SQL Server Database Mirroring can be configured in three different Modes:
1). Sync Mode with Automatic Failover: Witness server is required. Data movement from Primary to Mirror server in Sync mode, first committed at Mirror Server. Zero Data loss in case of Failover. Both EE and STD Edition supports this Mirroring Configuration.
2). Sync Mode with Manual Failover: Witness is not required. Data movement from Primary Server to Mirror Server in Sync mode, first committed at Mirror Server. Zero Data Loss in case of Failover. Both EE and STD Edition supports this Mirroring Configuration.
3). ASync Mode with Manual Failover: Witness Server is not required. Data Movement from Primary Server to Secondary Server Async Mode. First committed at Primary and than log is harden at Mirror Server. This Mode has performance benefits to high transaction OLTP systems, at cost of data loss. This Mirroring Configuration can only be setup in EE edition of SQL Server.
--Script to Mirror SQL Server DB in Sync mode without witness server.
--1). Primary SQL Server.
CREATE ENDPOINT Endpoint_Mirroring
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT=5022)
FOR DATABASE_MIRRORING (ROLE=PARTNER)
GO
USE master ;
GO
CREATE LOGIN [Domain\SQLSVC] FROM WINDOWS ;
GO
GRANT CONNECT ON ENDPOINT::Endpoint_Mirroring TO [Domain\sqlsvc];
GO
--2). Run the following script on Mirror server.
CREATE ENDPOINT Endpoint_Mirroring
STATE=STARTED
AS TCP (LISTENER_PORT=5022)
FOR DATABASE_MIRRORING (ROLE=ALL)
GO
GRANT CONNECT ON ENDPOINT::Endpoint_Mirroring TO [Domain\sqlsvc];
GO
ALTER DATABASE testmirror
SET PARTNER =
'TCP://PrincipalServer.domain.com:5022'
GO
--3).Connect to Principal instance and run the following script.
ALTER DATABASE testmirror
SET PARTNER =
'TCP://mirrorserver.domain.com:5022'
GO
--At this point Mirroring setup for TestMirror DB is complete. Following steps highlight how to monitor mirrored DB.
--Run the following Monitor Mirroring scripts on Principal and Mirror instance.
SELECT role_desc, state_desc FROM sys.database_mirroring_endpoints
SELECT db.name, m.mirroring_role_desc
FROM sys.database_mirroring m
JOIN sys.databases db
ON db.database_id = m.database_id
WHERE db.name = N'testmirror';
GO
--Add Database to Database Mirror Monitor and set threshold.
--Check SQL Server Errorlog for any unsend or unrestored log messages.
--Setting up the Threshold monitor will write threshold violation to the sql server error log.
--Only EE supports Alter Partner Saftey. By default Partner Safety is Full. i.e. Transactions are transmitted from Primary to Mirror server in Sync Mode.
--Below script to change Mirror Configuration in Sync Mode.
--Needs to be execute at Primary Server.
ALTER DATABASE testmirror SET PARTNER SAFETY FULL
--Below Script to change Mirror Configuration in Async Mode. Only EE support this Feature.
--Needs to be execute at Primary Server.
ALTER DATABASE testmirror SET PARTNER SAFETY OFF
You will not notice following error message in SQL Server if you are not using EE Edition.
Msg 1473, Level 16, State 6, Line 1
This SQL Server edition does not allow changing the safety level. ALTER DATABASE command failed.
