sys.availability_databases_cluster (Transact-SQL)

Contains one row for each availability database on the instance of SQL Server that is hosting an availability replica for any AlwaysOn availability group in the Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) cluster, regardless of whether the local copy database has been joined to the availability group yet.

Note

When a database is added to an availability group, the primary database is automatically joined to the group. Secondary databases must be prepared on each secondary replica before they can be joined to the availability group.
