Mirroring

  • i dont have experience in mirroring , can any one pls clarify this ?

    I have 3 servers configured in mirroring .when the principle database is crashed , how can we make the mirroring to live ?

    can we shrink the log file in mirroring ?

  • That depends what mode your mirroring is running in and whether or not you have a witness server.

  • its running under high availability mode and a mirror server exists and if not a mirror ?

  • Huh?

    Synchronous or asynchronous? Do you have a witness server?

  • its running under synchronous , witness is there

  • Then you have auto failover. If the principal fails, the mirror will come online automatically. If client apps are using SNAC, they will redirect automatically as well

  • Gail,

    Just curious, what does SNAC stand for?

    Thanks,

  • SQL Native Access Client.

    Google works, but the search terms aren't maybe the most intuitive

  • Thanks,

    You are right- Goggle search for SNAC returned a lot of funny stuff.

    We actually used probably something similar- Sql Server Native Client OLEDB provider-

    simply add "Failover_Partner" (for mirror DB) keyword for Connection String. Need to read a bit regarding this SNAC. Thanks again
