Database Mirroring Login Accounts

I need to setup database mirroring between 2 separate SQL 2012 instances. The documentation states that if the 2 server instances are running under different user accounts then these need to be manually created on both instances. Is this login account the
account that was used when installing SQL or is it the account assigned to run the SQL server service account?
Thanks
Alistair

If the server instances run as different user accounts, user logins on the server instance that hosts the principal server or primary replica must be manually reproduced on the server instance that hosts the mirror server or on every server instance that
hosts a secondary replica. For more information, see Create a Login for a Different Account and Grant
Connect Permission, later in this topic.
I am still unsure what it means when it refers to
'If the server instances run as different user accounts'. Is this the account that shows in services under our instance 'SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)?
Thanks
Did you read below example(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366346.aspx#CreateLogin)
For example, for the server instance sqlA, which runs under loginA, to connect to the server instance sqlB, which runs under loginB, loginA must be in the
syslogins table on sqlB, and loginB must be in the syslogins table on sqlA. In addition, for a database mirroring session that includes a witness server instance (sqlC) and in which the three server instances run under different
domain accounts, the following logins must be created:
On instance...
Create logins for and grant connection permission to ...
sqlA
sqlB and sqlC
sqlB
sqlA and sqlC
sqlC
sqlA and sqlB
Note
It is possible to connect with the network service account by using the machine account instead of a domain user. If the machine account is used, it must be added as a user on the other server instance.
Is it still unclear

    I want to migrate data from Server A to Server B using database mirror.
    I set up the

  • Database mirroring and service accounts

    Hi,
    I am trying to configure database mirroring with sql server 2012.
    My principal instance and my mirror instance are on different server.
    Both SQL Server service run with NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER.
    Now when I am configuring database mirroring, which service account should I use ?
    database account or server account ?
    Instead of using domain account, can I :
    1- create local account on my two server
    2- Add these 2 logins in my 2 instances.
    3- use these local account for configuring database mirroring.
    regards

    You should use domain account as I consider them more secured. What is database account there is nothing like that account here means valid windows login or domain account having privileges oon system.

  • Database Mirroring problem

    I'm getting an error setting up Mirrroring that I cannot seems to fix. I'm using a setup of two SQL servers with no witness, both running SQL Server 2008 R2. I setup the perms on Primary, Backup Full the database in question (MMS Database to test) and then
    restore that using NO Recovery on the Secondary. I then setup the Security Wizard on the Primary, after which it sets up the end-points correctly on both servers using the service account which is local admin and Sysadmin on both boxes. However, when I then
    choose to start mirroring, I consistently get a 1418 error saying that the server cannot be reached or does not exist. I have verified that the FQDN and port 5022 is open using Netstat and using telnet and TCP protocol is enabled on both boxes. 
    Any other suggestions? Any obvious perms I might have forgotten to copy across? I've copied App Pool, CA, Content Access, Cache and Service accounts to the secondary box as logins with no fixed roles. Both End Points for Database Mirroring list as started. 

    Hi Robin,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when mirroring the databases.
    Did you use Kerberos authentication in SharePoint?
    If yes, when you run the SQL Server service under a domain account or under a local account, the attempt to create the SPN will fail in most cases because the domain account and the local account do not have the right to set their own SPNs. When the SPN
    creation is not successful, this means that no SPN is set up for the computer that is running SQL Server, so the communication between the servers will fail.
    So I recommend to configure the SPN for SQL, please refer to the link below:

  • Error in Starting Database Mirroring

    Hai Everyone.. I have an issue in mirroring which i described below.
    I am getting the above error when i click on "start mirroring" button. I turned off firewall in my antivirus. 
    And i also executed the below script in both my principal and mirror server. Because i created both the instances in my system only. And i am accessing those instances with windows authentication.
    Go
    GRANT CONNECT ON ENDPOINT:: EMP1_MIRRORING TO [DEVLAP5170\login];
    Go

    Hi,
    How’s everything going?
    Also, see prerequisites for database mirroring:
    For a mirroring session to be established, the partners and the witness, if any, must be running on the same version of SQL Server.
    The two partners, that is the principal server and mirror server, must be running the same edition of SQL Server. The witness, if any, can run on any edition of SQL Server that supports database mirroring.
    The database must use the full recovery model.
    Verify that the mirror server has sufficient disk space for the mirror database.
    When you are creating the mirror database on the mirror server, make sure that you restore the backup of the principal database specifying the same database name WITH NORECOVERY. Also, all log backups that were created after
    that backup was taken must also be applied, again WITH NORECOVERY.

  • Database Mirroring Encryption

    Hi,
     Our security team, scanned database server (SQL 2005) and mentioned that there are two connections (ref: below screenshot) which are not being encrypted. When we looked at the connections, they were database mirroring related. (Engine
    level: we implemented SSL certificate).
    So, we started working on to encrypt these connections as well. We created certificate and assigned it to the Endpoints, successfully. (Ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191140(v=sql.90).aspx). The only thing that we didn't follow is "CREATE
    LOGIN" part and Database mirroring is running & synchronizing. But we still can see those two connections exists.
    QUESTION: What are we missing? Any ideas will be a great help. Thank you very much.

  • IOS 8 - iCloud Keychain with Multiple Login Accounts for a Site

    I use iCloud Keychain to store multiple login accounts for a single website.
    When using Safari on a Mac, the last login account I used for that site is prepopulated in yellow fields. If I want to change the login account, I clear the field with the login ID and I see a dropdown of all of the login accounts available for that site.
    When using Safari on iOS 7, the last login account I used is prepopulated (just like with the Mac), but if I want to use a different login account, I need to enter enough characters in the login ID field for Safari to know which login account I want to use and then it autofills using that account.
    Now, with iOS 8, all I get is the last login account I used. I can't figure out how to autofill any of my other login accounts for that site.
    I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Sharing Music from different login accounts on a MacBook Pro

    I just have a quick question. My wife sync's her iPhone to her account login on my MacBook Pro which is different from my login from startup. We share the computer but I got her, her own login so she could add and mess with the features she prefers. Anywho, I am curious if there is any way to share my music folder on my main admin user account on my MacBook Pro with her login account (we switch users, login and logout). Is this possible? Would make life a LOT easier. Hopefully this makes sense...we both just want to be able to sync the same music to our iPhones without having to backup all the music on my external harddrive and then load it onto her login account. I dont use Mobile Me.

  • Lack of support for FIM database mirroring

    The official line is that database mirroring is not a supported architecture for the FIM deployment. I am not proposing using this, however I'd like to understand 1) What the issues really would be with a mirrored database deployment, 2) Will support
    ever be added for this, and will it come in the form of SQL AlwaysOn?
    Really appreciate help and input.
    Rgds,
    David

    Database mirroring comes has two modes regarding transactions: synchronous or asynchronous.
    Synchronous requires that the data be committed in both places before releasing the transaction. This has a big performance impact on the FIM Service database and to a lesser extent on the FIM Sync Database.
    Asynchronous means that data isn't committed in both places at the same time, the mirror can fall behind and then in failover you could be behind. In order to have automatic failover with Mirroring you have to be able to modify the connection string to include
    the failover partner or the client has to support getting that data at first logon. While you can modify the FIM database connection strings, it is not understood if FIM is using database clients that support mirroring. I believe it is. Even with asynchronous
    you still have performance hit for copying every transaction to the mirror.
    SQL Always On combines the best of mirroring and clustering to allow you to group databases together into an availability set, and then automatic failover the whole group to another server. It should be noted that Always On makes use of a similar underlying
    mechanisms as mirroring to copy the data -- this is evident when you read that Always on also has an asynchronous and synchronous mode. You will most likely run into the same performance quandary.
    Will the product group add support for it? My guess is that it depends on if they find a good way to address the performance issues.

  • Firefox doesn't work right under my normal login account, but is fine under another account. How do I clear my account settings in my normal account?

    Shortly after installing FF4.0, it rendered a local (on my hard drive) website incorrectly. One page, with frames, has more than 1000 list entries each containing a link to another page. The links suddenly become plain text after a few hundred lines of rendered text. Other browsers render the page correctly, as FF did earlier as well.
    Then FF began to crash. When I googled "firefox crashes" it crashed as I clicked the mozilla site link provided by google.
    I followed various trouble-shooting pages on the mozilla site, but could not isolate the problem to any extension or plug-in. The problems persisted even with no plugins and no extensions. I backed off to FF3.6.12 and got the same problems. I logged into a different account and the problems disappeared.
    I clearly need to completely uninstall FF in my main login account and reinstall it but I haven't been able to find all the files that need to be trashed.
    What do I do?
    best,
    Lou
