I think all of us know how to move files for SQL Server databases from disk to another disk but today I will explain how we can do it on SQL Server always on to reduce the downtime and taking new backup to return the database to always-on again. Let us start on the technical steps.

• Preparations Steps
• Check the current DB Files locations
• Check Always on Health Status
• Disable all backup jobs on Primary and secondary servers
• Suspend the data movement on Secondary server
• Remove Database from Primary server
• Update DB files by new disk location on secondary server
• Stop SQL Server instance on Secondary server
• Move (CUT) DB Files from old location to new Location (Past)
• Start the SQL Server instance again
• Verify the DB File Location Using T-SQL on the post
• Join the DB to availability group from Primary server
• Check SQL Server always on Health Status Using T-SQL on the post
• Enable the SQL Server Jobs
• Failover the SQL Server for Primary (X) to Secondary Server (Y) and do the same steps on (X)

Let’s Start The Technical Demo

• Prepare your new disks
• Make sure the security copied from old disk to new disk

SELECT sadc.database_name, ag.name AS ag_name, dhrs.is_local, dhrs.is_primary_replica, dhrs.synchronization_state_desc, dhrs.is_commit_participant, dhrs.synchronization_health_descFROM sys.dm_hadr_database_replica_states AS dhrs INNER JOIN sys.availability_databases_cluster AS sadc ON dhrs.group_id = sadc.group_id AND dhrs.group_database_id = sadc.group_database_id INNER JOIN sys.availability_groups AS ag ON ag.group_id = dhrs.group_id INNER JOIN sys.availability_replicas AS sar ON dhrs.group_id = sar.group_id AND dhrs.replica_id = sar.replica_id;

Now we will do our Activity on the secondary then after it, you can do failover and do the same steps on the primary node that it will be secondary node after failover

You should stop the backup to avoid any new log backup can be taken during this activity otherwise you will need to do restore for logs backup on secondary server to be able to join the Db again to availability IF you are taking backup using SQL Server native mode use below script and if you are using any third-party tool disable the SQL account of this tool in all nodes.

USE MSDB;GOUPDATE MSDB.dbo.sysjobsSET Enabled = 0WHERE Enabled = 1and name = 'backup Job Name'GO

USE MASTERGOALTER DATABASE (DEMO_MOVE_DB) SET HADR SUSPENDGOALTER DATABASE (DEMO_MOVE_DB) SET HADR OFF;

USE MASTERGOALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP (DEMO_HAG) REMOVE DATABASE (DEMO_MOVE_DB);

USE MASTERGOALTER DATABASE DEMO_MOVE_DB MODIFY FILE (NAME = DEMO_MOVE_DBlog, FILENAME = 'F:logdbfilesDEMO_MOVE_DB.ldf');

• Stop SQL Server instance on Secondary server
• Move (CUT) DB Files from old location to new Location (Past)
• Start the SQL Server instance again
• Verify the DB File Location Using T-SQL on the post
• Join the DB to availability group from Primary server
• Check SQL Server always on Health Status Using T-SQL on the post
• Enable the SQL Server Jobs
• Failover the SQL Server for Primary (X) to Secondary Server (Y) and do the same steps on (X)
