|---|---|
Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup DAG1 | Format-List |
|
EXAMPLE 2
This example displays the properties of the DAG DAG2. Because it includes the Status parameter, the task also displays real-time status information for DAG2, such as the current list of operational servers, and the server currently holding the Primary Active Manager role. In addition, several properties of the DAG, such as the witness server and directory configuration information are also displayed. The output for the command is formatted as a list.

Detailed Description
In addition to obtaining a list of DAG members, the Get-DatabaseAvailabilityGroup cmdlet can also be used to view real-time status information about a DAG, such as:
- OperationalServers
- PrimaryActiveManager
- ReplicationPort
- NetworkNames
- WitnessShareInUse
Use the Status parameter with the command to include the values for these listed properties. Without the Status parameter, the values returned for these properties are blank.
