I was trying to use the name of the availability group listener from SSMS and it is not letting me to login. The group listener got created without any error but it simply wont let me use the name of the group listener or the ip address that I assigned for it to connect from SSMS.
Instances:
sqltest1\test1
sqltest2\test2
availability group listener name: SQLHAG
port 9001
I am using SQLHAG as server name with windows authentication from SSMS and it errors out the below message:
Cannot connect to SQLHAG.
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
Is this supported? Thanks for the replies.
