Good morning,
I'm a little confused with my Always On High Availability setup and cant understand what's happening.
I have a default SQL instance and have setup an Availability Group listener (AGLIST1). It has the IP address of 192.168.1.11 listening on port 1433. SQL is also setup to use the default port, 1433.
There is also a named instance on the same set of servers, and has an Availability Group listener configured (AGLIST2). This has the IP address 192.168.1.12, and is configured to port 1501.
As above, both the AG Listener AND SQL Server itself, are configured for port 1501.
My issue comes when connecting to the AGListeners.
I can connect to AGLIST1 quite happily. However, AGLIST2 requires a port specifying.
I presume that this is because I've set the Listener up to use port 1501, which means that I have to connect to AGLIST2,1501.
What I WANT to happen is that if I connect to AGLIST1 then it connects to the DEFAULT instance, and AGLIST2 will connect me directly to the named instance and not need a port defining. I cant figure out how to get this behaviour (or even if it's possible).
When trying to set up the listener, i cant have both listening on port 1433 which makes me think it isnt possible.
Regards,
Andy
