Adding the Listener
After creating the AlwaysOn Availability Group, you should have a new Role in the Failover Cluster Manager. Right Click the Role > Add Resource > Client Access Point
Give the listener a hostname. This will also be a computer AD object. Click Next
See the confirmation. Click Next
Click Finish
Right Click IP Address: Address on Cluster Network 1 > Properties
Select Static IP address and add an address within the same subnet, but different from the Cluster IP chosen previously.
Bring the Role online. Right Click Name: > Bring Online
The Role is now online. If this step fails or if the Name: does not come online, then you did not set the permissions correctly here: AD Delegated Permissions. If you did set the permissions properly, double check the OU. The OU with the permissions NEEDS to be the SAME OU as the cluster hostname.
We need to edit a dependency, so click on the other resource > Properties
Click on the Dependencies tab and ensure that the resource is the same as Name:
Right click the role > Stop Role. Wait for it to stop
Right click the role > Start Role. Wait for it to start
Once roles have been started, you should see the Listeners on each SQL Server Availability Group.
