It happen one of my production database, when I tried to remove the database from alwaysON and other important databases went recovery pending and inaccessible.

    AlwaysON database not synchronizing suspect mode

One of my AlwaysON secondary database went suspect mode, it’s because of the log file and drive was full. I tried to resume the database. ALTER DATABASE dbname SET HADR RESUME;. It went “in recovery“ phase and fails. Since, it does not have even 1 MB space in the log file and drive to do a recovery phase. The drive has a good capacity for log, even though there was a huge transaction from application and the important one transaction log backup failed for five hours.

    How to solve the LSN mismatch issue in alwayson mirror SQL server The mirror database has insufficient transaction log data to preserve the log backup chain of the principal database. This may happen if a log backup from the principal database has not been taken or has not been restored on the mirror database

      There are many times, we face the LSN mismatch issue in alwaysON and other HA technologies. It is a bit hard to find the missing transaction log backup to apply. Since, there are hundreds of thousands log generated, depends on the transaction log frequency and it can be run in any secondary alwaysON database server. Think about “the VLDB” and “the backup is in different data center” and database are out of sync in DR site because of LSN mismatch. For VLDB 8 TB database, we cannot take a full or differential backup to fix this. Since, it will take more and more time. Backup is in different data center…
