Database Mirroring problem

  • Hi all,

    I am trying to do a test mirroring from site A to site B, both are on different WAN

    The problem here is when I am starting the mirroring I am getting this error

    ------------------------------

    The server network address "TCP://ipaddress:5023" can not be reached or does not exist. Check the network address name and that the ports for the local and remote endpoints are operational. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1418)

    ------------------------------

    But when I am trying to do mirroring between two different servers on site B I am able to do it.

    Can any one tell, whether it’s the problem between the subnet or its like permissions access for transferring files between this servers. I am able to ping this servers though.

    Thanks

  • Hi Nicole

    Only problem I could think of your case is TCP/IP.Make sure TCP/IP enabled on both the servers

  • The IP address and port are not communicating. Can you check a netstat and see if that port is open on the server?

  • i checked the TCP they are fine, i did the netstat -abn and the ports are available

  • On separate WANs, you might have networking rules preventing the port from being used.

  • steve, do you know how to allow the ports to work on separate WANs i guess this is the only problem, and i dont have any idea about it. i am talking with my network admin and even he says he dont know.
