SharePoint 2013 and SQL Always On

How do I setup SharePoint with SQL Always On.
I have two servers SQL1 and SQL2.  I created Windows 2012 cluster and called it MyCluster.
I installed SQL Server 2012 SP1 on both servers. I created AlwaysOn group called MyAlwaysOn and added test database to sync between those two servers.
Now I have to install SharePoint 2013.  How do I specify the SQL server? Do I say that name is SQL1? Or MyCluster? Or MyAlwaysOn?
MyAlwaysOn does not have IP address or DNS record, so I do not think I can do it. So, is it SQL1 or MyCluster?
If it is SQL1, do I manualy add SharePoint databases to MyAlwaysOn group? How does it work? How will SharePoint know to switch to SQL2?
Anyone knows how to do it right?
Thank you.
Thank you. Eric.

Create SharePoint Databases
Prepare SQL Alias
We need to fool SharePoint into thinking the SQL server where we'll create the configuration database is called something else. That’s because when you create a farm, whatever destination server you use during the “create new farm” stage isn’t forgotten (to
simplify), so first thing’s first let’s create fake alias for our SQL “server” – “SP15” as it’s SharePoint 2013 that’ll use it (version 15). As far as SharePoint needs to know everything is going into a SQL box called 'SP15'.
Now assuming you don’t have SQL Server tools installed (which you shouldn’t if it’s on production!) you’ll need to use a tool called “cliconfg.exe” to create a SQL alias. Run it; click the “Alias” tab, and the Add button.
Add a name – SP15 for the alias name, but it can be anything - instead of referencing a server-name we’ll reference the name of the alias which will transparently redirect traffic to the alias destination instead.
And if you know Russian languages

Так как БД SharePoint в нашем случае будут расположены на удалённом экземпляре SQL Server 2012 SP1(CU9), перед началом установки SharePoint
можно установить пакет Microsoft SQL Server Native Client. Его можно загрузить например со страницы Microsoft
SQL Server 2012 SP1 Feature Pack (файлENU\x64\sqlncli.msi), а ещё лучше взять дистрибутив клиента обновлённой версии из состава CU9 (файл\SQLServer2012_SP1_CU9\1033_enu_lp\x64\setup\x64\sqlncli.msi)
Хотя в дальнейшем фактически утилита подготовки к установке Sharepoint всё равно загрузит у установитSQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Native Client.
После установки SQL-клиента создадим на нашем сервере SQL-Alias, который будем в дальнейшем использовать для подключения служб SharePoint к серверу SQL Server. Этого конечно можно
и не делать, но это может оказаться полезным (даст нам дополнительную гибкость) в случае необходимости переноса БД на другой SQL-сервер или экземпляр. Запустим встроенную в ОС утилиту SQL Server Client Network Utility (%windir%\system32\cliconfg.exe)
и добавим два новых алиаса – с коротким именем SQL-сервера и его FQDN, указав при этом имя экземпляра и статический TCP порт (в нашем случае SHAREPOINT и 1435соответственно).
Имя самого алиаса в нашем случае будет KOM-AD01-SQLSP

  • SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server AlwaysOn - HA

    Hi guys,
    Please help!
    I need to setup SP13 server on SQL 2012 AlwaysOn (on sql01 and sql02). The HA AlwaysOn group already configured by DB team on these 2 replica with and called SP_AOAG  alias
    My question is can I use this alias to setup SharePoint  or I need to configure the HA AlwaysOn group for SgharePoint  as suggested in the article below:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sambetts/archive/2013/04/24/sharepoint-2013-and-sql-server-alwayson-high-availability-sharepoint.aspx
    Any advice greatly appreciated . 
    BalaiP

    You do not want to use a SQL Alias with an AG Listener. Just point SharePoint straight at the AG Listener. You will need to manually add any accounts to non-primary instances. You do not need to add them to individual databases, of course. You will also
    need to manually set MAXDOP to 1 on non-primary instances.

  • Is it possible to install SharePoint 2013 and SQL 2012 on single Azure Virtual Machine

    I had a Azure subscription, I need had created only one Virtual Machine, is it possible to install SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012 on that single virtual machine in azure.
    I had SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012 licence from MSDN subscription,
    Finally on Azure virtual machine is it possible to Install SharePoint 2013 and SQL server by downloading these software from MSDN. 

    Hi,
    It is supported to install sharepoint 2013 and SQL server on the same server. However, please check the size of your Azure VM and make sure it is compatible for that.
    The minimum recommended size for a virtual machine is A3 when using SQL Server Enterprise Edition. Select A3 or higher when using SQL Server Enterprise Edition. Select A4 when using SQL Server 2012 or 2014 Enterprise Optimized for Transactional Workloads
    images. Select A7 when using SQL Server 2012 or 2014 Enterprise Optimized for Data Warehousing Workloads images. In addition, the default size for SharePoint 2013 image is A3.
    In addition, as a best practice, you can install them in different servers and then deploy SharePoint 2013 with SQL Server AlwaysOn Availability Groups in Azure:

  • SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2014

    Does SharePoint 2013 supports SQL Server 2014 for Reporting Services, PowerPivot

    Yes it does (or rather, SSRS 2014/PowerPivot 2014 support SharePoint 2013). They also support SharePoint 2010.

  • SharePoint 2013 and SQL Reporting Services Integration Mode

    I'm setting up a production environment with SQL Server 2012 SP1 (Clustered) and SharePoint 2013.
    I successfully setup the integration using PowerShell (Install-SPRSService & Install-SPRSServiceProxy). I can see the SQL Reporting Service on the CA Services and it's started, I've also created the Services Application without any issues (And linked it
    to my web application). However the Report Server Integration feature is missing from my site collection and so are the content types. I even tried creating a new site collection and no dice.
    Appreciating any help.
    Best,
    MI

    Hi MI,
    As per my understanding, I think this issue is caused by you haven’t install the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products or is not installed correctly. If we install the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products after the installation of
    the SharePoint Server, then the Report Server integration feature and the Power View integration feature will can be activated for root site collections. For other site collections, we can manually activate the features. To fix the issue you occurred, we should
    install or reinstall the Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products.
    For more information about Install Reporting Services 2012 SharePoint Mode for SharePoint 2013, please see the following article:

  • SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012

    Hi all, 
    I've looked around and not found a concrete answer to this question; or maybe I have and just haven't realised! Anyway.
    We've currently got a license for SharePoint 2013 Enterprise, and are working on introducing Business Intelligence capabilities, namely Power Pivot and Power View. We'd like the data to be refreshed regularly, meaning we need Power Pivot on the SQL Server.
     As Power Pivot and Power View are listed as features for SharePoint 2013 Enterprise, is it enough to have the Enterprise licence for SP2013, and use a SQL Server 2012 Standard License, installing the Power Pivot configuration tool along with the required
    SSRS for Power View? Or do we need a SQL Server 2012 BI / Enterprise License to make use of Power View and Data Refresh on SP 2013?
    I've also seen talks of installing SQL Server 2012 SP1 -- I'm new to all of this, but would having SQL Server 2012 Standard License alongside installing SP1 be sufficient for the above features?
    Many thanks for any help.

    PowerPivot/PowerView do require the BI or Enterprise editions of SQL 2012 (and yes, SQL 2012 SP1 is required for SharePoint 2013).  These instances must be installed on the SharePoint server, not the SQL Database Engine server.  You can use SQL
    Standard for the Database Engine server.

  • SharePoint 2013 and Native Mode SSRS Web Parts

    SharePoint 2013 and SQL Server 2012 installation.  Trying to get the SSRS native mode web parts installed as per these instructions:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159772.aspx
    Have tried both via PowerShell and stsadm.  In both cases, get an error regarding "Failed to extract the cab file in the solution".  Have done this a bunch of times in SharePoint 2007 and 2010, is this solution no longer supported in
    2013 and if so, is there a supported way of integrating with SSRS in Native Mode for SharePoint 2013?

    OK, let me amend my statement a bit. 
    Found this article:  http:// social.msdn.microsoft.com /Forums/sqlserver/en-US/5b9de028-5b6a-47c7-8da8-793d1a78df55/error-with-sql-server-2012-rswebpartscab-for-sharepoint-2010
    Mind you, I was able to get the SQL Server 2012 version of RSWebParts.cab to install successfully on the SharePoint 2010 dev box in the environment, but figured that trying the SQL Server 2008 R2 version of RSWebParts.cab was worth a shot.  It worked
    (or at least it installed and I am able to add the web parts to pages).  Will post an update once I am able to test full web part functionality with an SSRS Native Mode server.
    So, what I can say from my testing:
    SQL Server 2012 version of RSWebParts.cab works (installs) for a SharePoint 2010 installation but not for a SharePoint 2013 installation.
    SQL Server 2008 R2 version of RSWebParts.cab works (installs) for a SharePoint 2010 installation and for a SharePoint 2013 installation.
    There is no update to RSWebParts.cab in SQL Server 2012 SP1 (at all, not in any part of it including the Reporting Services Add-In), the file is always 10/20/2012.
    So, as long as you are trying to integrate a SQL Server 2008 R2 SSRS Native Mode instance or lower on your SharePoint 2013 farm, there is a solution.  However, it will likely not work against a SQL Server 2012 SSRS Native Mode installation.  
    So, the amended statement is that:
    "The bottom line is that it *appears* that there currently is no supported version of the Native Mode (2.0) version web parts for SQL Server Reporting Services2012
    (RSWebParts.cab) for SharePoint 2013.  Therefore, there is currently no way to integrate SharePoint 2013 with a SQL Server Reporting Services
    2012 instance running in native mode."
    And, no, none of this really makes any sense in the least but that is what my testing shows.

  • How to connect SharePoint 2013 and Reporting Server - SQL Server 2008 - in native mode

    Hi,
    We are running Report Server on a SQL Server 2008 environment in NATIVE mode.
    We just installed a SharePoint 2013 environment. The SharePoint roles are installed on a single server and we are using a seperated SQL Server 2012 server.
    The goal: Display reports created on the Report Server in SharePoint 2013.
    The problem: I cannot get the two environments connected.
    I've read a dozen or more blogs but are currently more confused then before.
    What are the steps I need to take to connect the two environments?
    What options do I have in displaying the reports in SP2013 - do the reports need to be on the Reporting Server or can I add them to a document library... or are there other options?
    Thnx!

  • Workflows 2013 and SQL Report Services: Configure on Independent Servers or Existing App Servers?

    Currently, my SharePoint 2013 Farm has Workflows 2013 and SQL Report Services installed on app servers, along with other applications. Workflows 2013 isn't working correctly (installed prior to my coming on board with the organization), I'm assuming it
    is a configuration issue, but rather than re-configure, I've read that is recommended to be a standalone server. It was also recommended by a MSFT rep that our report services have its own independent server. Currently, Report Services is also installed on
    an app server that runs other applications on the farm.
    Has anyone had any experience with installing Workflows 2013 and/or SQL Report Services on independent vs. existing application servers?
    Additionally, my existing application servers have 24 GB of RAM (I believe the recommendation for SharePoint production environments is 12 GB), should I plan for the potentially new servers (Workflows and Report Services) to also have 24 GB of RAM? Not really
    sure if it will be needed if they have dedicated tasks.
    Thanks for any input you can provide!

    It entirely depends on load. WFM will work just fine installed on servers in the SharePoint farm. SSRS preferably should go on the end-user facing servers for better performance.
    The questions you're asking are all "it depends" :)

  • Delete everything in Sharepoint 2013 and start from a begining

    How do you delete all the settings, databases in Sharepoint 2013 and start from a begining.
    We have some problems that PictureURL is wrong and some other thing ain't working right. Because Sharepoint 2013 is in our test environment we would like to delete all settings, databases including PictureURL info, which I don't know which SQL database holds
    that information?
    bostjanc

    The pictureURL parameter is either going to be in the specific site collection in the User Information List, or it is going to be in the User Profile Synchronization Service Application, which is what syncs over to the User Information List. You will need
    to identify exactly what you are trying to clear out. If you are not using User Profile Synchronization in your test environment then the following will help you find and delete the appropriate Site Collection or content database.
    Any content is going to be Site Collection specific, so if you are setting the pictureURL for a user in http://portal.domain.com/sites/somesitecollection then that Site Collection will be in a specific database which may also contain other Site Collections.
    To find out which database a Site Collection is in go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Site Collections -> View All Site Collections. Here you can find the Site Collection you are browsing to. When you select it you will see
    what content database it is in. You can also just delete the Site Collection here without the need to delete the entire content database. Instead of clicking View All Site Collections in the steps above click Delete a Site Collection. That is probably the
    better route to go.
    If you are using the User Profile Synchronization and this is where the picture URL is set then you will want to go to Central Administration -> Application Management -> Service Applications -> Manage Service Applications -> Click your User
    Profile Service App and then view the user profiles. Find the user you want to remove the pictureURL for and edit that user profile to remove the picture.
    Hope that helps!

    The only requirements for SSRS Integrated mode/PowerView are that you're using SharePoint Enterprise and SQL Enterprise/BI and that SharePoint be installed and joined to the farm on the server where you're also installing SSRS.
