Symptoms

Assume that you create more than one availability group in Microsoft SQL Server 2014 or 2016, and each node owned one AG group. When you shut down or power off one node suddenly, and you click failover on an availability group that's in the resolving state, in this situation, you cannot select any replica in grid, and the Current Primary Replica is wrong.
