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 .

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.

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 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 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

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:

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!

Hi Sander,
Thanks for posting your issue, Have you activated required SharePoint 2013 features in your site collection? also, Install Report builder Model in SharePoint 2013.

Upgrade DTSX packages from VS 2010 with SQL Server 2008 to VS 2013 and SQL Server 2014

Hello everyone,
I’m very new to SSIS world. I’ve been assigned a task to upgrade the existing packages running in VS 2010 with SQL Server 2008 to VS 2013 and SQL Server 2014. And then submit the migration report to my client.
On very quick search at Google, I've found the following link. It seems like I just need to open the existing SSIS project in VS 2013 and follow the wizard.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280547.aspx
Can anybody please advise, are there any other things need to be taken care while doing this up gradation process?
Please share your experience.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Arthur,
Thank you for the response.
I just got an access of the packages. They are of VS 2008 and not 2010.
Do you know how to upgrade VS 2008 packaged to VS 2013?
When I tried to open the solution file in VS 2013, it says "incompatible".
Any help would be much appreciated.

Which Laptop is good for VS 2012/2013 and SQL SERVER 2008 R2 /2012 ?

Hi,
I am planing to buy a laptop.
I am gonna be using mostly for Visual sStudio 2013 and Sql Server 2012 .
my budget is $1000.
confuse between DELL/ HP / LENOVO..!!!
please help.

This is only a personal taste of mine:
I prefer to work in Virtual Machines. In fact I did set up a VM just for my programming. This has the advantage that games and other stuff are not slowed down by SQL Server Services and similiar stuff.
This also allows me to quickly make a small virtual networks with multiple clients if I need to test some client/server stuff.
Plus I am also a bit of an adminstrator and prefer to test stuff in VM's before I try them in the real world.
I prefer using Virtual Box for Virtual Machines, so one thing of big importance was support for VT-X/AMD-V. Without them Virtual Box cannot run x64 guests even on a x64 host system.
Otherwise I wanted Windows 8 (so I could finally learn to live with it/learn programming for it's UI). And of big importance was an upgrade of gaming ability (my old one had difficulty/impossibility to run most current games).
So I bought a x64, Win8 Gaming Laptop with 8 GiB RAM (so I can run 3-6 Windows 7 hosts in paralell) and looked that the CPU supported Hardware Virtualsiation.
Otherwise pretty much every current laptop will work. x64 OS might be prefereable, as .NET has some limitations under x32/x86 OS (like the
2 GiB limit). Multicore (2 or more) is pretty much the state of the art (are there still any single core CPU's out there?).
It of course needs to be a Windows (7 or 8) to support VS. New Laptops should have UEFI (all that are sold with Windows 8 have).
If you do not need a lot of storage, using a SSD instead of a HDD will propably speed up startups (Windows, Programms) and compilation times a lot (those are disk-heavy operations) - but I only know that it should and heard of people who have them.

SharePoint 2010 and SQL Server 2012 issue

Hi,
I have SharePoint 2010 integrated with SQL Server 2008 R2 in my machine. I wanted to use Power View feature, so I went for SQL Server 2012 installation. Now when I try to create the SQL Server Reporting service service application, it says, this feature
is not supported by current version of database.
Please let me know how to fix the issue. Do I need to reinstall SharePoint 2010 once again using SQL Server 2012 ?
thanks
Tarique

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.
You need to reconfigure your sharepoint farm farm to use SQL server 2012

SharePoint 2003 and SQL Server 2008

Can the SharePoint 2003 SQL Server 2000 database (backend) be migrated to SQL Server 2008? In other words, we want to use SharePoint 2003 with SQL Server 2008.
Thank you.

Hi there
I can confirm that SharePoint 2003 SQL Server 2000 Databases can be backed up and restored to SQL 2008 R2.
Stop all services and web on your SharePoint server before the move.
Backup all your SQL 2000 databases.
Restore them on your new SQL 2008/R2 database server
Setup a SQL Alias (make sure you DONT set the alias to 'Dynamic Port' or you may get the error below) on the SharePoint servers and after restarting SharePoint everything worked 100%.
Kind regards
Riccardo
Error if using Dynamic port on Alias .
If you move the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 databases to another computer
that is running SQL Server 2000, you may receive an error message that is
similar to the following when you try to access the portal site:
Array cannot be null.
Parameter name: Source
For example, you receive this error message when you click the link that is
displayed on the Web Parts Maintenance page. This error message may not be
caused by a Web Part issue. You may receive this error message in situations
when the TCP port that SQL Server 2000 uses is different from the TCP port
that SQL Server 2000 used on the original computer. Use Client Network
Utility to verify that the port that SQL Server 2000 uses is correct.
PS. Please remember to mark your question as answered if you got good advice.
