Hello,
We have a 3 node cluster, 2 nodes local and the third in our DR center. We are testing the AlwaysOn functionality. We perfomed a crash test of the local nodes once and were able to bring everything up on the C node in the remote data center. Upon the second test of exactly the same parameters, we cannot bring up the C node in the remote data center.
This is sql server 2012 sp2, on a windows 2012R2 server.
When running "ALTER AVAILIBILITY GROUP [NAME] FORCE_FAILOVER_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS" we receive the following error:
Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot alter the availability group 'OPS – Agrp', because it does not exist or you do not have permission.
The Ops - AGrp cluster resource is offline. Our errors in the event viewer are not descriptive - 1205 and 1069.
Automatic failover to C node? No. Synchronous? Yes. Is_failover_ready? = 1
Any ideas? Any thoughts appreciated.
