2020-07-12 16:16:30.750 spid48s The state of the local availability replica in availability group ‘JBSAG’ has changed from ‘RESOLVING_NORMAL’ to ‘NOT_AVAILABLE’. The state changed because either the associated availability group has been deleted, or the local availability replica has been removed from another SQL Server instance. For more information, see the SQL Server error log or cluster log. If this is a Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) availability group, you can also see the WSFC management console.

-> The error message refers to a connection issue between the primary and secondaries.
-> Endpoint uses port 5022. Lets check if port 5022 is not blocked using telnet.
‘telnet’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
-> Execute below command in powershell to enable telnet.
Install-WindowsFeature -name Telnet-Client
-> Telnet is not working for port 5022. It proves that port 5022 is not open.
-> Let us create a firewall rule to open port 5022.
-> Open “Windows Firewall with Advanced Security” and open “Inbound Rules” on JBSAG1, JBSAG2 and JBSAG3.
-> Once the port 5022 is opened. Lets try joining the secondary database as below,
-> Checking the Status now,
-> Executing below query,
select r.replica_server_name, r.endpoint_url,
rs.connected_state_desc, rs.last_connect_error_description,
rs.last_connect_error_number, rs.last_connect_error_timestamp
from sys.dm_hadr_availability_replica_states rs join sys.availability_replicas r
on rs.replica_id=r.replica_id
where rs.is_local=1
GO
-> It works fine now.
