SCOM 2019, SQL 2017 being used

When setting up the Windows server failover cluster for the OperationsManagerDB between 2 sites what availability mode should be used, asynchronous or synchronous?

Hi @Joseph Patrick ,

For SCOM it doesn't matter whether you use asynchronous or synchronous availability mode, it's mainly up to your organisation's requirements.
I recommend you go through the official Microsoft documentation for designing your SCOM database servers:
