Opening Up Availability Groups

You've made it to mailout. Congrats! This is the home stretch.

First, let's open up the group that you just created so that you can send out an availability request to these folks.

Select the check box in the right hand corner of the Availability Group and then click Open avail. group in the right hand menu.

You'll be prompted to confirm that you want to open the availability group. To continue, click Yes, open it.

Congratulations, your availability group is now open.
