Questions on AlwaysoNAvailability groups

  • I have Configured always on Availability groups between Server 1 Primary Replica(Active), server 2 Secondary Replica(Passive) on top of WCFS...

    Listener Name: AGListner( CLIENTS/APPLICATIONS connect using this Name)

    Testing Scenario 1(on Virtual Servers):

    I have turned network down on Server 1(primary) , then secondary server (Passive ) one came ONLINE and this is now the primary and i was able to connect to AGListner...COOL

    Testing Scenario 2(on Virtual Servers):

    now When i try to SHUTDOWN/POWER OFF PRIMARY(current Active server),failover happened to Secondary successfully but lost cluster and lost AGListner and was not able to connect ....now applications which are trying to connect using AGListenr name will loose all connections

    so, my question is does AlwaysOn Availability does not support Server SHUTDOWN/POWER OFF?or is there a way to resolve this? or am i doing wrong somewhere?

    Please let me know

  • My Bad.. i did a validation check on server 1 and 2 failover cluster and it is working now ..never mind

    Did you re enable the public\client network before the failover back to the original Primary?
