Error while setting up DB Mirroring

  • Hi,

    I am trying to setup DB mirroring on SS2k5 and its failing with errors as

    "The Server Network address "TCP://HQ-BMC-D-1.tdic.auh:5022" cannot be reached or does not exist. Check the network address name and the ports for the local and remote endpoints are operational. (Microsoft SQL Error, Error: 1418)".

    Here's my endpoint script:

    CREATE ENDPOINT [Mirroring]

    AUTHORIZATION [TDIC\hq-srv-sdb]

    STATE=STARTED

    AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT = 5022, LISTENER_IP = ALL)

    FOR DATA_MIRRORING (ROLE = PARTNER, AUTHENTICATION = WINDOWS NEGOTIATE

    , ENCRYPTION = DISABLED)

    Please let me know, if i am missing something.

    Thanks & Regards,

    Rohit

  • Rohit ,

    Looks like the isue is related to the FQDN .is HQ-BMC-D-1.tdic.auh a correct name or the actual name .Or its shadowing the actual name .

    Other possibility could be the port being blocked or is in use already .

    Regards

  • Thanks Abhay for reply. I dont see here FQDN is the problem, as it is resolving the name correctly from principal server to mirror server.

    The server HQ-BMC-D-1.tdic.auh is not the actual server. Its the VM Server and "HQ-BMC-D-1.tdic.auh" is the actual name of this VM.

    The port 5022 is listening on "HQ-BMC-D-1.tdic.auh", which i tried using telnet on this port. Also, no connection is till yet established (checked from netstat -a)

    Any idea, if the actual issue is with the VM? Logically, this should work.

  • What account are you running sql server under? as you will have issues if you are using a LocalSystem account

  • I am running both principal and mirror sql instances under domain account (service account) [domain_name\username]
