Minimum number of Replicas needed - at least three?

  • I'm scratching the surface of AO. I currently have one SQL 2012 FCI on a WSFC. Which means one Active node at a given time? I cannot set up an AO with this, can I? Logically speaking I need “at least two” active (up & running) SQL Server instances to set up. And in your example you used a total of 5 nodes, and the minimum would be 3 for a AO on FCI + WSFC rt?

    Here is what my FCI looks like,

    there is no point in having AO when only 1 instance of SQL is running at a given time. Right ?

    If yes what would I need to set up AO

    A new Node in the Cluster or

    Any other Stand alone SQL Should(same version) do as well ?
