Add-DbaAgDatabase View Source Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net , Andreas Jordan (@JordanOrdix), ordix.de Windows, Linux, macOS On this page: Synopsis · Description · Syntax · Examples · Parameters · Outputs Synopsis Adds databases to an Availability Group with automated backup, restore, and synchronization handling.
Description Adds databases to an Availability Group and handles the complete process from backup through synchronization. This command eliminates the manual steps typically required when expanding Availability Groups with new databases, automatically managing seeding modes, backup/restore operations, and replica synchronization.
Add-DbaAgListener View Source Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Windows, Linux, macOS On this page: Synopsis · Description · Syntax · Examples · Parameters · Outputs Synopsis Creates a network listener endpoint for an Availability Group to provide client connectivity
Description Creates a network listener endpoint that provides a virtual network name and IP address for clients to connect to an Availability Group. The listener automatically routes client connections to the current primary replica, eliminating the need for applications to track which server is currently hosting the primary database.
Add-DbaDbMirrorMonitor View Source Chrissy LeMaire (@cl), netnerds.net Windows, Linux, macOS On this page: Synopsis · Description · Syntax · Examples · Parameters · Outputs Synopsis Creates a database mirroring monitor job that periodically updates the mirroring status for every mirrored database on the server instance.
Description Creates a database mirroring monitor job that periodically updates the mirroring status for every mirrored database on the server instance.
Basically executes sp_dbmmonitoraddmonitoring.
Disable-DbaAgHadr View Source Shawn Melton (@wsmelton), wsmelton.github.io Windows, Linux, macOS On this page: Synopsis · Description · Syntax · Examples · Parameters · Outputs Synopsis Disables High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR) capability on SQL Server instances.
Description Disables the HADR service setting at the SQL Server instance level, effectively removing the instance’s ability to participate in Availability Groups. This is commonly needed when decommissioning servers from AGs, troubleshooting AG setup issues, or converting instances back to standalone operation after removing them from Availability Groups.
Enable-DbaAgHadr View Source Shawn Melton (@wsmelton), wsmelton.github.io Windows, Linux, macOS On this page: Synopsis · Description · Syntax · Examples · Parameters · Outputs Synopsis Enables HADR service setting on SQL Server instances to allow Availability Group creation.
Description Configures the High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR) service setting on SQL Server instances, which is a required prerequisite before you can create Availability Groups. This setting must be enabled at the instance level and requires a service restart to take effect.

Get-DbaAgBackupHistory View Source Chrissy LeMaire (@cl) , Stuart Moore (@napalmgram), Andreas Jordan Windows, Linux, macOS On this page: Synopsis · Description · Syntax · Examples · Parameters · Outputs Synopsis Retrieves backup history from msdb across all replicas in a SQL Server Availability Group
Description Queries the msdb backup history tables across all replicas in an Availability Group and aggregates the results into a unified view. This function automatically discovers all replicas (either through a listener or by querying individual replicas) and combines their backup history data, which is essential since backups can be taken from any replica but are only recorded in the local msdb.
Get-DbaAgDatabase View Source Shawn Melton (@wsmelton), wsmelton.github.io Windows, Linux, macOS On this page: Synopsis · Description · Syntax · Examples · Parameters · Outputs Synopsis Retrieves availability group database information and synchronization status from SQL Server instances.
Description Retrieves detailed information about databases participating in SQL Server availability groups, including their synchronization state, failover readiness, and replica-specific status. This function queries the availability group configuration from each SQL Server instance to return database-level health and status information that varies depending on whether the replica is primary or secondary.
Get-DbaAgDatabaseReplicaState View Source Andreas Jordan (@andreasjordan) Windows, Linux, macOS On this page: Synopsis · Description · Syntax · Examples · Parameters · Outputs Synopsis Retrieves the runtime state of databases participating in availability groups across all replicas.
Description Retrieves comprehensive health monitoring information about databases participating in SQL Server availability groups, similar to the SSMS AG Dashboard. This function returns detailed database replica state information for all replicas in the availability group.
Get-DbaAgHadr View Source Shawn Melton (@wsmelton), wsmelton.github.io Windows, Linux, macOS On this page: Synopsis · Description · Syntax · Examples · Parameters · Outputs Synopsis Retrieves the High Availability Disaster Recovery (HADR) service status for SQL Server instances.
Description Checks whether Availability Groups are enabled at the service level on SQL Server instances. This is a prerequisite for creating and managing Availability Groups, as HADR must be enabled before you can configure any AG functionality.
