Upgrading an engine with SQL Server AG virtual database
Upgrading an engine involves quiescing and enabling the datasets.
Tunable default value description
By default, the MSSQL_ALLOW_QUIESCE_AG_VIRTUAL_SOURCES is set to true, upgrade attempts quiesce for the AG virtual database. If set to false, quiesce will not be attempted.
Upgrade concerns
Fast disable is not supported for the SQL Server AG virtual database. Thus, quiesce for SQL Server AG virtual database will always unmount and unexport the dataset.
Quiescing of the SQL Server AG virtual database is only performed when the SQL Server AG virtual database is in Running status.
