Hi All,
I am facing an issue while adding "Replica" in Always On. Please suggest me on below scenario.
Windows Cluster Name: WINCLS
SQL Cluster Name (NW Name): SQLCluster
1. I have configured two node Windows Failover cluster with shared storage ( Host Name: NodeA & Host Name: NodeB). The windows Cluster name is : WINCLS
2. Performed SQL Cluster installation on both nodes and SQL cluster name (NW name) is : SQLCluster
Then I have Started creating new availability groups on NodeA (primary node).
In "Adding a Replica to a Database" wizard, I need to add secondary replica. Can you please tell me which SQL instance name or format of SQL instance I have to select here to connect SQL cluster name (NW name)?
I have only one SQL Cluster instance in my network that is SQLCluster. I have selected SQLCluster as a secondary replica in "Adding a Replica to a Database" wizard but I got error (already selected error....).
Do I need to perform one more stand alone SQL installation with named SQL instance on NodeB?
