Hi,
I want to be sure about entries before starting HA configuration from the first Broker machine.
As a reference I use the instructions :
- On the next screen, you will need to enter information for the SQL server, database, database location and the DNS name for High Availability for the RD Connection broker farm to be accessible on. The information entered is as
follows:
Database Connection String: (In this example the database name will be RDFarm)
DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 11.0;SERVER=DC01;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Remote Desktop Services Connection Broker;Database=RDFarm
Folder to store database files:(This is from a default installation of SQL for demo purposes. Please check with your SQL admin on the correct location.)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL11.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\DATA
DNS Round Robin Name: Enter the DNS Round Robin name the RD Brokers will be accessed one. (This should be placed into DNS prior to proceeding)
QUESTIONS:
SQL 2012 is installed on dedicated Server 2012 VM. Native client 11 is installed on each broker from the SQL installation disk.
SQL server is installed using Default Instance.
1. in database connection string I have to change only the server name from the example's one (SERVER=DC01) to real SQL server name: 00vrds-sql
2. for Folder to Store Database Files... In the example it is local drive.
I accessed the DATA folder on my dedicated SQL server using UNC from the broker's machine and it is accessible when logged in with domain admin account. However Domain Admin is not SQL admin account. Just in case that it will not work I added SQL admin account to the local Admin group of Broker from which I want to transfer DB.
The server Manager for SQL admin profile is configured and properly shows RDS deployment. Probably it will make sense to transfer SQL DB being logged in as SQL admin.
Please correct if required.
Thanks.
