  • Error:

    Ther server network address "TCP://svrbdb:5022" can not be reached or

    does not exist. Check the network address nam and that ports for the local

    and remote endpoints are operational. (Microsoft SQL Server, error: 1418)

    And I'm susing mssql 2005 sp1.

    Thanks!

  • I don't know whether your Principal and Mirror servers are on the same LAN, but if not and you have a firewall configured, check that your Principal server has access via the firewall to port 5022.

    If this does not apply then check that port 5022 (the default port for Database Mirroring) is not already being used for something else and if it is, specify another port number during mirroring setup.

    (corrected port number from 5033 to 5022)

  • Hi appreciate your comments but the setup is in the same network and ip range. no firewall, no antivirus firewall, and i can telnet and ping the ip address, hostname, and ports. tried using other ports but still no luck.

  • Hmm, ok. I notice that you are not using a fully-qualified TCP address, e.g. "TCP://svrbdb..com:5022".

    Try specifying a fully-qualified TCP address.

  • I didn't think Mirroring was supported until SP2.

  • so mssql sp1 really doesn't work for mirroring?

  • probably i will try doing mirroring in a domain environment...

    so mssql sp1 really doesn't work for mirroring?

    It does work in SP1. There have been improvements (performance-wise) in SP2 and SP3.

  • ah ok... i'll try configure mirroring in a domain environment coz probably the problem is on the authentication. in workgroup we need to setup certificates unlike domain its built-in account.
