Hi Guys, I hope you can clarify something for me. I have a 3 node SQL Server Failover cluster in my production environment. Each Node has 24 cores. I will run 2 instances of SQL one on Node1 and one on Node2. Node 3 will serve only as failover. For this scenario I have purchased licenses for 48 cores (that is 24 2 packs) WITH SA. Now enter the DR site. So for my DR site, I want the exact same configuration a 3 node cluster with sql running on 2 nodes, and syncing the data from production using AlwaysOn availability groups. The DR will serve only as DR. Other than the data syncing from production , there will be no active connections to it. Nothing. It will just sit there, in case we have to failover to it, hopefully never. So the question is, in this scenario, do I have to purchase additional licenses for the DR?
