Mirroring :: Setting Up Mirroring With Different Vlans?

Sep 15, 2015

I need to set up asyncronous data replication across two clustered instances of SQL 2012 across 2 Datacenters. Both the datacenters have a common domain however the vlans are different. There are only 3 small databases on the primary instance.

any issue in setting up mirroring in this case as vlans are different.

Operating system is Windows 2012.

Setting Up Logshipping With Mirroring

Jun 21, 2007

In my environment Mirroring is set up and the Principal/Primary and secondary are set up as well. I am having trouble added my mirror as a logshipping primary.

BOL says to create the Mirror/Primary I need to use the Transact-SQL commands. But sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database checks to make sure the status of the database is "Online". So when I run sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database to add the mirror db as a Primary I get the following error:

Msg 32008, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_add_log_shipping_primary_database, Line 58
Database TestMirror is not ONLINE. Cannot proceed with log shipping primary processing.

Am I doing something wrong? I am following the BOL page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187016.aspx .

Database Mirroring | Can Witness Live On Mirroring Server?

May 3, 2008



Server A = primary SQL DBs (mirroring origination)
Server B = failover SQL DBs (mirroring destination)

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

Setting Thresholds For Mirroring Alerts

Dec 31, 2007

Hi all,


I have configured some Mirroring alerts based on Micosoft's documents. Mirroring.


If you can help me in setting some of the "Thresholds" for the Mirroiring alerts. That will be helpful, because i didnt see anywhere about the actual threshold limits setting for alerts ( In Production). Any approx. also OK.


At Principal:

(a) Unsent Log = ------ KB

(b) Oldest Unsent Transaction = ---- Minutes



At Mirror:

(c) Unrestored Log = ---- KB.

(d) Mirror Commit Overhead = --- MilliSeconds



Thanks again.

SQL Server 2008 :: Database Mirroring Timeout Setting?

Oct 20, 2011

I have setup database mirroring with witness server. To prevent unnecessary failover because of network slow or other issue, I changed the timeout setting as

ALTER DATABASE <Database Name>
SET PARTNER TIMEOUT 120

Which I understand if connection is broken between principal and mirror, principal database will wait for 120 second and after that only automatic failover will happen.

If this is true, it does not happen in my case. Failover happens before120 second.

Where To Find Detailed Error Report When Setting Up Mirroring Fails

Dec 14, 2006

I had a problem with mirroring that I only was able to resolve when I attempted to replicate instead. Replication gave me an error message that expained the problem; mirroring simply failed.

Is there any place where mirroring logs the details of what it is doing & why it is failing?

BTW, the problem was that the server name was changed after SQL was installed. Although i knew this, the forums indicated taht SQL 2005 automatically picks up the new name after it is restarted. This apparently is not true...



Thanks

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....

Server Error 1431 When Setting Up Database Mirroring Using Local System Accounts And Certificate Authentication

May 24, 2006

I attempted to setup database mirroring using a High Availability scenario but when I installed SQL is chose to use local system accounts for all the services. Consequently, I stubled upon a microsoft article explaining how to setup mirroring using local system accounts and certificate authentication but I am stil not able to get it to work. When I try ti initiate the mirror from the mirror server I receive an error stating "Neither the partner nor the witness server instance for database "EDENLive" is available. Reissue the command when at least one of the instances becomes available." I have checked all the endpoints and everything seems to be in order. I even checked to make sure that each server was listening on the appropriate ports and I AM able to telnet to the ports. Please help!

Mirroring

Mar 7, 2000

Hi All
By mirroring I mean device mirror, since I do not think that there is a database mirror
We only have disk mirror. I also know that SQLServer 7.0 does not provide Mirror, unmirror or remirror. and for this we have to refer to Windows NT disk mirroring.
I need mirroring in both versions SQL Server 6.5 and 7.0

I want to have mirror on another server. I need this for tonight.
Sincerely.

Help Need For Mirroring

Apr 1, 2008

I hereby let u know the steps that i undertook for performing mirroring



1. Created a database in Principal server named Mirror1 and one table named tblMirror1.( no values inside the table)

2. Repeated the same in Mirror in Witness

3. Selected the Principal server's database -->right click-->tasks-->mirror

4. from the left hand panel selected Options -->recovery model-->full

5. selected Mirroring from left hand panel-->configure secuirty-->entered mirror and witness name--Success



6. When I click on start mirroring I have an error stating

" Alter failed for database mirror1"

"Database mirroring cannot be enabled because Mirror1 database may have bulk logged changes that have not been backed up etc...."




7. followed this one
BACKUP database mirror1 TO DISK='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK'

got the answer as

Processed 160 pages for database 'mirror1', file 'Mirror1' on file 2.
Processed 1 pages for database 'mirror1', file 'Mirror1_log' on file 2.
BACKUP DATABASE successfully processed 161 pages in 0.318 seconds (4.147 MB/sec).

According to sources
Run a restore of this backup on your mirror.
This can be done through the GUI or using a T-SQL command.

The database restore must use the NO RECOVERY option, so the database stays in a loading state.

Also the database name on the mirror must be the exact same name as the principal

RESTORE TestMirror FROM DISK='C:Backup TestMirror_FULL.BAK' WITH NORECOVERY



Hence did the below


RESTORE database mirror1 FROM DISK='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK' WITH NORECOVERY

ERROR

Msg 3201, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK'. Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.).
Msg 3013, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally.


HENCE MODIFIED AS

use master
go
RESTORE database mirror1 FROM DISK='C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK' WITH NORECOVERY

Msg 3201, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
Cannot open backup device 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackupmirror1_FULL.BAK'. Operating system error 2(The system cannot find the file specified.).

Mirroring

Mar 26, 2008

Hi All,

I am trying to set up database mirroring and in the initial phase of database restoring im getting some problem.

the scenario is .

1- I create a TestMirror on server1(which will be principal server) and backup full and transaction logs.

2- create TestMirror in server 2( Which is going to be used as mirror) .

3- restore the full backup of "TestMirror" from Principle Sever with NORECOVERY option.



this step results in a message box showing that the restore was successfull...

but the database explorer( management studio) shows the TestMirror in (restoring ...) state. and no more operations can be performed with this Database. ( because the database is in restoring mode).. please help what this issue is?



Thanks In Advance for any suggestions

Mirroring Confusion.

Aug 10, 2006

I am testing out Synchronous Mirroring and have a question about failover. It seems the only way I can failover to the Mirror box is to log onto the Principal box and hit the Failover button? Is the whole point of mirroring to be able to handle the Principal not being available? Is there another way?

TIA, ChrisR

Database Mirroring

Mar 12, 2008

Hi All,

Couple of questions about database mirroing.

1. Once the mirroring is setup is it possible to switch between high-protection and high-performance modes? If it is will I have to stop the mirroring, switch the modes and then restart it again?

2. Let's say the principal server went down and I manually failed over to the mirror server. Mirror server runs as a new principal server for a couple of days and then I bring the original principal server back up. What needs to be done in order to bring transactions on the principal server up to date?

Thanks.

Mirroring & Snapshots?

May 16, 2008

I think I've read some conflicting advice in BOL. Maybe someone can clarify it for me.

Under "Database Mirroring and Database Snapshots" it says:
"You can take advantage of a mirror database that you are maintaining for availability purposes to offload reporting. To use a mirror database for reporting, you can create a database snapshots on the mirror database and direct client connection requests to the most recent snapshot"

To my mind, to enjoy a noteworthy performance gain, that mirror database would need to be on another server.

But then you read under "Database Snapshots":
"Multiple snapshots can exist on a source database and always reside on the same server instance as the database."

So how do you get the snapshot to the mirror?

Mirroring Question

Jun 5, 2008

I have a quick question regarding mirroring failover. If you have mirroring setup with a witness and the principal server goes down, once the principal is back up as the mirror will it automatically synchronize with the new Principal?

The main thing that I wasn't sure of is that if it took a fair amount of time to bring the original principal back up, the new principal will be in production so will all the new transactions be sent to the mirror once it is available?

Database Mirroring

Jul 30, 2007

we want to migrate our production server , without taking the database down.so what we did was , we mirrored the databases from production to one of our development servers and we took the prodcution server for uprgrade.

so today we are moving back (mirroring) all the databases from that development server to our new production server.

my question is , when i move

productionserver_old(principal server) - having the script for principal server

development server(mirror server---->principalserver)) - having the script for mirror server , which is now acting as principal server

new production server(mirror server) - having the script for mirror server. will become principal server , once i moved all the databases

now while mirroring between the developement server and the new production server, i have to run the scripts for the mirror server only.

so both the servers are havign the mirror script now...

is that a problem, or any other way i can handle this....
