Launch Database Mirroring Monitor Is Not An Option

May 16, 2006

Good morning all...

I would like use the "Database Mirroring Monitor" to track what's going on.

All three of my servers have SQL Server 2005 x64 edition installed with SP1.

Server A is mirroring to Server C

Server B is mirroring to Server C

Following the instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365786(d=ide).aspx:

On Server A and C, "Launch Database Mirroring Monitor" appears.

On Server B, "Launch Database Mirroring Monitor" does NOT appear.

Is there something I have to do to get this tool installed on the machine, or it is an automatic thing?

Thanks!

Launch Mirror Monitor Option Is Not Available

Nov 29, 2007

I have configured a Mirror with Server A as Principal, Server B as Mirror. I can Remote Desktop into both machines and see the Launch Mirror Monitor option in the Tasks list from the Object Explorer. I do not, however, have the option when logged in from my desktop Object Explorer. In each instance, I log into OE using the SA login. Both machines are on sp2. I have seen others post similar problems but have not found anyone with a resolution. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Database Mirroring Monitor

Jun 15, 2006

Hi there!

I've some trouble with monitoring a database mirroring session. I am testing a lot configuration possiblities, and i use the database mirroring monitor to view the mirroring states.

But in some (most) of my configurations, i only get following informations in the database mirroring monitor:

Oldest unsend transaction, Unrestored Log, Current Restore rate and the Witness Adress. I am working in High safety mode with automatic failover.

Question 1: What are the reasons that all the other indicators (Unsend log, Current send rate, Mirror commit overhead) are not shown?

Question 2: In the moment, i am using certificates for the mirroring communication. I think, my client (who the database mirroring monitor is running) connects with the usual windows authentication to the server and only selects from sys.database_mirroring or something else. So there is no need to create inbound certificates on the partners for the client who is connecting with the mirroring monitor?

Database Mirroring Monitor Not Working For One Database

Apr 2, 2008

I set up a new mirror server. Everything is good except that the Database Mirroring Monitor is not working for one of the databases. In the monitor the principal data is showing up as blank

If I look at dbm_monitor_data on the principal most of the data columns (e.g. Send_queue_size) are null where as they have data for the other databases.


Both servers are SQL Server 9.0.2047 Enterprise Edition.


Any idea what might be going on here?


Thanks in advance.

To Configure Database Mirroring-Dont Get Mirror Option In TASK

Jul 7, 2006

To configure database mirroring






After connecting to the principal server instance, in Object Explorer, click the server name to expand the server tree.


Expand Databases, and select the database to be mirrored.


Right-click the database, select Tasks, and then click Mirror. This opens the Mirroring page of the Database Properties dialog box.


To begin configuring mirroring, click the Configure Security button to launch the Configure Database Mirroring Security Wizard.



but i do not see any "Mirror" Option in the "Tasks" menu.

Why ?

DB Mirroring Monitor And Querying The Other Db?

Apr 13, 2006

So I successfully got the mirroring to run and now I'd like to see what's going on between the two servers ( i'm not using a witness). I launch the Database Mirroring Monitor and its showing the two servers but when I go to the history column I'm not seeing any data movement. I've done a an update on a db with 1500 rows so I was expecting to see this show up.



Also, is there anyway to query the database thats acting as the mirrored db?



thanks

DB Mirroring Monitor Job - Purge Old Data?

Dec 14, 2006

Hi,

Not sure if this question makes sense, but is it necessary to purge old data in msdb tables used by the db mirroring monitor job?

I'm just wondering if an insert into the data table every minute of the day would still be needed a month from now. I'm thinking this data would be useful for the purpose of "alerts" and to have access to its recent history, but other than that, is it recommended (or necessary)? Would these records keep accumulating until manually purged?

TIA.

Server A = primary SQL DBs (mirroring origination)

For database mirroring a witness is required.
Can the witness live in another instance of SQL on server B?

Mirroring :: Database Mirroring Changes In Application

Oct 12, 2015

Using SQL Server 2008, we would like propose mirroring between two servers of a critical database. Since we initiate, may require to clarify on its purpose and also required changes from application end.Any changes required from OS Level? (I believe both servers IP or Host name should be added in host entries. Mirroring ports should be allowed/open including Principal and mirror server IP Addresses): Windows Team.Any changes required from Application? (Instance name, authentication: user name and its password should be added in web config files): Application Team.Any changes required from Network Team?Also for mirroring both the principal and mirror servers should be with same version, does it only mean SQL Server 2008 versions are enough or does it also mean to say build numbers 10.00.4000 should also be same.URL....

Setup And Upgrade :: Activity Monitor Shuts Down If Connect To Instance Its Monitoring With Performance Monitor

Aug 19, 2015

If I'm on a remote machine, meaning a computer not in the WSFC cluster, and I open SSMS 2014, point it to a SQL Instance, and open activity monitor:

1.  I get all the panes and charts except % Processor Time.

2.  Then, if I authenticate to the cluster's domain by mapping a drive with valid domain credentials, I'm free to put performance counters in the Perfmon - - - but SQL Activity Monitor shuts down with“The Activity Monitor is unable to execute queries against server SQL-V01INSTANCE1..Activity monitor for this instance will be placed into a paused state.Use the context menu in the overview pane to resume the activity monitor.

Additional information:  Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))(Mscorlib)”

3.  Of course, the Activity monitor can't be resumed via the context menu. Removing counters and closing the perfmon do not work.  I dropped the mapped drive and rebooted the machine.  That brought back 95% of the information in the Activity monitor.

4.  Further experimentation showed that any mapping of drive shares present on the SQL Server to the computer running SSMS cut off functionality of the 'overview' pane in the remote machine's SQL Activity monitor -- the monitor that had been trying to watch the server offering the shares.

Looking For SQL To Monitor Database Size

Jan 21, 2002

Hello all!

I am looking for a way to monitor the space remaining inside of a database and to receive an e-mail alert when that space gets below a certain threshold.

What I want to do is schedule a job to run every hour or so and check to see if available space in my databases is below about 300 megs. If it is I would then like to be sent an e-mail to my cell phone. I have jobs like this already running on my Oracle databases but am not sure of which tables to query for this in the SQL Server environment.

Does anyone know which table(s) would need to be queried to retrieve this info or, better yet, have a script which already written?

Thanks in Advance!

Sql Scripts To Monitor Another SQL Database.

Jul 20, 2005

Greetings All, I was hoping that some of you might be aware of anyfree scripts that were written explicitly for the purpose ofmonitoring a SQL Server database. I want to be able to determineup/down events, Error Log updates, Long running Transactions,Deadlocks, etc. My plan is to use a central SQL Server database as arepository that will query (via t-sql) the target SQL Server boxes forthe events listed above. If one of the events falls outside of adefined range I will use xp_sendmail to alert me via my pager. I havebeen looking at third party tools like BMC Patrol, Quest Foglight, andEmbarcadero Performance Center and although they are very nice theyare also very EXPENSIVE. I am looing for a cheap solution. Any helpwould be greatly appreciated.Louis

Simple Database - What Is Best Option?

Jan 31, 2006

Hi,

I am writing a simple program which runs on users xp machines and accesses a simple table on an NT Server.

In otherwords, the database consists of just a single table with perhaps 4 fields and a maximum of 200 records, with low transaction activity (users periodically update their status or check on other users' statuses).

Do I need to use SQL????

What is my best option for such a simple table / database.

Your help would be appreciated.

How To Monitor Failed Sql Server 2005 Jobs When Database Mail Is Disabled

Sep 14, 2007


We have our SQL Server 2005 hosted at a datacenter and have only SS Management Studio access (no term serv, no event log, etc.). Also, our hosting company has disabled the Database Mail feature. We have over 60 jobs running on a minute/hourly/daily basis that are critical for our business. It is super important for us to know if and when a job failed.

Given this scenario, how do you suggest we implement monitoring/notification of failed jobs?

FILENAME Option In CREATE DATABASE Statement

Nov 9, 2004

Hi,

I have a problem with CREATE DATABASE statement, since it needs to specify the absolut path for a file in the FILENAME= option. I would need instead a relative path, i.e. only the name of the file because the script that launch this SQL command is dependant on the installation path decided by the user, during the installation.
Is there a way to pass to the FILENAME only the name of the file?
Hope to have been clear :-)

Thanks in advance

Can't Change The Auto Growth Option On My Database

Aug 3, 2007



I'm currently using SQL Server 2005. Before I have set my database on unrestricted auto growth. But today, I have noticed that the Log file has been set to limit its growth to 2,097,152 MB. I have 160GB space for my log files, I just want to maximize the space for logs in my hard drive.

When I try to change the settings back to auto growth it still keeps on returning to its previous setting it is still set on 2,097,152 MB. What I did was :
Right Click on the Database - Properties - Files - Click the (...) - set the auto growth option to unrestricted - Click Ok
But when I checked log file, it is still set on 2,097,152MB.


Can some one help me change the settings of my Database.
