MSSQL Database Server for Infrastructure Components
vRealize Automation supports SQL AlwaysON groups only with Microsoft SQL Server 2016. When
installing SQL Server 2016, the database must be created in 100 mode. If you use an older version of
Microsoft SQL Server, use a Failover Cluster instance with shared disks. For more information on
configuring SQL AlwaysOn groups with MSDTC, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/library/ms366279.aspx.
vRealize Orchestrator
An internal highly-available instance of vRealize Orchestrator is supplied as part of the
vRealize Automation appliance.
