We are trying to set up replication for a database in a high availability cluster environment, where an outage of the primary database server will automatically fail over to the secondary server.
Furthermore, we are using a workgroup-based environment rather than domain-based, because in this case a domain controller would be superfluous.
Configuration: OS: WinServer 2019 SqlServer: 2017 Replication: merge, push-based
We have not be able to get a publisher set up with the name used for the cluster (i.e., the name that resolves to the cluster IP address). The setup only allows the name of the database server, which resolves to the IP of the primary database server.
Is it possible to set up Sql Server replication in an availability group environment that is workgroup-based?
