Mirroring between two servers

  • Hi DBAs,

    I need some clarification on setting up SQL mirroring between different version of SQL Server. Can we setup mirroring between SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2014. We are testing so just need to setup mirroring and when configuring mirroring got the below error message. Please help..

    'CANTL\Prd1' is not a valid mirror server instance, which must be the Enterprise, Developer, or Standard edition of SQL Server.

    Just out of interest, what edition of SQL Server is CANTL\Prd1?

  • Mirroring between 2 different version of SQL Server is not supported (MSDN). Here you're attempting mirror a instance that is 2 versions later, so I'm not really surprised by the error you're getting.

  • thanks for your reply. the CANTL\Prd1 is SQL 2015 EE and the primary server is SQL 2008 R2
