- The output shown in `sys.dm_hadr_automatic_seeding` on the primary replica of the second availability group will display a `current_state` of FAILED with the reason "Seeding Check Message Timeout."

- Seeding also has different behavior with distributed availability groups. For seeding to begin on the second replica, you must issue the command `ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [AGName] GRANT CREATE ANY DATABASE` command on the replica. Although this condition is still true of any secondary replica that participates in the underlying availability group, the primary replica of the second availability group already has the right permissions to allow seeding to begin after it is added to the distributed availability group.

A distributed availability group is a SQL Server-only construct, and it isn't seen in the underlying WSFC The following figure shows two different WSFCs (CLUSTER_A and CLUSTER_B), each with its own availability groups. Only AG1 in CLUSTER_A and AG2 in CLUSTER_B are discussed here.
