Hi,
I've got a problem that's a lot bigger then my knowledge so I hope someone can help me. We had to restore a server pair within an always-on cluster. When we brought up the servers, we saw that the Availability Groups were not listing in SQL Server Management Studio, but the listener seemed to still be working. We looked in the MS cluster manager and saw that the AG was still listed and it had its resources attached. It was on, green and running.
So I'm curious how the listener is still working, and is it possible to create a new AG within ssms and have it point to the cluster resource?
Thanks for any help.
