SQL mirror

Hi, 
Quick question. Whilst I understand that the high availability options for back end services need to be the same for both sets of paired pools, can we deploy
a SQL mirrored back end server for pool 1 and a standalone SQL server for pool 2 and pair both pools ? 
Thanks

I am not sure on the MS best practice answer, although I suspect it will be something about them being identical :) But it does work. I've done it before for a short period, whilst waiting for an additional SQL Server license and it seemed to work without
any obvious issues.

  • Project Server 2010 failover environment with Database SQL Mirroring

     
    Hello,
    We have prod and failover environment. Failover environment created by using farm backup and restore of prod.
    my question is : Can we do SQL Mirroring (from prod to failover) of 5 databases (4 PS databases and content db) to keep both the environment in sync. Will this process work in the case of Project
    Server 2010. i am in doubt due to timestamp and GUID in config DB.
    Also will this process is supportable.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello MOhit2020,
    I haven't done this type of failover, but I think you would need to setup all your SharePoint  and project databases to use a SQL Alias to point to your production databases.  When and if your production databases failed, you would update
    your SQL Alias to point to the mirror location.
    The other nice feature about having SQL Alias setup in SharePoint, is that in the future, if you switch to another SQL Server, the SQL alias makes it easier to handle.

  • Simple SQL Mirror Failover Setup?

    Hello,
    I would think this would be very simple however I can't find a single Adobe document with any information about it!
    In ColdFusion 10 under the Data Sources / SQL Server there is a Connection String box...
    From my hours of Google Searching it SEEMS like all you have to do is add: AlternateServers=(X.X.X.X:1433) to that box and SQL Mirroring failover should work and be automatic...is this correct?
    If anyone has any documentation or experience with this I would greatly appreciate your input...it doesn't seem like this should be all that complicated...or unique...but all the info I find on this is either really old or not really pertaining to this simple setup.
    FYI SQL Servers are Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 (I think SP2).
    Thanks!

    Seriously? Nothing? Bump!

  • RDS 2012 R2 Connection broker in HA mode SQL mirroring issue

    Hi,
    I have an issue where our two brokers will not connect to the failover database when the database fails over.
    Our setup:
    Database - 2 x SQL 2012 Standard with the RDCB database mirrored in high safety with automatic failover mode. 
    Brokers/Web gateways - 2 x server duel role servers in different subnets. They're configured in HA mode
    I won't include the session hosts as it's out of scope for this issue.
    So the RD database connection string has been set to:
    DatabaseConnectionString : DRIVER=SQL Server Native Client 11.0;SERVER=server2\instance2,5555;Failover_Partner=server1\instance1,5555;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Remote Desktop Services Connection Broker;Database=RDCB
    So when this was first set, the DB was failed over and it worked. It was then failed back to the correct principal but now when failed over to the Failover_Partner it will not connect.
    I've confirmed the SQL permissions and custom port aren't an issue.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Stephen Turner

    Hi Stephen,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Did you receive any specific error\Event ID for your issue?
    Apart it seems there is some misconfiguration issue for failover cluster. If connections are empty, that means broker servers are not connecting to the mirror server database, most common problem is database security in mirror server. So check all brokers have
    full access to the mirror database and mirror database saved folder.
    For more information to recheck the steps you can go through following articles.

  • SSRT + SQL-mirror

    I have an SQL-mirror (SRV1.example.com, SRV2.example.com) added into DPM 2010. I'm trying to allow some users to restore some databases from that mirror. I created a new DPM role and added SRV1.example.com as SQL Server Instance at the "Specify Recovery
    Items" page. I also added one of the databases, users have to restore, just as 'DB1'. Next, when I try to restore this DB through SSRT, it says me I have no databases available to recovery.
    I ensure my account is in group assigned to DPM role and affected databases have valid recovery points. The datasource's DisplayPath and LogicalName look like 'SRV1\DB1' but when I try to add this string as database name, I get an error "SQL
    Server database with name, SRV1\DB1 and SQL Server instance name, srv1.example.com could not be found". If I leave Database Name blank, I can restore any DB from that SQL-mirror with SSRT.
    How can I restrict users with only some databases to restore at my SQL-mirror?

    As we found out, there are some inconsistencies happened in our DPMDB, preventing filter from correctly works. We rebuilt our DPM server.

  • Lync 2013 SQL Mirroring

    I have Lync server 2013 SQL mirroring in place.  My firm is looking to decrease our SQL server count. Can I collocate none Lync databases on the Mirror Lync SQL instance? Thanks.

    Hi TTMing,
    It’s not recommend collocating Lync Server databases with other databases, this might affect availability and performance.
    Form https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398990%28v=ocs.15%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    “If you collocate Lync Server databases with other databases, we highly recommend assessing all factors that might affect availability and performance, as well as ensuring that, if one node fails, the remaining node can handle the load. To verify failover
    capabilities, we recommend testing all failover scenarios. ”

  • Lync 2013 sql mirroring with different doamin sql server.

    Hi,
    can I create lync BE sql mirroring with different domain sql server with one AD forest?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can note the sentence “Using Topology Builder or cmdlets to set up and remove SQL mirroring is supported only when the primary, mirror, and witness (if desired) servers all belong to the same domain. If you want to set up SQL mirroring among servers
    in different domains, see your SQL Server documentation.” In the link below:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204992.aspx
    So I think in Lync server if you use Topology Builder or cmdlets to set up and remove SQL mirroring only if when the primary, mirror, and witness (if desired) servers all belong to the same domain. If you want to set up SQL mirroring among servers in different
    domains you may do some steps on SQL server and you can also post a case on SQL forum, thank you for your understanding.

  • SQL mirroring or SQL mirroring?

    Hi,
    Lync Topology builder is able to build the SQL mirroring between the hosts. But what about if SQL team like to avoid that to use that? I mean is there big differences if the mirroring is built by topology team, or by SQL own tools?
    And how is the supporting?
    Technet says about
    mirroring "You use Topology Builder to deploy SQL mirroring
    ". But it does not clarify if there are any differences if the mirroring is built by built in tools of SQL.
    Petri

    you still can build the Mirror using SQL Management Studio. as long as you have configured all Lync server host names in SQL Security with correct permission,
    Lync should be able to manage the mirror. I had to do this on one of the sites and it's functioning without any issues.
    When you say, Lync should be able to manage the mirroring, what do you exactly mean by that? How much Lync actually care about the mirroring? Especially in case when witness is not deployed.
    Also if there is a fail over on the SQL site which is initialized by the SQL itself (e.g. SQL team member does the fail over). How much that affect for the Lync?

  • SQL Conectivity error (1418) on SQL Mirroring in SQL Server_2014 Enterprises

    I perform this subjected task/activity in DOMAIN environment with Multiple VPN.
    No matter what I try, I constantly run into a 1418 error, I've check all my tcp/ip configs both in sql,
    and the server 2012 os, on both vms/physical machine.  I’ve
    enabled tcp/ip filtering and allowed all connections, rulessets in firewall, I’ve used telnet to connect up.  Nothing
    seems to work.  Each
    server can ping the other, they can telnet into 5022, & 5023 as well. I don’t know where to proceed from here.  Is
    there some config somewhere or issues with vms that I am not seeing?  All
    the machines in the mirroring array are server 2012 with same SQL 2014 Ent edition. Now please guide as what can we do to go at next Step....!
    Regards,
    Zeeshan

    Hi Zeeshan,
    Please check the following, have you checked the error log? Share the error screenshot here in order to verify the issue.
    Make sure that the mirror database is ready for mirroring.
    Make sure that the name and port of the mirror server instance are correct.
    Make sure that the destination mirror server instance is not behind a firewall.
    Make sure that the principal server instance is not behind a firewall.
    Verify that the endpoints are started on the partners by using the state or state_desc column the of the sys.database_mirroring_endpoints catalog view. If either endpoint is not
    started, execute an ALTER ENDPOINT statement to start it.
    Make sure that the principal server instance is listening on the port assigned to its database mirroring endpoint and that and the mirror server instance is listening on its port. For more information, see "Verifying Port Availability," later in this
    topic. If a partner is not listening on its assigned port, modify the database mirroring endpoint to listen on a different port.

  • Failover SharePoint SQL Mirror steps?

    Hi
    I have a stretched SharePoint 2010 farm across 2 DCs.  We have a SQL server in each site (2008 R2) using asynchronous mirroring.  We use Power Pivot service application - its DB is also mirrored.  I set the failover server/database location
    using PowerShell for all SP DBs.
    We attempted a mirror failover last week using the following process:
    1. Activated the mirrored DBs
    2. Updated Power Pivot service application to point to the new failover server/db
    Afterwards all SP services seemed ok - apart from Power Pivot.  We got an error about "unable to refresh data".  The reports would load but we could refresh data within those reports.
    I just want to ask are we following the correct procedure in failing over?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the PowerPivot reports could not refresh data after changing the databases.
    I recommend to make sure that the following services are running:
    Excel Calculation Service; Secure Store Service;
    Claims to Windows Token Service; PowerPivot Service.
    And check the service account’s permission on the new database.
    Please also try to point the PowerPivot service application to the former database to see if the issue still occurs.
    Could you please provide more detailed error message in the ULS log?
    Thanks,

  • CMS Movement from Lync 2010 to Lync 2013 SQL Mirroring

    Hi,
    I have read the articles and i know how to move CMS to Lync 2013 , MY question is after moment CMS to Lync 2013 , the new DBs on SQL server will be mirrored automatically or i have to apply some procedure to make them mirror.
    Regards
    Usman Ghani
    Usman Ghani - MCITP Exchange 2010

    Good morning,
    If the new Lync 2013 Enterprise Pool you deployed has a mirrored backend, then when you move the CMS to that instance the database will inherently be mirrored. There is no requirement to perform any additional action or procedure.
    This assumes that you have an enterprise Lync 2013 deployment as a mirrored CMS would not be available on a standard edition deployment.
    Kind regards
    Ben

  • App-V 5 Reporting Database SQL Mirroring

    Hi,
    As I understand, there is a registry entry for the SQL string in order for the App-V Management Database to work with a mirrored database.  However, I've searched all over and could not find an equivalent setting to the Reporting Database.
    I understand that the Management DB is important however in my organization we may have over 30,000 clients sending usage data to the reporting server so we would like to ensure that the Database server is fault tolerant by mirror the database.
    It is my belief that the Reporting Database will grow larger and have more transactions than the Management Server Database due to client user log collection.

    Thanks for the response.  We have implemented the same SQL string we use for Management DB for mirroring and it does not work for Reporting Server.  When we stopped the MSSQL services on the principal SQL DB server.  The App-V Reporting Server
    loses connectivity to the DB. 
    This is the string that we use for the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\AppV\Server\ReportingService
    Keyname: REPORTING_SQL_CONNECTION_STRING
    Data Source={0};Initial Catalog={1};Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;Asynchronous Processing=true;Failover Partner=FQDN_SQL_Mirror_server
    We are able to verify that the Management DB with the failover partner string does work.
    I just hope somebody from Microsoft can read this and help us out.  Because in a production App-V environment with many clients sending reporting data this will have more impact on our environment than the publishing or management servers.

  • SQL Mirroring Requirement (Witness server) in LYNC 2013

    Hi Everyone,
    We are designing a Highly Available solution of for LYNC 2013 and planning to add a witness server to the backed SQL server.
    Following are my Queries.
    1)For the witness server should the SQL server be dedicated to the LYNC infrastructure or it can be used to host other databases.
    2)I am assuming the Witness Database should be in the same Domain?
    3)What is the version of the SQL server that is supported as the Witness server, can this be the Free SQL express edition ?
    Waiting for some replies :-)
