Syntax
Add-AzureRmSqlDatabaseToFailoverGroup
[-ServerName] <String>
[-FailoverGroupName] <String>

[-ResourceGroupName] <String>
[-DefaultProfile <IAzureContextContainer>]

Description
Adds one or more databases on a Azure SQL Database Failover Group's primary server to that Failover Group. The databases must not be secondary databases in existing replication relationships. The command will start geo-replication of any added databases to the Failover Group's secondary server. To obtain database objects with which to populate the '-Database' parameter, use (for example) the Get-AzureRmSqlDatabase cmdlet. The Failover Group's primary server must be used to execute the command.
Examples
Example 1
PS C:\> $failoverGroup = Get-AzureRmSqlDatabase -ResourceGroupName rg -ServerName primaryserver -DatabaseName db1 | Add-AzureRmSqlDatabaseToFailoverGroup -ResourceGroupName rg -ServerName primaryserver -FailoverGroupName fg
This command adds one database to a Failover Group by piping it in.
Example 2
PS C:\> $primaryServer = Get-AzureRmSqlServer -ResourceGroupName rg -ServerName primaryserver
PS C:\> $failoverGroup = $primaryServer | Add-AzureRmSqlDatabaseToFailoverGroup -FailoverGroupName fg -Database ($primaryServer | Get-AzureRmSqlDatabase)
This command adds all databases in a server to a Failover Group.
Example 3
PS C:\> $failoverGroup = Get-AzureRmSqlDatabaseFailoverGroup -ResourceGroupName rg -ServerName primaryserver -FailoverGroupName fg
PS C:\> $databases = Get-AzureRmSqlElasticPoolDatabase -ResourceGroupName rg -ServerName primaryserver -ElasticPoolName pool1
PS C:\> $failoverGroup = $failoverGroup | Add-AzureRmSqlDatabaseToFailoverGroup -Database $databases
This command adds all databases in an Elastic Pool to a Failover Group.
