Availability Group failover stuck in Resolving State I am setting up a lab for testing automatic failover for SQL Server

I have a 2 node WSFC (SQL-CLUSTER-TEST-01) with the nodes


SQL-TEST-01
SQL-TEST-02


A listener SQL-HA-GRP-01

My initial testing is to just power off either of the nodes (virtual machines). It it failing correctly in one direction - SQL-TEST-01 to SQL-TEST-02. But when SQL-TEST-02 is the primary and I pull the power on it, the availability group goes into a permanent "resolving" state which I can only resolve by powering on SQL-TEST-02.

When I check the logs or try to view the properties of the availability group it says the quorum was lost. 

What am I missing?
Were you able to get this sorted out?

If not , try the following:


Go to the Failover Cluster Manager ( cluadmin.msc from Run).
Expand the Cluster name ( Expand meaning click on the + sign ).
Expand Services and Applications. You should now see your Availability Group listed there.
R-click on that and go to Properties.
In the General Tab you should see Preferred Owners.


Since you've mentioned this to be a lab environment, play around with the options ( by selecting both or alternating selection of preferred owners ) and see where that gets you. Also the tab next to General would specify if you need it to fail back. Post back with results.
