Rebuliding a WSFC with availability groups

  • It really depends on what the server team is doing...if they are rebuilding the servers then you are going to have to install SQL Server on the new server, add the logins/agent jobs/etc... from the primary, add the new server to the AG and add the databases.

    Basically, this is exactly the same operation you would take if you added a new node to the cluster.

  • Hi,

    If you are rebuilding the boxes then yes it will be a new install.  As AlwaysOn At is DB level replication even if you were to build a new node along side and add it as a secondary to the existing solution to seed the dbs to it you would still need to recreate the logins and jobs etc.

    I would recommend scripting the jobs and logins out however which should which should make your job a little easier.
