I have an environment with multiple AGs on a single server and they encounter a split situation in which some end up on one node and some end up on the other node (in a failover event, perhaps). When maintenance tasks (the basic gamut of reindexing, update, etc.) execute on these nodes, they will only effectively perform operations on databases which are read_write on the primary side of their respective AGs. This causes the job to fail since the databases are read_only on the secondaries. Therefore, in a split AG situation, both nodes will always show failed maintenance in the job history.



Needless to say, it is difficult to monitor these clusters. I have proposed two possible solutions to management. We either script the maintenance tasks using DBCC commands for the individual databases based on their updateability properties, or we simply limit ourselves to one AG per server. They don't like either solution. Does anyone know of a way I can keep the built-in SQL Server maintenance tasks and have them target only the primary databases?
