Connection times out when you use AlwaysOn availability group listener with MultiSubnetFailover parameter

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

When you try to connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2012 through an AlwaysOn availability group listener from a client application, you may experience a logon time-out error message.

For example, when you use SqlCmd command, you may receive the following error message:

Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.
[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection

When you use a Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5-based or Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0-based application by using the .Net Framework Data provider for SQL Server, you may receive the following error message:

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning()

at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.Connect(ServerInfo serverInfo, SqlInternalConnectionTds connHandler, Boolean ignoreSniOpenTimeout, Int64 timerExpire, Boolean encrypt, Boolean trustServerCert, Boolean integratedSecurity, Boolean withFailover)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnectionTds.AttemptOneLogin(ServerInfo serverInfo, String newPassword, Boolean ignoreSniOpenTimeout, TimeoutTimer timeout, SqlConnection owningObject, Boolean withFailover)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnectionTds.LoginNoFailover(ServerInfo serverInfo, String newPassword, Boolean redirectedUserInstance, SqlConnection owningObject, SqlConnectionString connectionOptions, TimeoutTimer timeout)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnectionTds.OpenLoginEnlist(SqlConnection owningObject, TimeoutTimer timeout, SqlConnectionString connectionOptions, String newPassword, Boolean redirectedUserInstance)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlInternalConnectionTds..ctor(DbConnectionPoolIdentity identity, SqlConnectionString connectionOptions, Object providerInfo, String newPassword, SqlConnection owningObject, Boolean redirectedUserInstance)


Note If you increase the login time-out to 30 seconds, the client application takes approximately 20 seconds to connect successfully.

These symptoms occur when the following conditions are true:
  • Your availability group is defined in a multi-subnet.
  • You specified the MultiSubnetFailover parameter when you connect.
  • You have an active Transport Driver Interface (TDI) filter driver that is installed on the client application workstation.

Cause

This issue occurs because the Tdx.sys driver does not handle the Closesocket() function correctly when the function is called in the middle of a TCP/IP handshake.

File information
The global version of this hotfix installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes
Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.
  • The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
    VersionProductMilestoneService branch
    6.1.760
    1.22xxx    		Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2SP1LDR
  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.

Workaround

To work around this issue, use one of the following methods:
  • Increase your application’s login time-out to 30 seconds.
  • The TDI feature is deprecated in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or a later version of Windows. You can use the Windows Filtering Platform (WFP)-based drivers instead. Contact the vendor of the installed TDI filter driver to request information about upgrades to the product that implement the new Windows Filtering Platform. Upgrade the product, if it is possible.
  • Replace the TDI by using a comparable product that has implemented the Windows Filtering Platform.
  • Set the RegisterAllProvidersIP property to 0 for the availability group listener resource in the Windows cluster. When the RegisterAllProvidersIP property is set to 0, you do not have to specify the MultiSubnetFailover parameter. For more information about this workaround, go to the following MSDN website:
    Create or Configure an Availability Group Listener (SQL Server)
