  Hi Sathish,

  Can u explain clearly what u want to knw?I think u have done mirroring.If you look at the mirror server ie Server B, you can your server B is in restoring State(look in management Studio).I think your mirror server is in restoring State.

  With mirroring, only one of both databases can be available at an instance at a single point in time.

  So the other is awaiting for log entries, hence in "restoring" state.

  Without a witness, you'll have to decide yourself which one is acitve.

  If both have ben set in a non-restoring state, SQLMirroring cannot decide for you which one contains the data you want.
