How do I configure Reporting Services on an Always-On cluster?

Question

I need to install Reporting Services on an Always-On cluster with two nodes. Setting up the database is not a problem. I create the database using the listener address and then set up the Always-On availability group for it on the primary and use Automatic Seeding to create and set up the database on the secondary. I don't know how to configure Reporting Services however if the Reporting Services application sits on an Always-On cluster. Is that even possible? When you install Reporting Services should you use the listener address instead of the node name?

Thanks.

Hey there,

SSRS itself is not cluster aware. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-server-sharepoint/high-availability-reporting-services?view=sql-server-ver16

As Dirk wrote, SSRS is not cluster aware.

SSRS is mainly a web server and as with other web server you can setup a web farm = scale-out, see
