SharePoint 2019 Disaster recovery planning

Question

Hi All,

We have 2 SharePoint farms one for primary site and the other one for DR site. Now the question is regarding the database of SharePoint (SharePoint_Config). We have 2 SP Config databases "SharePoint_Config" which is a part of "availability databases" and "DRSP_config" which is not a part of availablity databases

If we will failover from primary SP farm to DR SP farm then these 2 databases will be present both at same time. Doest it make any impact on working of SP that both Config databases are present at same time.

Thanks

Hello @syed ashraf ali ,

According to my research, I suggest you better not to have two Config Databases with the same name.

SharePoint_Config : Default database name when it is installed with the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard

To restore the configuration settings, you must use the existing configuration database or manually create a new database and restore the configuration to that database. For more information about how to restore the farm configuration, see Restore farm configurations in SharePoint Server.

Thanks,
Echo Du
