Recovery :: Fail To Create Availability Group Listener With Multiple Subnets
Oct 28, 2015
I am setting up a new pair of SQL 2014 enterprise servers in HA using Availability Groups. One of the servers is located here in our local datacenter (10.0.1.x) and the other SQL server is in our remote datacenter(172.16.1.x). I was able to setup the Windows Failover Custer without much issue. I setup the AG but when I try to setup the listener. I get the following error. I have setup an IP for both networks on the listener. I have confirmed that there is not any DNS records created for AG listener name. But I still get this error.

I have getting issues when i am creating listener for always On . Error shown as below
Can not bring the Windows server fail over cluster (WSFC) resources online. (Error Code 5942). The WSFC service may not be running or may not be accessible in its currents states, or the WSFC resources may not be in a state that could accept the request.
For information about this error code see "system error code" in windows development documentation
The attempt to create network name and IP address for the listener is failed. The WSFC service may not be running or may not be accessible in its currents states or the value provide for the network name and IP address may be incorrect.

In our(my company) current design we want to switch from failover clustering to Always On as high availibility solution.
I am currently testing the availiblity Group Listener function and have two questions regarding this.
First of all, is it possible to connect to a a listener by just using its "name" instead of "name,port", it is for our users very inconvenient to start using ports. If this is possible, where can I find information on how to configure this?
Second, is it possible to use the Availiblity Group Listener as loadbalancer or in combination with a loadbalancer to split the users over two or more nodes?*note we don't use azure.

Environment: SQL Server 2014 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
We have our availability group configured and working. However, when we try to connect to the AG listener from a remote server, we have to use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to connect. We'd like to be able to connect just using the host name. Interestingly, ping actually resolves the IP correctly for either.

I think theres something I'm missing about AG listeners. My test config is 1 SharePoint WFE & 2 SQL servers configured in an AAG.WFE, SQL1 & SQL2 servers are all on the same subnet.On the WFE, I configured an alias called SP15 to be used for the SQL servers. If I failover from SQL1 to SQL2 I just need to change where the alias is pointing on the WFE. So why do I need a listener? This works fine, albeit manually.I have read on some posts that an automatic failover process is possible. How can I add a 2nd IP address to the listener when both SQL servers are on the same subnet? The GUI doesn't seem to allow this.

need to migrate a cluster with an AG dtabases to new data center cluster with AG.
I was wondering if is possible to do mirroring on top of the AG configuration? or what other options could be to migrate a cluster that has 3 nodes and setup the ag databases to a new datacenter.

We are trying to build HA and DR environment, combining AG and FCI. So we have 3 servers added to a cluster, 2 of them sharing the same storage and working as ACTIVE-PASSIVE cluster instance. The other server has a stand alone instance with its local storage, with the same drivers letters as the cluster instance.
Between the Active FCI and the Stand Alone, we set up an Availability Group. They are running fine, except by the listener. When the stand alone instance owns the Primary Replica, I am able to access the SQL Server instance by the listener, but when the Primary Replica is owned by the FCI, I can't reach the database by the listener (name or IP).
I've opened the same ports in both servers, it hasn't worked though.

I have set up a couple of servers in a SQL 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Group (non FCI). I have also configured a Listener which enables SQL clients to connect to the server currently servicing the database, as expected.
I would also like non SQL clients to be able to connect to the server currently hosting the database so that they can run scripts sitting in a share. I don't have a shared disk so just have a directory share on each server with the same scripts in each directory.
I am able to ping and RDP to the listener IP address/name and end up on the correct server but am unable to connect to the share ListenerNameShare. Is that actually supported? If it is, any thoughts on what I need to do to get it going. If it isn't what other options do I have?

So I have Availability groups configured as well as the Availability Group Listener, what If I want to change the port that the listener is listening on, do I need to reboot the server or is it dynamic across the board ?

I have MasterDataServices installed on a server and the database is in an AlwaysOn Availability Group.The MDM front end currently is set up incorrectly and is referencing NodeA (primary node) for its database.I want to fix this but im unsure if i should:
-point the MDM front end to the cluster name, so it wont matter what server the databsae is on?
-create an Availability Group Listner, which would also decoupple the database referenced from a particular server.

We are rolling out the use of Availability Group listeners to our SQL Server 2012 Environment which has a 2 node multi-subnet cluster. The Primary is R/W and the Secondary is a non-readable node that would be manually failed over to in a DR scenario
I have set up the AGL and asked the sysadmins to create a DNS record in both subnets with fixed IP's.
The issue I have having is that when I ask the app developers to connect to the databases using the AGL it is totally random whether the AGL resolves to the Primary or DR node - as a result that are having problems getting their apps to connect.
I was thinking of asking the sys admins to remove the DNS record in the DR subnet and then add it back in should we need to fail over - but I was thinking there must be a better way.

I ran into a Kerberos authentication issue because of a missing AOAG SPN. Some of the tickets that granted me access to the nodes of the AOAG cluster were using the encryption type that I would expect. However, the MSSQLSvc SPNs were not using what I would expect!
klist
#XX> Client Somebody@somedomain.com
Server: RPCSS/MySQLServer@somedomain.com
KerbTicket Encryption Type: AES-256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96
#XX> Client Somebody@somedomain.com
Server: MSSQLSvc/MySQLServer@somedomain.com
KerbTicket Encryption Type: RSADSI RC4-HMAC(NT)
#XX> Client Somebody@somedomain.com
Server: MSSQLSvc/MyAOAGListener@somedomain.com
KerbTicket Encryption Type: RSADSI RC4-HMAC(NT)
I can't seem to figure out what the next step should be, and the infrastructure admins are stumped as well. How to proceed?

I setup an availability Group. (Only 2 servers - Primary And secondary) -- 21 , 22
I also define an listener . IP .. 23
1- In First step I connected To Listener (23) And in a while I inserted A record to a table .
While 1=1
insert into Tbl_T1(f1,f2) Values (1,2)
2- in second, I Stop the primary .
- I expected this while whitout disconnect, continue.
3- The while code stopped whit this message :
Msg 64, Level 20, State 0, Line 0 A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
4- I execute again the script, And it worked in new primary.
My questions :
1- is the listener disconnected between switched primary and secondary ? OR have we data loss between switching?
2- I did some huge update on Primary that fill the Log fiel space. And in last Update I got this error :
Msg 9002, Level 17, State 2, Line 27
The transaction log for database 'Your_DB' is full due to 'LOG_BACKUP'.
Is this (Fill All space) a reason to switch primary? Or not ?

I have a two node HA Always on group using a Listener. I would like to force a certain AD group to always be forced to the secondry node as they would only ever need to run select statements. If there an easy way to do this without using logon triggers?

Assuming all windows servers belonging to the WSFC are on the same subnet, will the AG listener become a single failure point in system if all Application servers connect to the AG through the listener? If the answer is yes, what are the options to resolve this issue?

SQL 2012 EnterprisePrimary server and 2 x secondary serversWindows 2012 R2
I have removed one of the database from availability group by mistake. Luckily I am still operational with primary server. database on secondary servers are on restoring mode.
I have done full backup of database from primary (prod) server and restored on secondary servers with no recovery when I add database into availability group I get an error message log missing what is the best method to achieve and add database again into availability group.
Note I cannot restore database on primary server as it is on production

I am in the process of rolling out a pair of SQL 2014 servers. I have setup an Availability Group, Listener and databases. It's my understanding that I will be giving the listener name to our developers so that they can do their work. In testing, I noticed that If I am using Studio Manager and connected to the the AG using the listener name, when I setup a user in security the user is only added to the active primary node. Is there a way to add a user to both servers in one shot instead of having to install on both servers?

I have 3 synchronous AlwaysON replicas: A, B and C. A is primary, B and C are secondary and both are set to Automatic recovery. How can I understand, which of them (B or C) will become primary when A goes offline? Well, Actually my final DB system should support following configuration:
1) Normally - A is primary B and C are sync secondary.
2) if A fails, B automatically becomes primary, C remains Sync secondary.
3) if A goes online, it becomes primary again
4) C becomes primary only after A and B fail (and there still should be cluster quorum!)
As I understood, first of all i should configure quorum the following way: A-0, B-1, C-1, folder-witness-1.
The problem, again, is: I cannot understand how to configure which replica becomes primary when AG fails over.

I have a web server that is on our DMZ subnet and I have a sql 2014 database server with Always on Availability Groups that is on our internal domain subnet.The failover cluster is on the internal domain subnet as well. I am trying to connect a web application, that is working off the .net 2.0 framework, to an SQL Server 2014 database using the Always on Availability Group Listener.
The connection strings works perfect with the named instance of the sql server but when I try to use the Availability Group listener it timed out. I did some research online and was led to believe that increasing the connection time would resolve it. I did that and got a different error pertaining to a successful connection but an error occurred during the login process (Provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
I just want to connect to an Availability Group Listener on the domain subnet. I have rules in the firewall to allow all services for the IP of the Listener. I switch back to the named instance of the same server and it works flawlessly. I have also connected to the Listener while running the application on the same subnet as the sql server without an issue. I have tried the IP instead of the Listeners name and still received the same error on the DMZ subnet. I'm running on Windows Server 2012 R2 on all servers.
The Web Server is using IIS 8.5..All Physical Machines except the replicas and webserver are virtual machines.All Static IPs involved.As mentioned all SQL Servers are 2014.

I have an active passive cluster on my primary Data center in NY and have a DR Active / passive SQL Cluster in TX. These are two separate clusters in the same domain using the same SQL server credentials.Both clusters host an active / passive SQL instance. Lets call it SQLNY(Primary) and SQLTX (DR). I want to enable always On Availability group within the two SQL Instances SQLNY and SQLTX. The listener will be SQLAG which will be used by the Application to connect to the SQL instance. Is there a practical way to implement this? This will not only give me instant fail over within the NY (Primary) but also give me the flexibility to fail over to TX. I am using SQL 2014 Enterprise Edition on both clusters.

I have a situation where I have two servers in SQL Server 2012 R2 AlwaysOn Availability Group. One is primary and the other one being secondary. I am only running SharePoint Database on it.I have run out of space on the primary server and about to run out of space at the secondary server. I have tried shrinking database transaction log files, but it returns an error that it cannot be shrunk as the database is in the AlwaysOn Availability Group.
Questions:
1. Several forums suggest that databases need to taken out of AlwaysOn Availability Group in order for the shrinking to work properply?
2. Would it have any impact on the database if it is taken out of availability group and then added back?

I have a SQL 2014 SP1 set of servers with two asynchronous copies of an availability group. One of the asynchronous sites is down and SQL can no longer replicate the changes. I need to understand how long SQL Server can continue this way before the secondary replica will no longer be able to catch up. I assume this is really tied to the transaction log on the primary replica but would like it clarified.

I'm just starting to work with AlwaysOn Availability and WSFC.
I have in my environment (in Azure) a DC, WSFC and to SQL instances, so I have 3 nodes in my Failover Cluster:
WSFC
SQL1
SQL2
If I simulate failure by shutting down one of the SQL boxes my Availability group seamlessly fails over to the other SQL instance - which is great.
However, I'm starting to look into the workings of the Quorum, my envt has the default settings and when I shutdown both of my SQL servers I expected the Cluster itself to go offline as 2 out of the 3 votes will be negative, but the Cluster is still up - Screenshot below when SQL1 and SQL2 are shutdown:
Going through the Wizard (but not changing anything) it shows following config:

We have a requirement to build SQL environment which will give us local high availability and disaster recovery to second site. We have two sites- Site A & Site B. We are planning to have two nodes at Site A and 2 nodes at Site B. All four nodes will be part of same Windows failover cluster. We will build two SQL Cluster, InstanceA will be clustered between the nodes at Site A Server and InstanceB will be clustered between the nodes at Site B, we will enable Always On Between the InstanceA and InstanceB and will be primary owner where data will be written on InstanceA and will be replicated to InstaceB. URL....Now we want we will have instanceC on the Site B and data will be writen from the application available on Site B, will be replicated to the instance on the Site A as replica.

We have a server A and a server B setup with SQL2014 High Availability - working fine.
I need to add an additional listener to our new DR site.
What is the best way to do this without impacting production - can I just add the additional replica from nodea as a secondary replica?

We currently have multiple instances of MS Sql 2000 and MS SQL 2005 installed on servers. When at other locations that uses different subnets only the default instance is available, published, broadcasted, selectable.
We have TCPIP and name pipes enabled for all instances. This seems to be a common problem for all locations.

why my listener has two dns entries? Shouldn't it only have the active node's address? I have the cluster RegisterAllProvidersIP set to 0. We have two synchronous local sql 2012 servers on windows 2012 r2 and one remote (different subnet) asynchronous node. Is it safe to manually delete the dns record that's pointing to our remote listener? Why did it add both of them?
