Symptoms

Assume that you have an Always On Availability Group (AG) that contains many databases in Microsoft SQL Server 2016. Then, you set the Availability Group to use synchronous commit availability mode together with automatic failover mode.

In this scenario, if a failover occurs, some databases may stop synchronizing. Additionally, error messages that resemble the following might be logged in the SQL Server error log on the secondary replica:

Date/Time    Always On Availability Groups connection with primary database established for secondary database DatabaseName on the availability replica InstanceName with Replica ID: ReplicaID. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.

Date/Time The connection to the primary replica is not active.  The command cannot be processed.

Date/Time Error: 35250, Severity: 16, State: 11

Moreover, error messages that resemble the following are continually logged in the SQL Server error log on the primary replica. This may result in a large log file:

Date/Time Always On Availability Groups connection with secondary database established for primary database DatabaseName on the availability replica InstanceName with Replica ID: ReplicaID.  This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
