Hi. I need to configure an Active Active PS configuration. I have installed the managament node and connect it to external SQL database and everything is OK for this. Now I start to configure the worker node and I need to connect this nod to the same SQL database but after I put in the credentials and the crypto key from managament node I am getting this error when click on test > Connection test failed. Could not connect to existing database. Can anyone, please, help me with this...what is the problem, what is the right way to configure an Active/active configuration 1managament/1workernode.

I saw that there was no answer to your last question. I wanted to confirm, that SQL Always On is indeed a requirement for an Active/Active environment.

The steps are correct for Active Active setup, I would assume that the crypto key may have a problem. Try restarting the Management node and ensure that the webconsole can load successfully. Then try downloading the crypto key from the Management node appliance page again.

Thanks,I tryed that but no success for now.

One thing,maybe it is important. Do I need to have SQL Always on for this active - active config or it is enough to have a simple SQL 2019 Standard external server.

For managament node I choose Database Server in a Multi-Node Deployment from solution and for worker node I choose SQL-less Appliance like it is written in BT knowledge article
