SQL Server 2005 mirroring

  • Hi,

    Does quorum in Mirroring works as a quorum in Clustering. Please describe how quorum works in mirroring.

    Thanks

  • no ehum yes, well maybe.

    Quorum with mirroring means it can connect any of the mirroring members to each other or one of the members to the witness.

    Have a look at BOL topic "Quorum in Database Mirroring Sessions"

    or http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189902%28SQL.90%29.aspx

    AFAIK with clustering ( w2003 ) the quorum is maintained using a single disk resource.

    ( so it doesn't have the flexibility like dbmirroring does )

    So, the answer is: No

    If anything the quorum in database mirroring rather more matches the new clustering Majority Node Set quroum model which is available in both Windows 2003 and Windows 2008.
