One day we got a request asking for upgrade present sql server environment (Microsoft SQL Server 2014 SP1) to Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (SP2 CU11). So we followed the below process. And the environment is in Always on. So we have decided first we will do the patching in Secondary replica, then we can do it in Primary replica.

But don't do that.We are not able to restart the services and it is throwing above error in the event viewer.  So to bring the services up we used -T902 trace flag in the startup parameters of sql server servi...
