Hi, I've 2 SQL 2005 ENT on 2 Win2K3 and i'm testing DB mirroring and i've question. after i set that DB mirroring with no whiteness and i and i update the principal database with some tables and index and logins i stop the principal sql service "to imagine server failure" and i can't set the mirror database to operate his state is in Mirror,Disconnect / In Recovery. how i turn on the mirror database after my principal server crash? Thx
So this is nothing but FORCED service, you could use ALTER DATABASE DBName SET PARTNER FORCE_SERVICE_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS; because the mirror database is not changing, it could be a REDO queue issue. Look at BOL for FORCED SERVICE topic for more information.
