Making SQL Server user-defined databases highly available

Last published : Aug 26, 2026
You can use VCS to manage user-defined SQL Server databases. Create the required SQL databases using the SQL Server Management Studio and then make them highly available with VCS.
Perform the following tasks to configure user-defined databases with VCS:
  • Create volumes or LUNs for a user-defined SQL Server database and its transaction log.
  • Create a SQL Server user-defined database and point the database files and transaction log to the paths of the new volumes or LUNs.
  • Modify the SQL service group using the SQL Server Configuration Wizard to add the NetAppFiler and NetAppSnapDrive resources for the user databases.
