    Few things need to know. TIA Using HP asynchronous (manual failover) mirroring to our dr site.
    1. How does mirroring handle FT catalogs?
    2. If I'm mirroring from a cluster, and it fails over to another node does/would that failover cause the mirror to think its the principal? How can I mitigate this?
    3. SSIS packages - do I just copy the DTSx files to a same path on the mirror? How/do I need then to synch/mirror the msdb (can you mirror this db?)
    4. For SQLjobs, will it reflect on the DR server if I ran them?
    5. For testing, how would I bring the mirror online, and how to failback?
    6. where should I put the witness?

    3.You have to copy the packages as the system databases will not mirrored or migrated, best to recreate them with a script.
    4. Same with Jobs as per step 3 recreate them but disable them.
    5 & 6 - see my presntation http://sqlserver-qa.net/tags/database mirroring/default.aspx?PageIndex=3
