Hello all,
We're working on a POC for AlwaysOn and readable replicas, but we're hitting an issue while trying to enable the AlwaysOn High Availability feature of SQL 2012.
I'm following the steps on this link, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff878259.aspx, but when I get to the AlwaysOn High Availability tab, I see the following information:
The AlwaysOn Availability Groups feature requires the x86(non-WOW) or x64 Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2012 (or later version) running on Windows Server 2008 (or later version) with WSFC hotfix KB 2494036 installed. This SQL Server edition and/or Windows Server System does not meet one or more of the requirements.
For more information about pre requisites, restriction and recommendations for AlwaysOn Availability Groups, see SQL Books Online.
The only problem here is that I'm running an Enterprise version of SQL 2012 (Evaluation), on a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64. I don't understand what the problem is.
Also, I did install the hotfix mentioned, which installed the "Data-Tier App Framework"
Have you guys seeing this issue? Can someone help?
