Backups for newly added SQL Server 2017 AlwaysOn Availability Group, fail with the below error in the NetVault logs:
Error 2019/06/25 08:37:54 1731 Data Plugin MSSQL17 ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]
Context:
"Configuration data for the availability group with Windows Server Failover Clustering is not found in the data store. The availability group may have been dropped, or a previous CREATE AVAILABILITY GROUP or DROP AVAILABILITY GROUP operation has failed. Please use DROP AVAILABILITY GROUP command to clean up previously failed operations before retrying the current operation."
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem with SQL Server 2017 CU15 Always On Availability Groups.
- Update patch from Microsofts website:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4506633
- Confirm backups can now run.
