Hello, I am attempting to create a SQL Server Distributed Availability Group in my Azure EC3 environment. When I attempt to alter my Distributed AG on AG2 using the below command, I get an error as shown below the command.
```
ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [WOASQLDISTAG]JOINAVAILABILITY GROUP ON'WAOAG1Hfv96xWgv' WITH(LISTENER_URL = 'TCP://WAOAG121jAavqBc.WAOAG1.com:5022',AVAILABILITY_MODE = ASYNCHRONOUS_COMMIT,FAILOVER_MODE = MANUAL,SEEDING_MODE = MANUAL),'WAOAG2cJ22S7mQO' WITH(LISTENER_URL = 'TCP://WAOAG22peucJsSD.WAOAG1.com:5022',AVAILABILITY_MODE = ASYNCHRONOUS_COMMIT,FAILOVER_MODE = MANUAL,SEEDING_MODE = MANUAL);GO
```
Error:
Msg 19511, Level 16, State 0, Line 8
Cannot join distributed availability group 'WOASQLDISTAG'. The local availability group 'WAOAG2cJ22S7mQO' contains one or more databases. Remove all the databases or create an empty availability group to join a distributed availability group.
I use an AWS Launch Wizard to create this environment. There are 4 nodes, 2 for each AG.
Any ideas on how to overcome this error? I have searched the internet and have had no luck with existing suggestions.
Thank you,
David

The error message is quite clear on that, you have a database which is already part of the availability group, to setup DAG's all the groups need to be empty, then add the databases after the DAG has been formed.

Are you in Azure, or AWS?

If you assassinate a DBA, would you pull a trigger?

I used an AWS Launch wizard to create the AlwaysOn Availability groups. AG1 and AG1. They are both on the same VCP and share subnets. After the 2 AGs are created, is there something I need to do prior to running the scripts below? The second one is failing.

CREATE AVAILABILITY GROUP [distributedag]  
   WITH (DISTRIBUTED)   
   AVAILABILITY GROUP ON  
      'WSQLAOAG1Io0hjh' WITH    
      (   
         LISTENER_URL = 'TCP://WSQLAOAG1gDvCxT.wsqlaoag.com:5022',    
         AVAILABILITY_MODE = ASYNCHRONOUS_COMMIT,   
         FAILOVER_MODE = MANUAL,   
         SEEDING_MODE = AUTOMATIC   
      ),   
      'WSQLAOAG2Np5ptD' WITH    
      (   
         LISTENER_URL = 'TCP://WSQLAOAG1JeODbS.wsqlaoag.com:5022',   
         AVAILABILITY_MODE = ASYNCHRONOUS_COMMIT,   
         FAILOVER_MODE = MANUAL,   
         SEEDING_MODE = AUTOMATIC   
      );    
GO
