This is the first post this year so I decided to publish something related to the upcoming SQL version (SQL Server 2012)
AlwaysOn
is the new High Availability - Disaster Recovery Technique (HA/DR) which
is a huge improvement compared with the existing Database Mirroring.
(up to 4 read/only replicas. More info http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/future-editions/mission-critical/SQL-Server-2012-high-availability.aspx)
SQL Server
2012 has a new set of Dynamic Management Views and Functions (DMV/DMF).
Most of them are related to AlwaysOn. Note that all of them start with
sys.dm_hadr_%
They provide all the state of the Availability groups, replicas, cluster, etc. Useful when you have to troubleshoot
