Problem with implementing mirroring on the local machine.

  • I am trying to implement mirroring on the local machine b/w two instances on the same machine.

    But I get the following error.

    One or more of the server network addresses lacks a fully qualified domain name (FQDN). Specify the FQDN for each server, and click Start Mirroring again.

    The syntax for a fully-qualified TCP address is:

    TCP://<computer_name>.<domain_segment>[.<domain_segment>]:<port>

    I am on the same local machine. So I cannot give the domain name. There is machineName:Portnumber on both the Principle and Mirrored instances.

    It is not allowing me to do mirroring.

    What could I do to resolve this issue?

  • Computer name is the name of your computer.

    If mirroring between instances on the same server, you have to use different ports for each instance.

  • They do have different ports assigned.

    Principle: TCP://CompName:5022

    Mirrored: TCP://CompName:5023

    Even then I get the error.

    I am using 2005 and I am working on Win7. If that will make any difference.

    If you are connecting a named instance, the instance name needs to be in there as well.

  • Priciple: TCP://Nawaz-PC:5022

    Mirror: TCP://cOMPUTERnAME.INSName:5023

    Even Then I get the error.

    I am not sure of the format when mirroring to a named instance. When I established mirroring in a production environment it was between default instances on separate servers. I will have to do some research to figure at what may be wrong with your code.

  • Any way Thanks u for the help.
