Hello! Can you help me with SQL 2014 SSAS design?I am planning to install SQL 2014 on two servers and create AlwaysOn Availability Group. I want to install then SSAS on both servers and create Failover Cluster Role for it. The question is - will it work? I found one official paper [url=http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/2/0/d20e1c5f-72ea-4505-9f26-fef9550efd44/ssas_failover_cluster_v4.docx][u]here[/u][/url], that says it won't ([i]While the AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature also requires a WSFC, it can only be utilized with the relational engine and cannot be used with Analysis Services databases.[/i]) and official page [url=https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh967523(v=sql.120).aspx][u]here[/u][/url] which says it would ([i]If you are using availability groups as your high availability solution, you can use a database in that group as a data source in an Analysis Services tabular or multidimensional solution.[/i]).So the questions are:1 - Can I use Availabilty Group for hosting SSAS database?2 - Will Failover Cluster works for SSAS clustering?One more thing I am thinking about: can I use NLB for balancing SSAS instances? As far as I found NLB support only read activity with SSAS.
