Citrix Provisioning

Enable SQL Server Always On multi-subnet failover

Citrix Provisioning supports SQL Server Always On failover in multi-subnet environments. The Citrix Provisioning server requires Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server. Microsoft OLE DB Driver fully supports Always On availability groups.

Ensure that the provisioning server is configured to use the Always On availability group listener as the database server name. You do not need to use any instance name. When you use the availability group listener, enable multiSubnetFailover.

Tip:

The Microsoft OLE DB Driver is part of the Citrix Provisioning installer. No additional installation procedures are necessary to use this functionality.

Enable always on failover using the Enable MultiSubnetFailover for SQL field on the Database Connection Options dialog in the Citrix Provisioning Configuration Wizard. To avoid potential configuration conflicts with other Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops components, use only the configuration wizard to enable this feature.

Note:

For more information, see SQL Always On for SQL Server 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2017.
