  • Because also some (??) production applications were suffering this unavailability, I faileover the instance and everithing worked back just fine !.

    After reboot of the node ( because all instances of that node were unavailable for SSMS connections ! ) and failback of the instances, connections worked fine again.

    Did anyone also experience this ?
