- Removing a failover group for a single or pooled database doesn't stop replication, and it doesn't delete the replicated database. You'll need to manually stop geo-replication and delete the database from the secondary server if you wanted to add a single or pooled database back to a failover group after it's been removed. Failing to do either might result in an error similar to `The operation cannot be performed due to multiple errors` when attempting to add the database to the failover group.

- Failover group name is subject to [naming restrictions](/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/resource-name-rules).
511511
- When creating a new failover group, or when adding databases to an existing failover group, you can _only_ designate the databases as [standby replicas](standby-replica-how-to-configure.md) _when using the Azure portal_ - Azure PowerShell and the Azure CLI are not currently available.

- The Azure portal doesn't support creating failover groups across different subscriptions. Instead, use [PowerShell cmdlets to programmatically manage failover groups](#programmatically-manage-failover-groups).

Failover groups can also be managed programmatically by using Azure PowerShell, Azure CLI, and REST API. The following tables describe the set of commands available. Failover groups include a set of Azure Resource Manager APIs for management, including the [Azure SQL Database REST API](/rest/api/sql/) and [Azure PowerShell cmdlets](/powershell/azure/). These APIs require the use of resource groups and support Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC). For more information on how to implement access roles, see [Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC)](/azure/role-based-access-control/overview).
