Adding a 2nd AG to AlwaysOn failing on Listener setup

  • Using SQL 2014 Enterprise, for my AlwaysOn Availability Group -- I have everything setup and running fine on a 2-node cluster w/ 1 AG pointing to 1 Listener. (AG1 includes 2 databases called DB1 and DB2)

    Now, I want to add a 2nd AG as our Vendor wants to isolate the DB's into 2 distinct AoAG's  (DB1, DB2 in AG1 -- and -- DB3, DB4 in AG2)  

    I'm receiving an error when I setup the 2nd AG..  On that 4th tab, Add Listener.   ERROR: "The WSFC resource control API returned error code 5057"

    Is it possible to add a 2nd AG using the same listener as the 1st AG?

    You cannot use same listener.

  • thanks for your reply.   I requested 2 new IP's (as we use multi-subnet failover from 1 data center to another w/ D-DNS) and your info set me straight.  My 2nd Listener now has a unique Listener name w/ 2 new, additional IP's defined to it.. All is working fine.. Thanks again!
