Hello,
I have a basic availability group on SQL Server 2016 Standard with 2 nodes. Here are the names of my nodes & cluster:
- BAG1
- BAG2
- BAGCluster
I can get the availability group setup and it can replicate properly from BAG1 to BAG2.
If the cluster role is owned by BAG1 I can connect to the SQL instance via the cluster name (BAGCluster\MyInstance) from BAG1.
If the cluster role is owned by BAG1 I can't connect to the SQL instance via the cluster name (BAGCluster\MyInstance) from BAG2.
From BAG2 though I can connect to the SQL instance via: BAG1\MyInstance when BAG1 is the owner.
This is all running on Azure VM's. Does anyone know what may be causing this connection issue?
Thanks.
