upgrade service pack

  • how to upgrade service packs when the db is configured in logshipping \mirroring in sql 2005\2008?

  • for log shipping, upgrade the secondary first, then the primary. You shouldn't have to stop log shipping. if your secondary is in stand-by then you may have to change secondary to no recovery until both instances are at the same patch version.

    for mirroring you can refer to this article: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb497962(v=sql.105).aspx

  • You could suspend mirroring. Patch and reboot the mirror partner. Resume, wait for sync, and fail over. Then repeat on the other side.

    Similarly with log shipping. Stop the copy / restore jobs. Patch and reboot the secondary. Patch and reboot the primary. Resume the copy and restore jobs.
