on this subject matter.
