Configuring database high availability using 
Microsoft SQL Server
 AlwaysOn

Before you install 
BlackBerry UEM
, decide if you want to configure high availability for the 
BlackBerry UEM
 database. Database high availability allows you to retain database service and data integrity if issues occur with the 
BlackBerry UEM
 database.
You can use one of the following 
Microsoft SQL Server
 features for database high availability:
  • AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances (FCI) for 
    Microsoft SQL Server
     2014 or 2016 (Standard Edition)
  • AlwaysOn Availability Groups for 
    Microsoft SQL Server
     2014 or 2016 (Enterprise Edition)
  • Database mirroring for 
    Microsoft SQL Server
     2014
If you want to use an AlwaysOn feature, you must complete configuration steps before you install 
BlackBerry UEM
. This section gives you instructions for configuring database high availability using AlwaysOn.
You can configure database mirroring any time after you install 
BlackBerry UEM
For instructions, see the Configuration content.
Microsoft
 recommends using AlwaysOn because database mirroring will be deprecated in a future version of 
Microsoft SQL Server
.
