Overview

Upon accessing the Database Manager on the SolarWinds Platform poller server, you may receive the error:

The target database, ’SolarWindsOrion’, is participating in an availability group and is currently not accessible for queries. Either data movement is suspended or the availability replica is not enabled for read access. To allow read-only access to this and other databases in the availability group, enable read access to one or more secondary availability replicas in the group. For more information, see the ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP statement in SQL Server Books Online.



This can be bypassed in most cases.
