 The operation timed out. Verify that the local Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) node is online. 
 Then verify that the availability group resource exists in the WSFC cluster. If the problem persists, you might need to drop the availability group and create it again.

Problem:-

  AlwaysOn failover gets fail from Node-1 to Node-3(where Node-3 is in multisubnet  environment.


Resolution:-
This error is usually caused due to the lack of permission for [NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM] account to create the high-availability group. Running the below SQL script in all the replica secondaries fixed this issue.
Hence in order to fix this issue, give [NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM] to sysadmin privilege.

 go to the 3rd node and execute below command.

 ALTER SERVER ROLE [sysadmin] ADD MEMBER [NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM]

GO

 ---> The issue will get resolved. 

 Then you will start getting this error.

Resolution:-

 In order to solve this issue, make sure you do not have IP conflicts among the nodes and Listeners.
This Error mostly comes when Ip address conflicts occur.
so go to windows Cluster Admin and change the IP address of 2nd listener. here my earlier Listener Ip address was 192.168.2.13, which i changed to 192.168.2.200.
after doing this Issue resolved.
























Thanks for reading, Hope this will help someone in resolving this issue, Kindly give a feedback..
