I am getting the following error while joining the secondary replica.
Msg 47106, Level 16, State 3
Cannot join availability group 'sales'. Download configuration timeout. Please check primary configuration, network connectivity and firewall setup, then retry the operation.
/etc/hosts are updated. My hostnames are of length 7 characters, where as FQDN name is <node1>.local.cloudapp.azurestack.external
Is there any restriction on FQDN length ? Is there any other reason Join can fail ?
