SSIS package for DR in database mirroring (job run when need to failover)

  • Hello All,

    Yesterday my new boss gave me this assignment on SSIS , I am hoping some one of you might have gone through it or has an idea, since I am a junior DBA and new to SSIS any help with me on this will be greatly appreciated.

    I have a test scenario of DR in the dev boxes in SQL2005 with DB mirroring. Set up a principal and mirror server both with same service account without any witness server with manual fail over when the need arises. Let’s say in our case principal is server A and mirror is server B.

    (Was feeling pretty good about myself when did that ), but suddenly now my boss wants me to design a SSIS package in the case of DR will look for the databases in server A and failover them over to server B automatically.(without going to actually go to Task->mirror-> click the failover option manually). The job will run as needed and the package also needs to read the name of the databases (one or multiple) from a excel file.

    Guys I hope someone please able to help me in this... … If you already have done something like that or know what to do please help me ASAP…

    I have a thoughts like.

    1. Setup Database mirrorng for SSISDB

    2. Keep monitoring the state of the databases .

    3 Wite a logic in SQL Agent jobs which can run the pakages whereever primary it is .

    THanks
